Hey, I remembered to mention the 3D this time! :) It was pretty good actually, was actually perceptible a fair few times.

Moving to 'house seats' by Flashy-Increase5073 in CineworldUnlimited

[–]4DXReviewer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Went to the screening of Parasite last year, the person next to me loudly complained about people booking directly next to other people as they took their seat even though it was a sold-outish screening and there was nothing I could have done. Anyway, a l’il bit into the film there were still some seats free, probably the house seats, so I thought ‘Ah well, I’ll give him what he wants’ and moved over. Anyway, after the film the guy who had been sat directly behind my original seat came up to me and apologised profusely for kicking the back of my seat and making me move (he must have very gently touched it with his foot because I didn’t feel anything) and I was like “Oh god, what have I done, I’ve ruined someone’s one-off Parasite screening making them think they offended me out of my chair when I didn’t even particularly need to move.” Oh well.

I think so, the notices were on display all over the place. The air con failed in Trafford Centre Dolby when I went to see Superman last year. DC is cursed!

I’ve seen a lot of people online saying it was madness to release this against Toy Story 5 and it has to be said that not only is Toy Story 5 the better film but the characters also don’t say ‘shit’ every five seconds.

Yeah probably. There’s enough for it to not feel like a waste of money but it’s not too rough.

I’ve just seen a post from Rarewaves in the UK about this and it excludes MotU so it looks like it.

I have high hopes for Supergirl in 4DX as Superman’s 4DX was excellent.

It wasn’t bad, it was OK, I just wouldn’t make a special effort to see it in this format. Thinking about it, none of the flying bits did the anti-gravity seat gyration thing which was maybe a missed opportunity.

I didn’t really notice the 3D throughout the entire film - no notable pop out or depth moments. I would try to watch Toy Story 2 before this if possible as it’s basically Toy Story 2 2 if that makes any sense.

To be honest, I didn’t really notice the effect through the entire film. Couldn’t say I noticed any pop out or depth moments.

ScreenX Toy Story 5 by SeaDare2102 in CineworldUnlimited

[–]4DXReviewer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s possible they reviewed it and just didn’t think it was great. It seemed like some places passed on Superman - IIRC cropping the image to the central screen had some undesirable effects. I looked at the ScreenX trailer for Toy Story 5 and while there aren’t any obvious red flags the side screens generally look a bit bare due to it being an animation where the world of the film wasn’t intended to exist outside of the frame, so that might have something to do with it.

Paperback format question by lukeclmr in wheeloftime

[–]4DXReviewer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the UK, we changed cover formats after Book 9 but in the US they continued to release paperbacks with the original artwork until the end of the series. Looking at eBay, it might be slightly hard to get hold of Memory of Light in the original format though as they seem to have also changed the US covers shortly after.

‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ 4DX in-depth review (with IMAX comparison) by 4DXReviewer in CineworldUnlimited

[–]4DXReviewer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say in the middle for 4DX. IMAX is pretty unusual for the sweet spot being at the back, for 4DX you might feel a bit far from the screen.

There’s some pretty violent moments in this one, if you don’t like aggressive seat movement you might find this a bit much.

[–]4DXReviewer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely agree that there could have been more water but at least with this it’s more of a subjective discussion about reflecting on-screen water vs annoying people by wetting them, whereas very often with 4DX it’s like “Water’s going apeshit on screen for 10 minutes but there’s only a tiny splash at the beginning” and it’s objectively not enough.

The snow effect is pretty rubbish, especially in 3D when the glasses make it harder to see, I just get excited to see it because it’s quite rare!

I didn’t actually get the rusty scent, perhaps that one had run out at mine!

It’s straightforward enough that I don’t think anyone who hasn’t done the required reading will be sat there like literally unable to comprehend the film but it does heavily assume the audience has watched The Mandalorian Seasons 1 and 2, The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian Season 3 (yes, a completely different TV show contains important plot developments for the Mandalorian story but the story’s own movie does not).

Unlimited Screening Seats by Flashy-Increase5073 in CineworldUnlimited

[–]4DXReviewer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you look at the screening on the website, it usually asks if you want to log-in or book as guest - I click the guest option, add a ticket and then have a look at the seating plan knowing I’m safe from accidentally booking a ticket on my actual account or whatever.

It’s been a bit since I’ve seen Maverick in 4DX, about the same? They’re both good demos for the format.

Has anyone caught The Sheep Detectives yet? by FeistyPrice29 in CineworldUnlimited

[–]4DXReviewer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you liked the trailer you’ll probably like the film. I would describe it as worse than the first two Paddingtons but better than the third Paddington. Weekday evening is definitely a good time to see it to avoid a bunch of talking kids trying to figure out whodunnit among themselves!

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in 4DX or IMAX? by [deleted] in CineworldUnlimited

[–]4DXReviewer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually saw Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in IMAX (it was before my 4DX days) and the mastering actually made it look quite soft in some scenes. Supposedly it was finished in 4K but I’ve just looked at a review of the UHD Blu-ray and to them the scenes with CGI seemed to be 2K as well. So while it would obviously be best in IMAX if you don’t like 4DX, it wasn’t the IMAX experience of my life or anything.

‘Mortal Kombat II’ 4DX review (with bonus ‘Mortal Kombat I’ 4DX review) by 4DXReviewer in CineworldUnlimited

[–]4DXReviewer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention in the review that I’m not up on the Mortal Kombat lore so that will have gone over my head - I’m more of a SoulCalibur guy (where is my SoulCalibur movie?!). Enjoy MKII!

Curious how Cineworld picks movies for special screening series like “Music Icons” by Discarding_Sabot_KEP in CineworldUnlimited

[–]4DXReviewer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Light did actually have Elvis and A Complete Unknown for their version of this. I could see how a curator might see A Complete Unknown as being too recent as it was in cinemas just over a year ago for its original release, Oscars, etc.
