The first totally immersive movie theater is in Kinepolis Madrid Ciudad de la Imagen... Do you dare?
If you are one of those who believe that it is better to watch a movie at home, lying comfortably on the sofa and wrapped in a blanket, than going to the cinema, it is because you still do not know the cinema in 4DX . for now, Kinepolis Madrid Image City is the the only room in the city and in Spain where you can experience this immersive experience.
The 4DX technology combines the atmospheric effects of wind, rain, noise, lightning, snow, fog, odors, and light with the movement of the seats , equipped with servomotors, the same as some theme parks, which allow multidirectional movements and with different speeds.
In addition to going sideways or forwards and backwards, the seat vibrates, hits you in the back and blasts you with gentle bursts of air and water , but don't worry, you won't need an umbrella, it's about very fine drops; still, you have a button on your seat to deactivate that effect.
Is new way of watching movies it's a bit like a amusement park within a movie . Or, even better, it's like becoming the protagonist of the story, being part of the action, live the seventh art in the 4 dimensions, watch a movie with all your senses awake.
You will feel the vertigo when falling into the void from a skyscraper, the discomfort of storms, the smell of explosions, the hiss of bullets passing by your side, the tingling in your body when participating in a car race, you will float in the ocean , you will notice the wind in your hair... Everything that happens on the screen is in perfect synchronicity with what you experience from your seat and everything happens suddenly. There are up to 20 effects to recreate an entire multi-sensory experience!
In addition to these individual impressions, the room has some large side fans to simulate blizzards and snow and fog cannons that flood the screen ; also has sound effects to simulate lightning and flashes.
It is clear that this type of technology - which allows you to isolate yourself from the outside, involving you more in the plot - is ideal for watching action, animation, horror and fantasy movies.
In fact, the first 4DX cinema in Madrid and Spain, which has 160 seats , premiered with Star Wars: The Last Jedi and currently it is possible to see also Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle . Soon they will also project in 4DX The Maze Runner: The Death Cure. And among the most interesting premieres of the year, which are worth discovering through this new dimension, are undoubtedly Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom either Pacific Rim: Insurrection.
We movie buffs are already fantasizing about being able to get into the skin of terminator batman , Rick Deckard ( blade runner ) or Reagan ( The Exorcist ), just to mention some of the classics of the genres mentioned above. So we hope that sooner or later we can also see some rerun in 4D version.
You dare?
