A welcomed addition to the way moviegoers can experience Disney's Dumbo and a few other premium movies, is the teenaged 4Dx technology. South Korean tech group, CJ 4DPlex, presented this augmented reality theater experience in 2009 with the release of Journey to the Center of the Earth in Seoul.
21 multisensory customizable cinematic effects allow for viewers to feel the wind in their hair as Dumbo soars to new heights, the mist of his first bath, the rumble of Casey Junior, and many other interactive features redefining the future of film. Since the unveiling of the environmental effects and seat motion technology to the public, the explosion of full sensory theater immersion continues to grow world-wide. According to cj4dx.com '620 theaters, 60,000 seats in 62 countries' currently offer 4 packages that can be retroactively equipped to fit the needs of each theater. It currently takes less than a month for CJ 4Dplex to program a 4DX track over a current film.
3D, fog, rain, back and leg ticklers, full range motion seats and air shots are just a few options theaters can request to have installed in their auditoriums for their guests to enjoy.
Imagine Fantasia as the full-bodied in living color experience that Mr. Disney intended it to be. An up-close and personal swinging and swaying, splashes of mist from the magic swells of musical waves, smelling the flowers individual Disney mind trip at your local theater. This technology gives Walt's vision a medium to become what only he knew it could.
The current cost of 4dx tickets are upwards of $30. Once you see a movie in 4Dx there will be no other way to see movies. I dont know how we saw movies without this technology before now. It is worth the money, however knowing that I personally am not going to spend $30 per ticket for every movie I want to see this year, it will be a huge factor in the movies we see in the future. In comparison to ScreenX or 3d alone or even 2d there is none. If 4dx were the $20 per ticket price like the current 2d experience I would move into the theater parking lot because I would want to be 1st in line at every opening screening.
It's impossible to compare a Tim Burton remake to the original as you've learned in the past. Burton along with an outstanding cast manages to surprise and captivate young and old alike. Don't expect to see the iconic black and white stripes, the director is so famous for, in this film. The film's wardrobe designer stresses the disconnect. The steampunk art-deco plays a starting role in this 1940s time piece.
Classic Dumbo fans will not be disappointed as all the original heart string tugging moments are kept well intact. The beautifully intertwined modern-day lessons are so seamlessly developed in the story that it suggests Walt himself was in charge of the rewrites.
Veteran actors step into the iconic roles we didn't know we needed. Up and coming youngster have solidified their spots as assets to the Disney Family.
Destined to be a classic, Dumbo (2019) is sure to bring a cult following for years to come. Wide eyed, cuddly characters from Dumbo to Joe Farrier (Finley Bobbins) are easy to root for while the villains real and personal are served a dose of PETA approved justice.
This re-i-magic-ed classic coupled with the immerging technological advances in the movie going experience make Disney's Dumbo 4Dx the only way see it in theaters event.
