Iron Man 3 To Debut As a 4DX Film In Japan

Posted by timothy on from the wait-for-it-to-hit-the-basement dept.

adeelarshad82 writes "Marvel's Iron Man 3 will debut in select Japanese theaters later this month employing the 4DX system for the first time. Developed by South Korea's largest movie chain operator, the CJ Group, 4DX-equipped theaters deliver smells, seat motions, and additional effects such as strobe lights and fog, all in sync with events as they appear on the screen. Beyond South Korea, this full immersion approach to cinema is already in operation in countries such as Israel, Mexico, Brazil, and China."

    So there's that or a theater by me lets you place an order off a menu and you get a seat and table and then they bring the food out to you. I'd rather have that than fog and strobe lights in my face.

    More gimmicks equals more expensive ticket prices. Yep, we'll see this happen in the US for sure.
