Seems like a bit of a distraction to me...

If your in a total dark room and your totally focused on the movie you'll get passed the idea that your seat is moving and it will become second nature to people, i think. (havent experienced it yet but i did in some Parks in the US and EU)

I've been on something similar, and it was pretty cool, but I couldn't do it for the whole film, only a short one really

I don't think I'd ever be able to afford D-Box (at home).
I don't even think there's any D-Box cinemas here in Canada (don't quote me on that).
I remember when I went go watch Priest, the seats were supposed to do something similar to D-Box, but ultimately, it never worked.
The signs said "caution" when we entered the theaters.
"These seats may move sporadically and unexpectedly, please keep an eye on your food and drinks at all times".
Was fail though. Still enjoyed the movie, nevertheless.

It's not the first time theaters have not lived up to expectations, and I kind of just go to see the movies now.

You can still watch the movie, it will only move when their is awesome baysplosions going on, but if you still want it that's understandable. :lmao

[Hippogriffomon45]

That would be absolutely awesome. My theatre should do it!!

[Jelani14883]

Yea i do not think i have ever been in those before. I do not know any theaters around my area that have that. But I may be wrong.

*Edited* Yea nm. We have 1. Just not one i have been to. Yea it seems that could be cool i guess. But does it shake like crazy when explosions go off cause i could not go through that i think lol

So that SRP-10 motion platform is for that theatre use or is it for home use? If it's for home use, do you use your own chair or does it come with the chair?

You mean the d-box SRP-120?
You can buy a seat mount for your own chair or sofa but it has limits see here:



This is how it works:

People's experience with the D-Box motion seats:

HP: half blood

Watch at 1:15 for reactions.

Terminator Salvation

Watch at 0:40 and at 1:26 for reactions.

2012

Watch at 1:06 for reactions.

HP: deathly hallows part 1

Watch at 0:55 for reactions.

Tron

Watch at 0:48 for reactions.

Of Course these are all positive reactions, i also hope no one got payed for saying these things i think they all told the truth, i did leave one reaction clip out because i thought some people were exaggerated a little bit.

[Crainy]

Now THATS a gimmick.

I would not watch TF3 with this...

The real down side to this will be the price of the ticket. As it is, IMAX 3D tickets are $15 a person where i live. I can see this jumping ticket prices to over $20. No thanks.

If they raise the price of the tickets then they are doing a poor job at trying to get people back to the theatres...

The chairs look something used in amusement parks like Disney Land or something like that.
We don't have anything like that in our movie theaters in Sweden.
I don't think a lot of people are going to buy these to their homes, when taking the fact in hand, that like around 95-99% of people have their home theater system in their living room.
I just can't see the case that people would throw out their comfy sofas and buy these chairs instead.
Personally I don't care if the DOTM blu-ray gets D-Box treatment or not.
All I want is it to get the 7.1 DTS-HD Master audio surround sound and I'm happy with that.
I don't have a 3D TV or a 3D blu-ray player, so when DOTM is released on blu-ray, then it will be the first time I'm gonna watch it in 2D on my 46" LED-TV and my 7.1 surround system...

They are indeed based on the 3-4D seats in amusement parks.
And you dont have to buy the whole chair or sofa you can buy a mount for your own sofa or chair but there are limits to it.

Watch:

View the limits at 2:00

Your able to use these mount for your own sofa or chairs.

If this technology was more widely available and more affordable, I would buy it.
Die Hard With A Vengeance on blu-ray has D-Box. I had no idea what that meant at first then started looking at the website and youtube videos.
But I don't feel like leaving my igloo to try it out :head

Well thats how the theaters pay for systems like this. Nothing's free, and it needs to paid for somehow.

Oh yeah sure but im talking about overpricing something.
But yeah i get it.. im looking at the big picture now.

I have send an email to my cinema regarding this technology as a suggestion for them to get this in the cinema rooms, we'll see if they do this.. i have no idea if they will.
