4DX In A Nutshell ...

... too much butt stuff!

Eine Kleine More Detail

+++ elevated platform for feet.  This was my biggest complaint with D-Box.  With the platform, the viewer gets a very good sense of immersion for scenes with graceful chair movement
+ wind effects provide some nice complementary immersion as well

--- sharp, jarring seat movement during action/fight scenes makes viewer lose focus on the screen ; turns the viewer into another level of shaky-cam!
--- air jets at the back of the viewer's head do nothing for the experience ... may be effective in a creature feature where the creature is literally breathing down someone's neck ... #properuseofliterally
- seat rather hard, uncomfortable after an hour or so, assume it's necessary to cover up the machinery required for the butt stuff
- rain effects lame - simply arbitrary spritzes of water ... not that I'd *want* to be drenched during a rain scene, but that would be more immersive than "hey, rain!  we'll spritz you with water at random times!"
--- snow effects lamer ... just some additional snow-like confetti that was dropped in front of the screen ... perhaps the intent was to have the confetti blown across the audience ... but whoop-de-freaking-doo ...



-tak! thbbft!
