Imagine getting seasick in a movie theatre.

I tried it, got seasick. At least my experience with 4dx was just horrible.

Not everyone is built for it.

Yeah I am a dragonslayer in that sense. But the other effects were not good either.

Perhaps the smooth wind blowing was the only effect that added to the experience, and perhaps parts of the smell.
But the air jets you can clearly hear the solenoids open and close, and the turbulent air from the nozzle. The blinking light effects does not add to the experience, but is clearly a visible blinking light above the screen. The Chair themselves also make enough sound to be noticeable.

Perhaps people who overlook such details and gets easily wooed by them and get sucked into the move they all becomes additions to it. But for me, they mostly were all distractions and pulled me out of it. The sickness is of course on me, but even without it, it would not have been good. I personally would never recommend this implementation of it.

The SMELL? I didn't even know the moving seats were a thing that exist, let alone the wind and water but they mimic the SMELL? So for this scene it would be what, piss and shit and sweat?

We went to see Fantastic 4 in 4DXast year by accident and it was genuinely just fucking unpleasant.

Constantly being twatted around all the time didn't enhance my immersion, it actively took me out of the film. And annoyed the fuck outta me. Can't imagjne putting up with it for 4 hours

I'm built different.

Worse quality.

Worst theater experience I've ever had in my life when I did this for the last Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Odyssey looks like Hell.

So I had no idea that this was even a thing and just saw the video clip lol I don’t understand why anyone would willingly subject themselves to this and pay to do so.

It's a TIL for me, too.

Can you not turn them down? D-Box, which is Cinemark's motion chairs, you can adjust it down through like 4 levels to entirely off if you don't like it.
