In most theaters you feel a rumble in the seats because the sound is too loud, but in 4DX the seats vibrate without blowing out your eardrums.įor pricing, TCL Chinese Theatres has a set pricing of $29 for MX4D in Digital 3D with no senior or child pricing available for any show time. Beginning with Thanos’ attack on the Avengers facility all of the way through to Iron Man winning the battle the seats were moving with the action. The motion during the last half of the movie was intense. I could hear something being blown/sprayed, but it was a minute or two before I could smell the pine scent. There is minimal scent in 4DX, and I only noticed it when we see Tony Stark at his cabin by the lake. There is more strobing in the 4DX than I noticed in MX4D leading me to believe that MX4D doesn’t have any. This gives you time to get out if you find you can’t handle it. There isn’t a rain effect for the 4DX, and they don’t have a warning image displayed on the screen, but they do show a sort of trailer with full effects before the regular trailers for upcoming movie releases finish. These can be very loud if the scene of the movie you’re watching is quiet. Wind effects come from large fans mounted along the right and left sides of the theater. It has the same “punching” and leg motion effect as MX4D. The water effect sprays from the back of the seat in front of you (I don’t know how the effect works for the seats in the front row.) The spray was pretty intense which required me to wipe the water off of my 3D glasses almost every time. There is a control on the right arm rest to turn off the water effect for your seat. For example, when the camera swings up during the funeral scene the seats gently swing up along with the camera’s movement. The seats for 4DX actually move tilting up and down and tilting a bit to the right and left. 4DX has sets of 4 seats which are connected together. I saw Avengers : Endgame in 4DX at the first showing on a Tuesday at the Regal Cinemas at LA Live. There is now a 4DX theater at the CGV Cinemas in Buena Park, which I’m hoping to check out in the next few months as it is a bit cheaper than the Regal 4DX. Also, there are wheelchair spaces with companion seats, but there are no seats with lap belts which the 4DX at the Regal LA Live does have for those who need it (at least they had a few seats with lap belts in December 2016-I didn’t verify these seats this time.)Īt the time of my initial review of 4DX there was only one theater in Los Angeles or Orange County to have 4DX which is at the Regal Cinemas at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles. Something to note is the onscreen warning about the motion effects of MX4D and the 40” minimum height requirement. The motion for MX4D is mostly “punches” and vibrations of the seats with something to smack your legs for the instances when a character is having their legs swept during a fight sequence. It doesn’t rain on you during the entire scene out in the rain or you would get soaking wet. The rain effect is enough that I and a few others covered our popcorn, but not enough to soak you. In the scene where Hawkeye/Ronin is in Tokyo and it’s raining at the end of the sequence. There was limited scents, but I noticed the metallic, burning metal smell more than any other scent (it was almost unbearable during Captain Marvel). It may also spray a bit of water, but if it did it was so minimal that I don’t recall it happening. I noticed that the wind bursts appear to come from the armrest, near the cup holders. This was my second experience seeing a film in MX4D the first was for Captain Marvel. I saw Avengers : Endgame in in Digital 3D in the MX4D theater at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood at an 8am show time. I saw the first shows of the morning for each showing, and both where in 3D. Two years ago I wrote a review for comparing 4DX and DBox premium theater options available at that time. ** Spoiler Warning: this review is based on viewings of Avengers : Endgame and contains spoilers** Seat back in MX4D theater at TCL Chinese Theatres MX4D or 4DX – Comparison and Review by Veronica Nunez
