Twisters made waves this summer with its action-packed premiere, and quickly, social media users shared tips on viewing the movie to get the most out of the experience. Many people felt that viewing the movie in 4DX was the best way to enjoy the visually stunning film, and luckily, there are two theaters in the Bay Area that can show it in 4DX.
What is 4DX?
4DX takes being immersed in a film to the next level. It utilizes high-definition visual effects combined with physical effects to create a fully immersive experience. This can include motion-enabled seats, wind, rain, and even smells to create the experience to help you feel like you’re actually in the film. With a thrilling movie like Twisters, with plenty of twists and turns (literally), it’s easy to see why an enhanced experience like 4DX would be popular.
Safety Precautions: The 4DX equipment can aggravate existing medical conditions or cause users to suffer a loss of equilibrium or balance, headaches or dizziness, and, in extraordinary circumstances, epilepsy-like symptoms. If you are pregnant, elderly, physically or mentally sensitive or have any of the following health conditions, you should not use a 4DX auditorium: high blood pressure, heart conditions, allergies, neck or back conditions or epilepsy.
