This is likely because it reminded me of being on a theme park ride, and the 105-minute runtime was just short enough that I wasn't tired of feeling bumped around or damp and chilly. The film itself, "The Jungle Book," was largely responsible for my overall enjoyment of 4DX. Either the film didn't call for it, or the effect was nullified by the popcorn and hot dog my seat neighbor was enjoying (with some difficulty, as noted above).
The puffs of smoke evaporated pretty quickly, leaving no lasting effect for the rest of the scene.Īt no point during "The Jungle Book" did I notice scents coming from the seats. The fog was a little less successful, with a few spurts visible at the front of the theater during a spooky swamp scene.

Thankfully, we had opted out of movie snacks that day. This was likely one of those "intense scenes" the warning sign was referring to. The kids in the theater were particularly delighted, and my fiancé was excited right along with them, saying "This is awesome!" over and over.Ī couple next to us, who settled into their seats late with huge sodas, popcorn, and hot dogs, were merely concerned about how they were supposed to eat food in their jostling seats. Nearly everyone in the theater either yelped or laughed, looking around at each other with a "Whaaaaaat?!" expression. A crazy car chase was happening on screen, and our seat began jumping and vibrating aggressively. The first thing I noticed was a button for "Water On" or "Water Off."

The seats are clustered in sets of four, each with their own "water off" button. You still have to make your way down rows to get to the seats in the center.
The seats are connected to each other in groups of four, but upon first look the theater layout looks totally normal. After the lights were turned down, we spotted several confused moviegoers wandering around in the dark, disrupting those nearby as they tried to figure out where to go. There is assigned seating, which means fellow patrons might be the ones kicking out seat thieves, but if a movie isn't sold out the would-be vagrants would merely have to wait until the movie started to find open spots.Īssigned seating means arriving early and locating your seat is essential. The need for 3D glasses might hinder some movie-hoppers, but people may have theoretically held onto theirs from past movies. Theater-hopping is a popular form a movie theft, and there were no extra employee standing outside to make sure only those with the $28 ticket came inside. It often indicates a user profile.Ī glaring hole in Regal's plan for the 4DX theater was the lack of additional security at the entrance.
