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

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."

Smells?

How can the movie theater product smells from the movie? What technology it uses, how does it work?

I hope we get this tech on all desktop computers. Imagine farts over the internet.

Seat motion?

They disperse LSD as a fine mist into the theater and then you start smelling the colors on the screen.

If you plan on going to see Iron Man 3 in Japan, remember to look under your seat to disable the robotic tentacles.

There's a theater at the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio that does this with a little 30-minute show about Texas. I took my kids to it. The 3-D gave me a headache. And there was a part where a big bull snorts and it sprays a bit of water in your face, which was just gross and off-putting. And the smells all smelled like artificial scents out of a Glade air freshener (which is more or less what they are). And the hallway outside of the theater stunk from leftover artificial smells. And despite the advertisement that it would be "4-D," there was no actual time travel, except for shifting me forward in time about 30 minutes so that I was about 30 minutes and about $30 poorer. And get off my lawn.

LSD takes 90 minutes to kick in. I realize it was a joke, but... still.

They do it before the adverts
