The screen width is 1.85. It's common these days for theaters to have 1.85 common-width screens which means most movies will be letterboxed. No masking, so that means you can see the parts of the screen that are letterboxed. **Gets on soap box** Back in my day screens had masking that got wider for scope movies (common-height), not smaller like at home on a TV. **Gets off soap box**
@JunkerDC Жыл бұрын
I was about to complain about the letter boxing too thanks I went out of town and called ahead of time so asked if there would be masking the manger said yea I get there no masking just black bars on the top and bottom I was so mad im not going back there the one in Houston has masking in 4dx but the rear speakers don't work that's why I was looking for a new 4dx theater
@nickfalzone7955 Жыл бұрын
Masking is bad. Alternately, I saw Lion King (new version) in a Dolby theater. LK is 1.85 so there were black bars on sides. I complained and learned that theaters no longer mask with curtains or whatever at least at AMC. HOWEVER - I have an alternate take on this. Yes, masking (and inherent "black" video on sides or top and bottom) is annoying, but it also means that you are going to see the film full-frame - you're literally seeing the edges. I don't know how many times back in the 35mm projection days where they would screw up the aspect ratio, remove top and bottom, sides, etc. In fact, I just saw Maverick in a Dolby theater in NJ and the genius projectionists somehow zoomed in the image and lost a bit of the sides and headroom. How they did this, I have no idea, but I saw the film in another Dolby theater (both 2.35) and it had the proper headroom. So when I see the pillars or letterboxing, I shrug and say at least they're projecting the entire image.

My first experience of 4DX was a movie double-bill, Fast & Furious 6 and 7 in 2015. Two tickets somehow cost less than a tenner which was too good a deal to pass up trying out this new format out. Next movie I watched was Justice League in 2017. It is worth experiencing at least once imo but I would only consider it over other formats including IMAX with Laser (my preferred choice) for certain movies which I think would really benefit from the extra sensory effects. Top Gun: Maverick is one such movie which I think would have been a great experience in pretty much all formats: IMAX, ScreenX, and 4DX. Saw it twice at the cinema, first in IMAX with Laser then on a standard scope screen. Loved it both times. 👍🏻👍🏻
@JollyGiant1213 Жыл бұрын
How do you know if your IMAX theater has laser? Mine in Ontario California sucked because it literally had no bass at all, just LOUD. The screen was nice of course because it was an IMAX filmed movie with some scenes being full screen. So is laser a new thing with IMAX?

My 4DX theater didn't have near the effects you are speaking of. The only wind effect was at the beginning when he was on his motorcycle. We didn't even get it during the sailboat ride! Having been in a plane that was doing aerobatics (when I was much younger), it would have been nice to feel as though I was pulling Gs along with the pilots in this movie. No such luck. I did enjoy the effects of the carrier landings though. Otherwise, the moving chair was more of a distraction. I'm glad I experienced a 4DX movie, especially this one, but I don't think I'd pay the extra to do it again.

I've seen this movie twice now in 4DX and I truly believe the 4DX is the best experience for this movie. After hearing you talk about the bass in your screen, me and the Mrs agree that it must've been your screen with the lackluster bass. Our screen was really loud and had great sound subwoofers. Then again you seemed a lot further back than we were. We always aim to be central and level with the screen. In this case 5-6 rows back (Row E on my second viewing) and it was fantastic. I was also confused by you saying about the seat movement outside of the Jets. I felt like it was turned off during the quieter moments in our viewing. Perhaps if you're able try another cinema with 4DX if you can? Or speak to management about the subpar bass? It may be a genuine issue no one has brought to their attention

My best experience in 4dx was Transformers : The Last Knight, the Bumblebee vs Optimus fight scene in the alien ship in the middle of the ocean near the end is the best experience that I have been in 4DX...the water spraying & wind blowing when the Autobots is fighting with wave of the ocean smashing the alien ship is so immersive, at least for me... Since then no other movie could match the same experience in 4DX.

I saw WW84 and Aquaman in ScreenX when they rereleased them last year. I thought they were enjoyable. It adds something to the immersion to have the images on the sides. Both movies had nice color palettes so maybe that added to it. However, it's much harder to justify the premium cost compared to IMAX and 4DX, because you're just paying to add something to your peripheral vision.. All the seats in my theater had a 'new car smell' so I might've gotten high on those chemical fumes too that put me in a better mood. 😆

There are no 4DX theaters close to me yet but I would like to give them a try. At a cost of 26 bucks though it would have to be a damn good movie for that price. I know that DBOX seats were very pricy when they came out at $15-$16 per seat, I always got them because I wanted the best in the theater, but all of them were removed when they upgraded and installed reclining seats and went to assigned seating. DBOX seats are expensive to buy, I know that they wanted 90k for my theater setup in my home and that was only 2 small rows. I ended up getting some a theater was selling for 5k each that went out of business and managed to get them to work with a controller box I got from a swap.

I've always loved the experience of 4DX and have seen 4 movies in it including Top Gun: Maverick. I have to say the sound was reasonably good in the cinemas here in Australia as there was plenty of bass and clarity throughout. It's not always worth it for every movie but it's definitely worth checking out now and then especially when it's being advertised with a movie like Top Gun: Maverick.
@scobolstudios1780 Жыл бұрын
I'm in Australia too and the screens are decent size, there are only 6 - 8 rows of seats in 4dx in Australia so no matter where you are the screen is big. The sound is quite loud with good bass also which means you don't actually hear the fans at any point in time. I don't know if the movie are turned into 4dx globally or locally, but I have found some are hit and miss with areas they have effects and seats moving. I've seen 32 movies in 4dx and some are good some are bad. Horror is good when they only use it for suspense, any marvel film is good with endgame and no way home being standards. There was one or 2 like the invisible man where it was just over used and didn't work, or where like you said there are footsteps where chairs are moving but as each film comes out from the big studios the better they are understanding the best way to use it. I saw jurassic world dominion last night in 4dx and would highly recommend a movie like that in 4dx.

I saw Top Gun in IMAX and ScreenX (Not 4DX). I must say, the most incredible experience I've ever had, is Top Gun in IMAX. That being said, the ScreenX experience was pretty neat. Well worth the small price increase over a regular cinema. Not just that, but, because of my locaiton (Nearest IMAX is 40 minutes away) ScreenX is a nice substitute, since in general its a better screen so even if the side screens are gimmickey, the overall experience is still better than a regular screen. I also loved it when the whole room lit up. But yea, IMAX was the best. Never really tried 4DX in any capacity.

I've seen about 10 or so films in this format because I love a good gimmick. For me, a good experience depends more on the filmmaking than the 4DX itself. For films with lots of fluidity and clear motion, the effect is genuinely exciting. Even bad films are fun with 4DX if the implementation feels smooth. My concern with Top Gun is its frantic editing. I can't imagine it would be a good match with the violent direction shifts of the chairs.

But movies like Batman, I think are too grounded to enjoy the full experience of 4DX. Can't wait to see Thor 4 in 4DX tho! But that being said, I think 4DX is a better way to watch big movies nowadays because of the unique experience. You can mimic movie watching at your home but mimicking 4DX? No way.

From a musical standpoint people say AMC prime is a next level audiophile experience that nobody knows about. AMC is supposedly not making anymore of them so it's a treat when you get to experience them. All the Speakers are CBT speakers so the imaging is supposed to be quite the experience.

AMC Prime has very good sound. Picture quality used to be inferior to Dolby Cinemas but now they have upgraded to laser so the projection (at least brightness) is equal to Dolby. I think resolution and color depth is not quite as good. Prime also has chair shakers. Overall a good choice if you don't have Dolby Cinema available.

Best film I have seen in a while. Watched in a 4DX cinema and the effects from the seat with it on numatic lifts with wind, heat, water and snow actually falling on you, all in time with the movie editing was the best cinema exprience I have had so far in my life. It was that good.

I'm nearby in Mamaroneck. I saw Top Gun in Port Chester Dolby Cinema, which was an excellent presentation. Saw it again at another Dolby Cinema AMC in NJ, presentation was not quite as good, audio levels were too loud, too much front channel, and the picture seemed a bit overcropped and slightly grainy. Goes to show that part of it is theater layout, quality of equipment, and quality of projectionist. Never been to the New Rochelle 4DX but my guess is that there are other 4DX theater which have good bass response and better seating layout. While going digital has definitely improved/dumbed down projection, you will still have theaters or projectionists that don't know what they're doing and screw it up. Only regret is that I didn't see Top Gun in Imax/Laser before Jurassic took away all the theaters. Will have to watch the Imax aspect ratio hopefully on Blu Ray.

@@HigherQualityUploads That's not really true. The side screens are only active when necessary and the movie has custom made content to fill both sides. Otherwise they stay off. The difference in what you are able to see vs. a regular release can be dramatic. See the screen x trailer for Top Gun for instance and compare it to the regular trailer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qL18f9N5zriVeJc.html In one cockpit scene the regular theatrical image crops off at his helmet. Screen X goes beyond so you can see behind his entire seat.

@@opal817 For cockpit scenes in the jets, Screen X is ideal, but it really damages the viewing experience for the dramatic portions of the film. IMO Screen X is more of a video game or theme park style viewing - it's really not great for 2 hour plus action/dramas.

Appreciate the fair and detailed 4dx review. I've seen 5 movies in 4dx and left disappointed every time even from the optimal seating I could get. maybe im 2 old and my health probs make all these effects annoying and ultimately take me out of the films I've seen. I sunk a fortune into my home theater and I wouldn't spend a dime to add any of these effects to it. it's okay 4 thise amusement park rides. Weak bass and cinemascope on a 16.9 screen 4 Top Gun 4 27 dollars ain't no way to experience this movie! you can give me 27 bucks n I'll kick your seat, blow air on you, and spit my drink on ya - jus sayin😏

I saw it at an AMC Dolby Cinema and it seems like it is the best balance between Imax and 4DX. The screen in my theater was much bigger than the 4DX screen in your theater, and the audio of Dolby Cinema is incredible. Another plus of Dolby CInema is that it has chat vibration. It doesn't have all the other effects, but it seems kind of excessive.

I happened to be in Fort Myers, FL during the holiday and saw Top Gun in ScreenX. I believe that is the ultimate way to watch Top Gun: Maverick, because there was actually an hour worth of film shot exclusively for the format. At least at the Regal cinema I saw it in, it's a bit of a ham-fisted affair: It's a regular rectangular theater, but with semi-reflective sidewalls, and a projector aimed at each. Whenever the planes take to the air, you actually get a 3-screen panorama, which is pretty cool and immersive. The only downside (and similar it seems to your 4DX experience) is that the audio wasn't really up to modern 'premium' standards. I can only imagine how cool this could've been if they'd had IMAX-quality sound with slightly-angled sidewalls that were real screens. Thanks for the review of 4DX. I could've seen it in that, and am glad I chose ScreenX instead. Rumble seats are cool, but I can't imagine random, noisy air-blasts in my face being enjoyable.
