Hoy se celebra la apertura oficial del primer cine 4DX del país en Bonifacio High Street y proyectará The Amazing Spider-Man 2 como película inaugural. El cine 4DX no solo ofrece películas mediante imágenes y sonido como los cines tradicionales, sino que también incorpora movimiento, aromas, niebla, viento y más.

4DX se introdujo comercialmente en 2009 y es propiedad de CJ 4DPLEX, con sede en Corea del Sur. Es una tecnología cinematográfica que busca estimular todos los sentidos de los espectadores mientras ven la película, haciendo que sus experiencias sean lo más inmersivas posible.

Los elementos dentro de un cine 4DX incluyen:

Movimiento y vibración del asiento
Chorros de aire o agua
Neblina
Viento
Iluminación estroboscópica
Niebla o humo
Vapores aromáticos de una colección de 1000 aromas (probablemente desde el olor de flores hasta el hedor de basura, según la escena)
Burbujas

Al mes pasado, había 21 países que contaban con esta tecnología para cines, y Filipinas se suma a la lista. Se inaugura oficialmente hoy en el edificio Central Square, Bonifacio High Street, y allí se pueden comprar boletos anticipados. Si te preguntas cuánto cuesta un boleto 4DX, es un poco más caro que el IMAX, a Php450 cada uno. Para ver el programa completo de proyecciones, dirígete al sitio web de SureSeats del Ayala Mall.

Do you guys still do social bookmarking for your website? Some
friends say to stop with that anymore
Bookmarked your site, I have to keep up with regular posts!

Good info. Lucky me I discovered your website
by accident (stumbleupon). I’ve saved as a favorite for later!

HCG will definitely not cause weight loss single-handedly.
Both Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba have recently
been revealed to have cellulite: Kardashian by photographic evidence and Alba by her
own admission. Both are guaranteed to bring your hairs color back to life and do away with those
unsightly grays.

WOW just what I was looking for. Came here by searching for
best probiotic supplements

It’s very effortless to find out any matter on net ass compared to
textbooks, as I found this article at this web site.

An important key note is that the characters all admit their wrongs but sometimes’t apparently get past
them. In this crazy thought, just weeks after voices are derived
from Marvel who showed how little we were holding happy while using treatment in some of the latest video gaming, that they had
had starring Marvel heroes. Thank God we now have
an intelligent President who takes time to gather information before he runs
up to the nearest camera and grandstands, or simply sit in dumb silence
without the capability to understand what actually
transpired.

Well me and my son tried this out last May 11. In my opinion, I was not that excited with it though my kid enjoyed it and wanted to go back.

Movie: Amazing Spiderman 2
My points:
*strobe lights bothers the movie (you will be looking around)
*real smokes sometimes block or distort the screen and also even if the scene is change, still there are smoke around (as my bro suggest, there should be an exhaust fan)
*swish sound due to high pressure air which destroys the sound
*its just an ordinary 3d glass movie unlike imax
*not comfortable seat for a long movie (i usually sit an indian seat)

IMAX will be kinda obsolete because of this… The first and last time I have watched an IMAX movie was Superman Returns. I wasn’t impressed as most parts of the film isn’t in 3D and a waste of trying to fit my glasses into the shutter lens. The quality is barely noticable and you will find yourself leaning back as you can’t see the whole screen because it’s too big and too close to everyone.

I’d love to give 4DX a try. I did like the Shrek 4D (but everyone would agree that the Transformers ride is infinitely better). However, it’s difficult to make a movie a ride and most people won’t last more than 15mins. At least 4DX would be a good compromise.

Plus, movies are cheaper here compared to developed countries (they are trying to compete with piracy) because in other countries, AAA 3D only titles can cost you up to $25 (PHP1.1k) and we think this is a ridiculous price for a movie. Hopefully, prices for movies stay low

Superman Returns was just one of the few movies that has 10 to 15 mins 3D parts only (same with Harry Potter). You should first read the description before going to the movies first. Also, maybe you find yourself leaning back is because you were seating on the lower front of the theater.
