In Korea, 3D just doesn’t cut it. By adding an extra dimension to the epic Avatar 4D movieplexes “use more than 30 effects during the 3D film’s 162 minute run, including moving seats, smells of explosives, sprinkling water, laser lights and wind.” If you’ve experienced Shrek 4D at Disney then you probably have an idea of what Avatar in 4D would be like. In fact, Tom Oh of 20th Century Fox Korea refers to Avatar in 4D as a “ride” and calls the Korean 4D plex “the first in the world that fully offers five-sense experiences with a movie title.” Avatar in IMAX 3D was definitely enough of a trip for me. I feel like the addition of moving seats and shots of water to the face would just distract me (not further immerse me) from Pandora and its spectacular inhabitants. What say you?
