![]() The smart way to install DBox would be to put the seats in a row across the middle of the auditorium, and put an aisle behind those seats. I can't imagine sitting through that crap for a whole movie. We sat in the back row of a 3-row block of seats, and the people's heads moving and weaving in front of me about drove me bananas, and that was just during a couple of trailers. I agree wholeheartedly, and my entire D-Box experience was a convention demo. Riddick farts, your seat will vibrate, somebody punching someone else in the face, your seat will make some random kick.Ĭonclusion: D-BOX will make your movie experience a total suckfest In an effort to give the customer "value" for the large amounts of extra bucks he/she paid for this experience, every action on screen will yield some kind of stupid movement of your seat. In addition to that, if you have long legs, like I do, you will have your feet on the ground most of the time, which negatively affects your experience even further. ![]() But a movie isn't a simulation, it's a story in picture and sound, usually with many different camera angles. But in a motion simulator (think of Star Tours), the motions are there to simulate the vehicle you're in. The whole thing is being sold as some kind of motion simulator experience. The whole thing feels very artificial, especially the vibrations, it all feels a bit like the force feedback of a cheap game controller.Īnd then the biggest flaw of all: the motions and vibrations often are just stupid gimmicks that defy all sense of realism. Then there is the realism of the movements of those chairs. I guess they were placed there, because having a bunch of shaking people in front of you will be rather distracting. The first problem isn't really a D-BOX flaw, but those expensive premium semi-massage seats were installed way back in the theater, which negates the effect of the massive screen and the "added immersion" that D-BOX promises. Quite the opposite, it's a distracting fad. It looks like I didn't miss much, because I still don't like it. My first one was about two years back and I didn't like it back then. Since this movie couldn't benefit from all the important gizmos in the room, I decided to give D-BOX another shot. I've recently seen Riddick in this theater, which besides being a generally stupid movie, also doesn't have an Atmos soundtrack and is just a lousy 2K release. Their premium XD-branded theater features the whole shebang: a respectable Dolby Atmos install, huge (unfortunately) silver scope screen (but no masking), dual (for 3D) 4K projectors and. Ī whole new multiplex opened in the vicinity of my home. I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, but since D-BOX is a Digital technology, I suppose it will fit.
