As a movie fan, it's a very worthwhile experience to take and file away.
There's lots of room for improvement and it wears it its welcome kind of quickly. Not only do your chairs move up, down, left and right at various speeds, the seats and backs have individual effects to simulate smaller vibrations or more jarring sensations.Īs stated in the video blog above, the 4DX experience isn't for everyone, but it is unique and fun. Vibration: The most obvious and prevalent effect.That's probably a good thing, meaning the effects are subtle and not like a shot of perfume in your face. Some swore to smelling burnt rubber, stale beer and other things during the movie, but it wasn't obvious. Scents: A controversial effect among our group.Bubbles: As far as I could see, there were no bubbles in Transformers: Age of Extinction, but they're probably made with the same water mechanics.They usually only blink once or twice, so as not to light up the whole theater. Lighting: Large strobe lights installed in the ceiling go off when there's an explosion, or need for a little extra ocular engagement.Then there are two tiny ports behind your head for the whizzing of bullets. There might also be smaller units below the seat. Wind: Several huge fans are mounted on the ceilings to blow "wind" for multiple effects.Fog: Two smoke machines at the front of the theater emit smoke when there are explosions in the film.If it's not your thing, this is the one effect you can shut off. There's a mist that sprays around for a more subtle feeling as well as a more dedicated stream that will hit you in the head for bigger scenes. Water: The water effects are sparse but have great impact.Here's a breakdown of each of the advertised effects: And when there's a huge action scene, it literally feels like a theme park ride as the seats and effects get much more prevalent and violent.Īctually, the 4DX effect is so effective and different, there's an employee in the theater for at least half the movie to keep an eye on things. If a 40 foot robot slowly walks down the street, you feel every footstep. Bombs go off? There's smoke and quick flashes. But basically whenever there's any kind of impact or movement on screen, you feel it in your seat. I'm not gonna go through the whole movie. You feel the bass in your seat from the song playing on the soundtrack, wind blowing in your hair, you're in the car with him. The seat rumbles to simulate the open road. Wind continues to blow to make things colder, like the Arctic, and when the man bangs a hammer on a dino tooth, the seat vibrates with the sensation.Ĭut to Texas and Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) is driving. The audience becomes the camera as we feel wind and a flying sensation.
Next, a beautiful helicopter shot takes the film to the Arctic. A bomb is set off and the seat rumbles and shakes violently. Wind begins to blow, as would happen if you were standing outside a huge spaceship, and then the seats move as Bay's camera sweeps around. Next, we're on prehistoric Earth and the seats rumble to mimic the buzzing of the ships. The film starts with spaceships flying above Earth and the 4DX seats rise and slowly follow the motion of the ships to simulate a floating sensation. Then Transformers Age of Extinction began. There's wind blowing and a mist of water, all in time with what's seen on screen. Spouts of air come from behind your head to emulate the sensation of bullets zipping by. The seat rumbles, it moves left, right, up and down.
