Batman v. Superman will play in seat-shaking 4D in New York City

The first two 4DX theaters will open in Manhattan in March and April

Batman v. Superman has always promised ground-shaking action, but theatergoers in New York City will have the opportunity to really feel it thanks to 4D cinema. The upcoming superhero flick will show at NYC's first ever 4DX theaters, with the technology providing environmental effects synced with the movie, including "motion-activated seats, wind, fog, rain, lightning, vibration, snow, and scents." Batman v. Superman will be the first film to show at the new 4DX-enabled screens at Regal Cinemas' Union Square location on March 25th (and Regal Cinemas' E-Walk 13 on April 28th), but other films will follow.

The technology is provided by South Korean company CJ 4DPlex, one of two firms engaged in a small-scale format war over the future of 4D cinema. CJ 4DPlex calls its version 4DX, while US rivals MediaMation employs what it calls MX4D. According to The Verge's Sam Byford, who's tried them both, there's a slight difference between the two — "I find MX4D tends to prod you in the butt while 4DX goes for the back" — but the experience is mostly the same.

The New York City theaters won't be the first 4DX screens in the US, with the technology first launching at Regal Cinemas' LA Live Stadium 14 in June 2014. CJ 4DPlex boasts that following the introduction of 4DX at Stadium 14, the theater tripled its total revenue the next year, with attendance doubling over the same period. The company then launched its second 4DX screen near Chicago last year, and says it has nearly 30,000 4DX seats worldwide in 228 theaters and 37 countries.

"We are extremely excited to bring this immersive cinematic experience to New Yorkers," Said CJ 4DPlex's CEO Byung-hwan Choi. "Launching in New York City is a milestone in 4DX’s expansion within the United States. From the success we’ve seen at the box office and from the overwhelmingly positive response we’ve received from audiences at LA Live, we have no doubt that these two new 4DX theaters will soon become two of the hottest entertainment spots in the city."

Very interesting....how much tho? Lol
 
I don't need my seat to move. That muppet babies 4d experience at one of those theme parks was pretty cool though. The mist was nice for that hot Florida weather.
 
filmmakers dont make movies with 4d in mind like they do for the amusement park rides

its just a cheap gimmick that distracts from the movie and costs extra money

early screening review, spoilers were supposedly cut off from this review


First off, the screening itself was packed. I mean packed. I thought Star Wars was nuts, this took this to the next level. At least the NDAs weren't as bad. Just to expand on that a bit, the way Disney handled TFA's secrecy, which I'm sure fans approved of, was a nightmare to deal with honestly. Really cool to see so many people out to see Batman and Superman in a live action movie on big screen.

I went in with a mix of hype/anticipation and a bit of dread . I loved Watchmen, while I thought MoS was enjoyable it was a mess in the last half.

BvS is pretty dark, but there's humor here and there, way more then say MoS or Watchmen.

Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman was pure awesome and dark. You can see he's traumatized by the events in the past, and he has some fantastic lines in general. Nobody should really be surprised that he was good with the role considering he's a solid actor, but I thought he was great. In combat he's pretty much everything everyone would hope for from a film with Batman. One comment on the latest BvS trailer said he fought like the Arkham video games from a scene they showed. That's a good comparison. He's incredible in fights. Also the way Snyder records him in action, you can actually see him fighting unlike the Nolan films, which I'd imagine would make many people happy. He also gets a chance to use his detective skills, do not worry.

Also his relationship with Irons, who plays Alfred, is just wonderful in general. Irons was exceptional in the role (Its Jeremy Irons for christ's sake, of course he nailed the role) gets some witty lines and also gets pretty emotional. He didn't get a lot of screentime, just enough to be effective. Always passing advice to Batman.

Now we turn to Cavill. He didn't blow me away in MoS but in this film, weirdly I feel like he gets more to work with, even with less screentime. It was the first time Superman actually feels like he's a character who deals with many issues to me. His relationship with Lois (played by Amy Adams) deserves mention here, even if not a lot of screentime.

Cavil and his interactions with Affleck, especially the fights, are truly something to behold. Definitely worth the price of a ticket in my opinion. I could swear some of the scenes are probably something straight out of a dark graphic novel.

Who got more screentime? Batman or Superman? I'd say it was about equal, but it certainly did feel like Batman might have gotten slightly bit more, but who knows. I didn't bring a stop watch with me.

Eisenberg chosen as Luthor was perfect honestly to me. I know there's a ton of concern over it, but he made it work. He's also hilarious with a dark sort of humor, but he's a very scary person in general.

Also, Wonder Woman, hell yes. Again, lots of concern about Gadot on the internet and in the industry (I heard a lot), but she did well. For such little screentime, she was able to show that her character was diverse and interesting. Definitely left me looking forward to the Wonder Woman movie. She gets pissed off don't worry heh.


Fishburne, Lane, and Hunter were okay, but I think the main problem was they didn't get enough to do, so I felt nothing about them.

How's the world in the movies? Gotham City is definitely Gotham City. Obviously you don't see it for the whole film. Metropolis is still littered with destruction from MoS, so I'm glad they showed that instead of ignoring it. Whether the whole destruction angle felt thrown in at the last minute, I wouldn't know because it felt organic for Wayne to be pissed about it. Even gave you a 9/11 vibe.

Oh man, the soundtrack is absolutely wonderful. Properly dark. Batman's theme especially felt super super super super dark almost to the point of repetition. MoS's theme is still there for Superman with a hint of more. Even Luthor had his own freaking soundtrack. A hint of playfulness and amusement. This part I thoroughly enjoyed. The sound design here is just fantastic, but will be mostly ignored sadly. Not a lot of people appreciate it in general.

Lots of CGI destruction porn there, but definitely feels sort of toned down till the last act. The visuals are great overall for me, but this is rather opinion based.

I feel that Snyder did learn from his mistakes and the writing/dialogue definitely feels a lot better then MoS. There are issues though (I'll address these in a different post). Juggling the characters is extremely difficult, especially for a film like this. I'm rather amazed Snyder even handled it alright. The film gets very frantic (especially towards the end), so to me the long running time flew by really quickly, but there's a few scenes they lets you breath.

Definitely somewhere above a B+. I'll settle on a final grade in a bit. Gave me pure joy to see the trinity on screen.

MoS: B-, AoU: B-, Jurassic World: B, Star Wars: A

^ Sounds good to me.

I don't think of any of us doubted Batfleck. I'm glad to hear he killed it; looking forward to his solo film.

There were definitely plenty of doubts when it was first announced, likely many Daredevil flashbacks occurred :lol:

That's reassuring. Who wrote this review?
 
boxofficeZ that is supposedly a pretty reliable source from other forums

Also, I know the forum KanyeToThe has MrBruceWayne who is supposedly "in" the industry has seen it and liked it: http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?topic=58856.56286


As usual though, take it with a grain of salt for... with that said, do keep in mind that the film is about 2 weeks away and many reviewers has seen it with embargo on their reviews so I think more and more "reviews" are coming out sooner than later
 
I don't care about these reviews. I'm going to watch the movie and come up with my own opinion. My only concern is Lex. If the score during Lex's scenes is "playfulness and amusement" then that doesn't give me any confidence.
