Watching a movie – what to expect from now on…

Going to the movies – ain’t never going to be the same ever again. I recently experienced 4D technology and was overwhelmed by the thought of the experience that movie going would soon turn into. I watched a short demo based on the “Avengers” theme and as expected there was a lot of action in it.

<strong>Watching</strong> a <strong>movie</strong> <strong>–</strong> <strong>what</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>expect</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>now</strong> <strong>on…</strong><br />

Going <strong>to</strong> the <strong>movie</strong>s <strong>–</strong> ain’t never going <strong>to</strong> be the same ever again. I recently experienced 4D<br />

technology and was overwhelmed by the thought of the experience that <strong>movie</strong> going would soon turn<br />

in<strong>to</strong>. I watched a short demo based on the “Avengers” theme and as <strong>expect</strong>ed there was a lot of<br />

action in it. Now, <strong>movie</strong> makers have decided that we need <strong>to</strong> be in the thick of the action and<br />

obviously 3D is a minimum here. A few things that they have thought of <strong>–</strong> adding speakers <strong>to</strong> each<br />

seat so that the sound effect is that much more close <strong>to</strong> you. There’s more <strong>–</strong> in a particularly tense<br />

moment, when a villainous creature tries <strong>to</strong> pierce sharp claws in<strong>to</strong> one of the characters, don’t be<br />

alarmed if your seat suddenly squeezes your back. I for one was taken aback till I realized <strong>what</strong> was<br />

going on. After all, you should understand <strong>what</strong> the action heroes go through all their lives even if it is<br />

a stimulation! Finally, when the scene involved water, you can’t be left behind there <strong>to</strong>o <strong>–</strong> the seats<br />

are equipped with your own personal sprinkler that spring in<strong>to</strong> action and douse you liberally with<br />

water. It’s as real as it can get<br />

I guess the <strong>movie</strong> makers decided that this is the next step in the evolution of <strong>movie</strong>s. My sons and<br />

action-loving husband loved it <strong>–</strong>as for me, the less said the better. I think there was <strong>to</strong>o many<br />

sensations <strong>to</strong> experience and savour and I definitely need <strong>to</strong> get used <strong>to</strong> that. At the same time, I did<br />

feel a twinge of sadness when I thought about the good old 2D <strong>movie</strong> while marvelling at the<br />

advances on the technology front. As I write this blog, I understand 5D and 6D <strong>movie</strong>s are already<br />

being talked about.<br />

From black and white, silent <strong>movie</strong>s , we sure have come a long way and guess anything is possible<br />

the way technology is shaping. Also see more info @ http://www.prayag.com
