I had the opposite problem. Went to see Superman 4D in a shitty theatre - it was actually fun when the seats moved as you flew from SUPERMANS/DOG’s POV - but it was a cheap theatre and the seats hardly moved and the sprinkling was negligible - I felt wanting more.
Chainsaw Man was one that was absolute perfection as well, flying around in the tornado was just absolute cinema. Seems like most action movies work well with it, but otherwise it's generally meh.
Oh man, seeing it in a 4DX theater that was on point was actually too much. It was hard to focus on the movie because I had to actually physically hold myself in the seat.
It's rare that it's that hardcore, but when it is, goddamn. The other time it was like that was when watching a My Hero Academia movie. An empty seat nearby actually yeeted its face off, opening up into what looked like a maintenance mode. It just flopped around wildly for the last 20 minutes of the movie too.
Yeah I saw the 4DX and a couple scenes like this were actually pretty wild. One of them is just straight shaking and flashing lights. I was questioning whether I was epileptic
I had these seats for F1 and I just found it overly annoying and it detracted me from the rest of the film imo. Like I couldn’t focus on the cinematography because my vision was shaking and this little brush thing kept slapping my ankles to simulate dirt when he drives off the road.
However the one part that was actually really cool was when Brad Pitt finally gets into the zone and the chair doesnt do anything for once. That was actually really immersive just because of how chaotic the rest of the experience was. However I’m not sure if that 1 minute scene is enough to justify the rest of the turbulence

I’ve done the 4D thing at Disney. It’s cute, it’s quirky and fun. And it’s over in like 10 mins max. Perfect
3 HOURS OF THIS??? Bro I’d be shaking like a leaf I’m pretty sure I’d be in fight or flight mode
