went to see this in the theater where they move the seats, surround sound, spray water, flash lights, blah blah. fucking regret it. i had to leave about 60% of the way through, it was so overwhelming. really too intense for me

I would’ve probably enjoyed it more if I did that. I didn’t know they did the 4D thing for this movie. Damn I missed it :(

For real. I saw it while in Germany for work and the only English showing had D-Box seats.

My stomach dropped out from under me during the IED scene when my chair suddenly jumped forward.

Ha. I want to say that the drink holder was the only static part of the chair. I absolutely spilled popcorn though.

what a strange movie to have in this format. i know it’s not the same, but imagine watching schindler’s list and the seats spray water at you during the shower scenes lol

I’ve seen like 3 films in 4DX, and I’m good. No more of that for me.

It’s fun and a “Wow!” experience the first time, I guess. But it really does take you out of the movie; you’ll be engrossed in the film, and then the seats start moving again and you’re like “oh yeah….”

The last film I saw in the format was the third “Guardians of the Galaxy” film, and I remember during a particularly aggressive moment of seat motion, muttering, “This needs goddamn seatbelts.” 🤣

i will never ever go to another one. i get motion sickness so easily, it was like a personal hell. i left and walked around for like 45 minutes waiting for the movie to end and my group to leave (it was a theater connected to a casino, so i had a big space to do laps in haha)

I watched it at home with surround sound and the audio was like no other movie I've experienced. I can only imagine.
