    The screen width is 1.85. It's common these days for theaters to have 1.85 common-width screens which means most movies will be letterboxed. No masking, so that means you can see the parts of the screen that are letterboxed. **Gets on soap box** Back in my day screens had masking that got wider for scope movies (common-height), not smaller like at home on a TV. **Gets off soap box**

    • @nickfalzone7955
      @nickfalzone7955 Před rokem +1

      Masking is bad. Alternately, I saw Lion King (new version) in a Dolby theater. LK is 1.85 so there were black bars on sides. I complained and learned that theaters no longer mask with curtains or whatever at least at AMC. HOWEVER - I have an alternate take on this. Yes, masking (and inherent "black" video on sides or top and bottom) is annoying, but it also means that you are going to see the film full-frame - you're literally seeing the edges. I don't know how many times back in the 35mm projection days where they would screw up the aspect ratio, remove top and bottom, sides, etc. In fact, I just saw Maverick in a Dolby theater in NJ and the genius projectionists somehow zoomed in the image and lost a bit of the sides and headroom. How they did this, I have no idea, but I saw the film in another Dolby theater (both 2.35) and it had the proper headroom. So when I see the pillars or letterboxing, I shrug and say at least they're projecting the entire image.

    My first experience of 4DX was a movie double-bill, Fast & Furious 6 and 7 in 2015. Two tickets somehow cost less than a tenner which was too good a deal to pass up trying out this new format out. Next movie I watched was Justice League in 2017.
    It is worth experiencing at least once imo but I would only consider it over other formats including IMAX with Laser (my preferred choice) for certain movies which I think would really benefit from the extra sensory effects. Top Gun: Maverick is one such movie which I think would have been a great experience in pretty much all formats: IMAX, ScreenX, and 4DX. Saw it twice at the cinema, first in IMAX with Laser then on a standard scope screen. Loved it both times.

    For No Way Home the movement was subtle and the wind fx and the light flickers during spell really added to the experience. For Sonic 2 the movement was a bit overdone but the fake snow was cool. Curious to hear your thoughts on ScreenX if you've been.

    • @jedijones
      @jedijones Před rokem +2

      I saw WW84 and Aquaman in ScreenX when they rereleased them last year. I thought they were enjoyable. It adds something to the immersion to have the images on the sides. Both movies had nice color palettes so maybe that added to it. However, it's much harder to justify the premium cost compared to IMAX and 4DX, because you're just paying to add something to your peripheral vision.. All the seats in my theater had a 'new car smell' so I might've gotten high on those chemical fumes too that put me in a better mood. 😆

    My 4DX theater didn't have near the effects you are speaking of. The only wind effect was at the beginning when he was on his motorcycle. We didn't even get it during the sailboat ride! Having been in a plane that was doing aerobatics (when I was much younger), it would have been nice to feel as though I was pulling Gs along with the pilots in this movie. No such luck. I did enjoy the effects of the carrier landings though. Otherwise, the moving chair was more of a distraction. I'm glad I experienced a 4DX movie, especially this one, but I don't think I'd pay the extra to do it again.

    There are no 4DX theaters close to me yet but I would like to give them a try. At a cost of 26 bucks though it would have to be a damn good movie for that price.
    I know that DBOX seats were very pricy when they came out at $15-$16 per seat, I always got them because I wanted the best in the theater, but all of them were removed when they upgraded and installed reclining seats and went to assigned seating.
    DBOX seats are expensive to buy, I know that they wanted 90k for my theater setup in my home and that was only 2 small rows. I ended up getting some a theater was selling for 5k each that went out of business and managed to get them to work with a controller box I got from a swap.

    I've always loved the experience of 4DX and have seen 4 movies in it including Top Gun: Maverick. I have to say the sound was reasonably good in the cinemas here in Australia as there was plenty of bass and clarity throughout.
    It's not always worth it for every movie but it's definitely worth checking out now and then especially when it's being advertised with a movie like Top Gun: Maverick.

    • @scobolstudios1780

      I'm in Australia too and the screens are decent size, there are only 6 - 8 rows of seats in 4dx in Australia so no matter where you are the screen is big. The sound is quite loud with good bass also which means you don't actually hear the fans at any point in time. I don't know if the movie are turned into 4dx globally or locally, but I have found some are hit and miss with areas they have effects and seats moving. I've seen 32 movies in 4dx and some are good some are bad. Horror is good when they only use it for suspense, any marvel film is good with endgame and no way home being standards. There was one or 2 like the invisible man where it was just over used and didn't work, or where like you said there are footsteps where chairs are moving but as each film comes out from the big studios the better they are understanding the best way to use it. I saw jurassic world dominion last night in 4dx and would highly recommend a movie like that in 4dx.

    I've seen this movie twice now in 4DX and I truly believe the 4DX is the best experience for this movie. After hearing you talk about the bass in your screen, me and the Mrs agree that it must've been your screen with the lackluster bass. Our screen was really loud and had great sound subwoofers. Then again you seemed a lot further back than we were. We always aim to be central and level with the screen. In this case 5-6 rows back (Row E on my second viewing) and it was fantastic. I was also confused by you saying about the seat movement outside of the Jets. I felt like it was turned off during the quieter moments in our viewing. Perhaps if you're able try another cinema with 4DX if you can? Or speak to management about the subpar bass? It may be a genuine issue no one has brought to their attention

    For VR or even gaming in general, I could see the appeal of this. I never felt like I was IN a movie though, so all these effects coming at me and not the character Im watching seems kind of strange. In first person gaming or VR it would be awesome. Or there was movie that came out shot in first person perspective, Hardcore Henry, might benefit from this treatment..

    I saw Top Gun in IMAX and ScreenX (Not 4DX). I must say, the most incredible experience I've ever had, is Top Gun in IMAX. That being said, the ScreenX experience was pretty neat. Well worth the small price increase over a regular cinema. Not just that, but, because of my locaiton (Nearest IMAX is 40 minutes away) ScreenX is a nice substitute, since in general its a better screen so even if the side screens are gimmickey, the overall experience is still better than a regular screen. I also loved it when the whole room lit up. But yea, IMAX was the best. Never really tried 4DX in any capacity.

    I've seen about 10 or so films in this format because I love a good gimmick. For me, a good experience depends more on the filmmaking than the 4DX itself. For films with lots of fluidity and clear motion, the effect is genuinely exciting. Even bad films are fun with 4DX if the implementation feels smooth. My concern with Top Gun is its frantic editing. I can't imagine it would be a good match with the violent direction shifts of the chairs.

    4DX really depends on which movie you watch. When I watched No Way Home and Doctor Strange 2, I think they utilized 4DX well. But movies like Batman, I think are too grounded to enjoy the full experience of 4DX. Can't wait to see Thor 4 in 4DX tho!

    I'm nearby in Mamaroneck. I saw Top Gun in Port Chester Dolby Cinema, which was an excellent presentation. Saw it again at another Dolby Cinema AMC in NJ, presentation was not quite as good, audio levels were too loud, too much front channel, and the picture seemed a bit overcropped and slightly grainy. Goes to show that part of it is theater layout, quality of equipment, and quality of projectionist. Never been to the New Rochelle 4DX but my guess is that there are other 4DX theater which have good bass response and better seating layout. While going digital has definitely improved/dumbed down projection, you will still have theaters or projectionists that don't know what they're doing and screw it up. Only regret is that I didn't see Top Gun in Imax/Laser before Jurassic took away all the theaters. Will have to watch the Imax aspect ratio hopefully on Blu Ray.

    I happened to be in Fort Myers, FL during the holiday and saw Top Gun in ScreenX. I believe that is the ultimate way to watch Top Gun: Maverick, because there was actually an hour worth of film shot exclusively for the format. At least at the Regal cinema I saw it in, it's a bit of a ham-fisted affair: It's a regular rectangular theater, but with semi-reflective sidewalls, and a projector aimed at each. Whenever the planes take to the air, you actually get a 3-screen panorama, which is pretty cool and immersive. The only downside (and similar it seems to your 4DX experience) is that the audio wasn't really up to modern 'premium' standards. I can only imagine how cool this could've been if they'd had IMAX-quality sound with slightly-angled sidewalls that were real screens.
    Thanks for the review of 4DX. I could've seen it in that, and am glad I chose ScreenX instead. Rumble seats are cool, but I can't imagine random, noisy air-blasts in my face being enjoyable.
