Water On or Water Off ? ~ Why You Need to See Your Next Action Flick in a 4DX Cinema

Immerse yourself in the cinematic mastery with a 4DX theater played in select cinemas worldwide. With this recent cinematic advancement not only watch the movie, you live it. Every 4DX auditorium is made up of motion picture chairs and is paired with a plethora of special effects. These effects can range from all types of things such as wind, weather, bubbles, and even scents that are synched with the action scenes.

Water on or water off option

Whether it be a vicious rainstorm or a quaint scene at a small coffee shop, the theater will recreate it for the audience. According to the 4DX information page, each motion chair is equipped with a set of three standard movements; heave, roll, and pitch. These settings allow for the motion chair to move up and down, left to right, and tilt backward and forward. The action of the scene also effects the severity of the chair’s movement and vibration. When adapting a film, “i-Studio”, the skilled team of 4DX editors, scrutinizes every scene to maximize the future viewing possibilities. This theater was originally developed to offer a more realistic experience then the standard IMAX theater, or even the hemispherical screen of an omnimax. Despite the omnimax trying to surround its viewers with a concave screen, it does not truly compare to becoming part of the film.

The 4DX theater has also made 3D viewing essentially obsolete by having developed it to an entirely new level. These innovative theaters are also available in a total of 36 countries, making movie viewing possible at all times for those who enjoy meandering the globe. To make things even more exciting, top movies are always on the viewing list, two current examples being Marvel’s Civil War, Batman Vs Superman, and The Jungle Book. The 4DX theater offers a futuristic movie viewing environment making the flat screen a thing of the past with this revolutionary cinematic advancement.
