D-BOX Motion Code Hits The Theaters

"With “Fast & Furious”, D-BOX will introduce theatrical moviegoers to the added dimension of realistic D-BOX motion effects, providing an innovative and immersive experience. For the release of “Fast & Furious”, D-BOX will have two theaters deployed with exclusive viewing areas that are equipped with special D-BOX-enhanced seating."

Now I can agree with the idea that movie theatres need to provide a lot of extras to compete against the home theater market, but I can't say I'm sure that this is will really keep me interested. D-BOX implements several technologies to create the sense of motion while watching a movie. It's very similar to those motion adventures that were all the rage in the 80s and 90s. I remember as a kid going on one of those "trips" at the base of the CN Tower. It was fun and entertaining, but I also recall some who went on the trip who reacted, uh, poorly. I'm sure that D-BOX can provide a really interesting experience, but the idea of me jiggling left and right for two hours makes me think that some parts of my body might not appreciate this latest venture into movie immersion.
