SCREENX CINEMA MOVIE

When Tom Cruise climbs into the cockpit of a jet and the runway extends left, right, and center as far as you can see, you feel like youâ€™re standing right there waiting to send him off. I tested out ScreenX for the first time with an advance screening of Top Gun: Maverick at CVG Los Angeles, and it was probably the perfect film to get the ScreenX treatment. Being able to look to either side and see hyped-up concert attendees would definitely help draw you into the excitement of the original atmosphere.īut I think the ScreenX experience will really shine the most while watching a classic action blockbuster.

Now, Iâ€™ve never personally really understood watching concert replays in movie theaters it seems like reducing that experience to staring ahead at a screen defeats the purpose of attending a concert. Two major types of films come to mind for me. So, now that you know about ScreenX, whatâ€™s worth watching in 270-degrees? Because youâ€™re in control of how you immerse yourself in the film, it feels that much more real and less gimmicky than watching something made for 3D.

You can focus on the extended screens on either side of you whenever you choose (or if you really want, you can ignore them completely). Unlike 3D, where you donâ€™t have any choice in what pops out of the screen at you, you get a choice in how you view something on ScreenX. The unique blend of immersiveness and personal agency really makes the ScreenX experience. And thatâ€™s what ScreenX gives you: the option to look around within a movie as if itâ€™s something youâ€™re really experiencing. In real life, you observe your surroundings by justâ€¦ looking around. In contrast, the ScreenX experience feels immersive in a much more natural way. (I mean, how often are you dodging things flying at your face in real life?) 3D often feels like it tries so hard to push the immersion factor, it actually takes you out of the film. It works sometimes, but thereâ€™s a certain unnaturalness to it, too. Itâ€™s not without its fun, but the immersion factor of 3D is basically limited to making it feel like things are flying in your face all the time. ScreenX isnâ€™t the only moviegoing experience that bills itself as a more fun, interesting, and immersive way to watch a film in theatersâ€¦ but it might be the best of the bunch.įor a while now, 3D has been the â€œstandardâ€ format for making a movie more immersive. How does ScreenX compare to other immersive theater experiences like 3D?
