My latest adventure at the movies was an interesting one. I got to simultaneously enjoy the nerve-wracking feel of a roller coaster ride combined with a REALLY stupid movie.
I went to see The Final Destination. For a lark, it was decided that it would be experienced in a theater that was screening it not only in 3D, but in a new feature called D-BOX Seating.
I tried to find a decent video that would give a better idea what it's like but all i could find was this......
Boy, can that kid sell a product or what? Watch out, Billy Mays.
Anyway, what D-Box essentially does is move your seat according to the movie you are watching. If there's a wild car chase or an explosion, you feel it. Hell, if someone sneezes or farts in the movie, you feel it. It is a lot of fun but definitely not for people who suffer motion sickness easily.
The reason I chose the latest Final Destination movie was clear...the movies are so dumb they're awesome. I don't go expecting a great suspense movie. I want bad acting, thoughtless writing, and completely unrealistic death scenes you can see coming an hour beforehand. And in 3D, no less!! I had yet to see anything in the "new" 3D technology i have been reading about lately. I have to admit it looks pretty cool. It still makes me yearn for the old days of Dr. Tongue's 3d House Of Stewardesses, though.....
