SEOUL -- If the 3D "Avatar" is not enough, how about 4D? The 4D screening uses more than 30 effects during the 3D film's 162 minute run, including moving seats, smells of explosives, sprinkling water, laser lights and wind. Despite the much higher $15.80 ticket price (an average ticket costs $6.90), screenings are regularly sold out. "We (started to) prepared the 'Avatar' 4D ride last summer," says Tom Oh, prexy of 20th Century Fox Korea. But 4D isn't new to Koreans. The nation's leading multiplex chain, CJ-CGV, began 4D shows last year in one 88-seat theater, with"Journey to the Center of the Earth." But with the success of "Avatar," CJ-CGV opened three more "4D plexes." Ten films have been shown with 4D effects designed by CJ-CGV's 4D programmer over the last year. "There is no 4D theater like ours around the world. CGV's 4D plex is the first in the world that fully offers five-sense experiences with a movie title," says Kim Daehee, publicity manager of CJ-CGV. Exhib has more 4D titles on tap, including the upcoming "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief." Hoping to cash in, animation and VFX shingle Wonderworld Studio has announced that it has launched a unit specializing in the 4D experience. A Korea-U.S. joint venture with the L.A.-based Animation Picture Co., company plans to complete 10 4D ride films this year. Source ----- WTF, average ticket price is $6.90, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
4D is basicly 3D but with the extra effects that you are there? with all the smell and moving aorund and shizz? wow that sounds pretty awesome but wouldnt be so good for those who have bad heart conditions
$15.80 for 4D only?!!! wtf that was my price for 3D!!!!! i might go crazy if i watch it in 4D for 2+ hr XD
actually it isnt 4d at all ....its just 3d but with realistic effects .... xD ... and you only get a little but wet ...cause its just a spray of little bits of water but mainly wind ... plus there isnt many water scenes in avatar ... soo ....... i think main one would be gusts of wind ....,.... erm any way ... errr yeah its not really 4d .. 4d is actually soo much more complex and even after watching loads of vids of it i still dont get it ... its a like a shape within the shape that creates the shape that we see because 4d is invisible to the human eye ... or something like that any way ... xD
oh my god!! i so want to watch it!! i paid like £10 to watch it in 3D here!! but i want to watch it again because the effects were so good!
good movie. if they make you strap on a seat belt and make the seats go upside down and stuff then thatd be great
what IS 4D?? avatar is so good! the animation is beautiful. i saw it in 3d... i'd like to know what the 4d is all about
WOW. O_O There 4D ticket prices.. are cheaper than my 3D ones. LOL. Would so go see it if I could. :(
