Oh my goodness, THANK YOU, this was so helpful. I find it frustrating how difficult it is to wade through marketing just trying to find out what the hell something actually, findamentally is. Your video is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I agree with your assessment. I thought it was distracting. The movie I saw just had some extra atmospheric / background stuff and it came on and off at certain points of the movie. So when it changed either on or off, it was distracting

Yup it was the same way with Spider-Man no way home. I feel like if you’re gonna do computer generated side screens, you gotta at least commit to it for the entire movie. It’s not like imax where it’s literally different cameras. If it’s all done on the computer anyway I don’t see why they can’t have it expand for the entire movie.

That sounds so fun! If I had to guess it’ll be similar to no way home where only part of the movie utilizes all 3 screens but idk that’s just a random guess. Thanks for the support!

I agree, it’s a gimmick more than anything. Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if the directors don’t even approve of having a screen x version of their film in the first place.

screen x is worth when you sitting at behind rather than front , because you cant watch the left and right side

@johnjoseph6874 Ай бұрын

I feel that’d be worse. The left and right screen are just supposed to fill in your peripheral vision, to make you feel more immersed. Your not supposed to be watching the left or right screen as there’s nothing happening in those screens. The only screen that should be payed attention to is the middle screen where all the stuff is happening. Because of this, I think the best place is either in the middle of the theater or more in front of the

Thank you so much! Glad this poorly edited video was of some help. I haven’t gotten the chance to try out 4dx unfortunately. We don’t have any theaters with 4dx auditoriums near us and honestly I don’t know a ton about the format. If I were to try it, it would be a spur of the moment type thing while traveling.

Im trying to find out If Godzilla Minus One is worth seeing in Screen X, it seem like a movie that could take good advantage of the extra space, but even in your video you can tell the side screens look like crap, and seem more distracting than anything (maybe its different when your actually there idk...). But from my limited experience, you can never go wrong with IMAX.

I wonder if it's improved since your video from a year ago. I might go check out dune this afternoon cuz I just learned about this. It's a great concept but I have to agree with you. It would be nice if it was shot in a different format for something like this and why isn't it one screen either lol they can figure that out. Especially the seams they could get rid of those that would probably help. Maybe this is experimental and in the future it's going to change and get better or they'll have it different version of it that makes it a better experience. I think it's an alternative to IMAX and they're just trying to be as immersive as possible. Keep in mind movie theaters are losing money because they're not doing anything groundbreaking and with the way home theater setups are at home with the TVs and the sound systems that are available to us people are choosing to stay home rather than to go to movie theaters.

Your right, it’s basically a ultra wide monitor but for movies. And I’m with you, IMAX is easily the best premium format in my opinion.
