AVATAR Goes 4D in Korea!
http://www.collider.com/2010/02/05/avatar-goes-4d-in-korea/

While the world was content to watch Avatar in 3D, in Korea, they’ve taken it to the next level: 4D.
Using moving seats, sprinkling water, laser lights, smells of explosives and wind,
Korea’s leading multiplex chain, CJ-CGV, uses more than 30 effects during the movie and charges a much higher ticket price for the experience ($15.80 versus $6.90).


The 4D experience started last year with Journey to the Center of the Earth in one theater, and now they’ve opened three more 4D theaters and they sell out.

“We (started to) prepared the ‘Avatar’ 4D ride last summer,” says Tom Oh, prexy of 20th Century Fox Korea.

With the success of 4D, Wonderworld Studio has partnered up with L.A.-based Animation Picture Co. to complete 10 4D films this year.

While you may, at first, scoff at the notion of 4D, I could see this format taking off in America.
After all, back in the 50’s, movie theaters used to pump in the smell of popcorn to get theater patrons to buy it and that worked.
Also, back in the late 50’s or early 60’s, I believe some theaters tried Smell-O-Vision, but it proved to be difficult and not cost effective.

Nowadays, with technology easier to implement, I could definitely see some aspects of 4D being used in movie theaters.
The moving seats during an explosion wouldn’t be that hard to do, and also certain smells during key sequences.
But, I’m definitely not on board with sprinkling water as some of us wear glasses.

If you’ve been to California Adventure (Disneyland in Los Angeles) they have an amazing ride called Soarin’ Over California which essentially uses Smell-O-Vision when you’re over certain locations.  And you know what…it really works and it’s the best ride in the park.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see 4D in our future.
What do you think about it?
Is 4D a joke and not worth pursuing?
I’m curious what you all think.

hi!

i like this movie!

[LyRiCaL_G]

Finally got around to watchin it..i know took my time

Firstly id like to say congrats to james cameron for making another huuuge movie lol, dudes a fuckin genius, hate on him all you want but dudes amazing. I cant think of a movie of his i have watched which i didnt like. Damn T2 was like my favourite movie coming up as a kid.

Now to avatar...it was very good...i didnt think it was like some all time classic shit but it was actually a really realy good movie with definate potential to a follow up. Some of the shit reminded me of some lord of the rings type shit but i liked it. Best part of the movie though was the message imo, sure it might have got some kids hurt but the message was great in how it relates so much to the world we live in today.

As for the 3D...real good, not corny at all, but i still am not in a zone where i think ...i cant imagine watchin movies in 2d anymore after watching it..like maybe my expectations were abit to high on the 3d...lol, maybe i was on some 3.5-4D hype lol i dunno but as great as it helped in making the film bigger, i still think its not essential for the audience to see a movie in 3D...maybe it helps in making what the creators of the movie want us to see though, who knows but as a viewer, i dont think it as essential.

Still a great experience, some of the scenes and colours in the film were amazing.

Props to James Cameron, cant wait to see his next shit which he plans on making on a large scale..if im still alive :| haha
