Were you impressed by Avatar in all its overhyped 3D glory? Well, forget that! Avatar has gone 4D. ?
There is one catch, though: the 4D "version" of Avatar is currently only playing at a single CJ-CGV theater in South Korea.
According to Han Sunhee of Variety, the 4D screening uses over 30 "special effects" during the 3D film`s 162 minute run, including moving seats, smells of explosives, sprinkling water, laser lights and fan-powered wind.
"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," CJ-CGV spokesperson Kim Daehee told Variety.
Meanwhile, Vladislav Savov of Engadget noted that the $15.80 4D experience thoroughly stimulated all five senses and was sure to keep the audience wide awake during the screening.
"Sure, it`s a gimmick and takes a loose interpretation of what the word dimension means, but at least it`s unlikely you`ll fall asleep during the movie, as some of us may or may not have done while watching the 3D screening," wrote Savov.
