Is it like ”Sensurround”? But it sounds like someone with four diagnoses of…something…

Right?

Sorta sounds scary!

John Waters Polyester was filmed in Odorama, but I avoided going to the theaters that were showing it that way. A friend who went to see it told me that he declined to scratch the card when he saw there was going to be an unpleasant odor, but everyone else around him scratched theirs, and so the smell permeated the theater, whether he liked it or not.

I still do not want to smell a movie. Fragrances are very personal, and what appeals to one person can be abhorrent to someone else.

If the seats move or vibrate, I would be fine with that and could enjoy it.

When I was about 5 years old, my mother took me to see A Tale of Two Cities, which I found very disturbing because of the scenes with guillotines, especially at that age. Then, during one of the riot scenes of the movie, the theater caught on fire (from the popcorn machine), and people panicked and ran out the emergency exits into some back alleys, with me along with them. I thought that this was part of the movie, and I had nightmares about it for years afterwards.

As I got older, I could handle more realism in movies and on stage, but I remained very sensitive to it.

I went to see Ride The Wild Surf at a drive-in when it was first released, and when the first wave seem to come out from the screen, raindrops fell on the windshield and really startled me. That was my favorite special effect for a movie.

In my opinion films which are made with fancy effects are generally not very good movies. The makers seem to concentrate on the technolgy and effects rather than the quality of the plot and writing. So I'd take 2D any day.

I agree with everyone. Seems like unnecessary hype?

Many years ago we went to something like that ... it was a short thing Polar Express at the zoo in Central Park. It did things like blow cold air on your feet on the glacier scenes and wafted pine scent in the theater when they were going through the pine forest. It was an experience, but very little to do with how I view movies...I saw it as another form of entertainment.

I saw TopGun Maverick in 4DX. It was amazing!!

Minor update: I have a friend at work who likes to see a lot of movies, and we caught up on Friday. I commented that we decided against doing 4dx on Spider-Man. He said that's good, because 60% of the people that saw Spider-Man 4dx threw up. Ha! Whew. I get motion sick in an elevator, so that would not have been for me

I don't even go to the IMAX shows. I get motion sick watching that preshow advertisement with the popcorn rollercoaster. I wouldn't like to smell anything either. When my son and I went to see Oppenheimer, some guy sat right next to me and had a ton of cologne on. I kept wondering why he bought a seat right next to us. When I bought my tickets all the seats were empty in that row. When we got to the theater, there was a group to the left of us and then this one guy next to me with four or five open seats on the other side of him. Anyway, he made me hack and cough throughout the movie with his stinky perfume.

Sorry that happened. Sucks
