Good Friday

Just when we thought we were free of 3D movies, 4D theatres are being built. I keep reading that fewer and fewer 3D movies are being made because people just aren’t seeing them anymore. People are tired of them. So then why the hell would you go out and make a bunch of 4D movie theatres outside of a theme park. It’s fun and cool in a theme park when you’re watching animatronic characters, but not when you’re watching a real movie. I would not want to be watching Transformers in a 4D theatre. I don’t want to feel the explosions or feel water falling on my face. That’s just too intense. I can handle it at a theme park for a 15 minute show, but that’s as much as my sensory over load can handle. There’s a 4D theatre ready to open late August somewhere in LA. I didn’t get the details on where, but trust that I will never go there. It might be cool and fun for one movie, but I doubt people would go back for that. Maybe I’m wrong and I have no idea how the world works, but knowing how sick people are of 3D doesn’t make me confident that they would be interested in 4D. Am I alone here?
