I don't know about 9D, but I once saw Avengers: Age of Ultron in 4D in a theater in Seoul, South Korea. It was a 3D film with moving seats, smells, and air that would blast in your face.

During a car chase, you could smell burning rubber, or close-ups of women would have a whiff of perfume or flowers. During a shootout, you'd get fine blasts of air on either side of your face, like bullets barely missing your head. If someone took a hit, the seats would jolt violently. It also poked you in the back if someone was hit from behind. Not to mention, flying in any aircraft felt like you were on a rollercoaster; the seats would raise and lower and tilt in all directions. It was pretty intense. Like being on one of those Universal Studios rides at their theme park, except for an entire film.

Dude I wish those kinds of theatres were more common. Disney has (or had when I was there last anyway) Honey I Shrunk The Audience and A Bug's Life as 4D experiences, and those were awesome.

[–] CleoTheWizard 12 points 9 months ago (4 children)

This is a PSA but there are a handful of theaters that do 4D called 4DX theaters and you might have one near you if you live in the US. Regal theaters specifically usually have them.

Went and saw Dune Pt2 in theaters and it was actually super fun. Shaking during the fight scenes, wind on your face when out on the dunes, lots of movement riding the sand worm, and water blasts and more.

They’re super fun, look them up and maybe travel to one sometime.

Unfortunately, Honey I shrunk the kids is no more and I heard that they are getting rid of A Bugs Life (although that might just be a retheme)retirement.

The Star Tours ride moves around while you're in it and the Avatar ride moves and puffs smells while you fly on the back of the flying dragon animals, but I think that's the closest experience to 4D now.

To each their own—I hated a Bugs Life 4D as a kid. Get stung by bees for fun? No thank you!

[–] cobysev 5 points 9 months ago

When I was a kid in the mid-90s, I went to Universal Studios in Orlando and experienced T2-3D: Battle Across Time, their Terminator spinoff story. It was amazing! 3D visuals, spraying mist into the audience as machines are blown apart, and there was audience interaction too, where the story would "leap off the screen" and actors would duke it out in front of us. I always wanted to go back and experience that again, but I guess they finally closed down that ride about a decade ago.

I saw day and the furious something like this. It was ok but not really worth it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

That sounds awful to experience as a customers, but also sounds like an awesome challenge to pull out convincingly for whoever created it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That sounds horrible

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There were Dippin' Dots vending machines in the mall... Like 4 of them. Do people really like Dippin' Dots that much?

[–] ummthatguy 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean, it is "the ice cream of the future". From some 30-odd years ago. May want to check the expiration date on that.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 9 months ago

They're basically ice cream styrofoam. They probably last forever. And putting them in vending machines actually makes more sense than having a person handing out specific-size cups of the same 4 flavors in a mall kiosk.

That said, in the attached convention center, they had a Dippin' Dots kiosk with a person handing out specific-size cups of the same 4 flavors. 🤷

I once went to the booth operator of the nearby "4D" theatre, and asked what the fourth dimension was.

Near as we could figure. It was water. The theatre sprayed you with water (probably a mist or something) as the "4th dimension".

I did not buy a ticket to the show.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Ive been in a couple of these and usually 4d means 3d movie with a combination of added physical effects in the room, common are

spray mist
blow wind
moving/shaking chairs

Most fancy ive seen was the roof fake collapsing

As a novelty attraction in an amusement there quite fun but i cant see it worth much of a premium over already overpriced movie tickets.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge, dude.

Is it "necessary" for me to drink my own urine?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just two more dimensions and they will solve String Theory!

[–] Agent641 7 points 9 months ago

Dodge, duck dip, dive and dodge.

[–] Etterra 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well you've got hight, width, depth of course. As for the other six, you've got: time, parallel, perpendicular, alternate, Disney, and fnord.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

You make a good point, all movies are three dimensions (height, width, time), while some have the illusion of a fourth (depth).

All movies are 3D.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Are you... sure you want to know?

Like at some point, after your standard 5 (vision, sound, touch, taste, & smell), those dimensions gotta start wrapping back around to where they started. And at that point they must have to go THROUGH your tissues to do it.

I am saying that one of them surely is an electrified butt-plug. So that's six, and after that... that's where shit REALLY starts to get freaky!

[–] FlyingSquid 17 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (4 children)

I'm not sure you know what dimensions are... but then neither did whoever made this mall attraction.

Also, come on, you show Pinhead but it isn't Doug Bradley?

[–] ummthatguy 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Let's not even go into whoever they dropped in after he left the tattered franchise. Oddly enough, the Hulu reboot/continuation(?) wasn't that bad. Further note, it's weirdly connected to an upcoming tenforward post I'm slapping together.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you want another connection between Hellraiser and Star Trek, Doug Bradley's name was on the tip of my tongue and it just wasn't coming to me, so I looked up Pinhead on Wikipedia.

Pinhead was voiced by Fred Tatasciore- Lower Decks' own Shaxs- in 2011's Hellraiser: Revelations. He only did the voice, but there's a link for you.

These marketing gimmicks are fairly uh... "broadly inclusive" in their definitions of terms (whatever makes them the most money).

But you are right, that choice was unforgivable. My image seems to have caused you... pain?

Thus, mission failed spectacularly! :-)

This could be an SCP or something lol, like you go in and are subjected to 6 additional dimensions of reality and go insane

Watching 9D Aliens and you get absolutely burnt to a crisp when Ripley fires the flamethrower. Turns out the final D is Death.

My guess is a 3D movie mixed with a 6DoF motion setup. 9D still sounds stupid though.

I just like the email. I read it as 9 Dad Venture.

I would skip it. Turns out it's a 3D movie and a gangbang.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

3 of space, and 6 of time. You're only missing 2 dimensions of time from 11D. Personally, I think the decision to not include the last 2 time dimensions is a bit too avant garde for my tastes.

[–] serpineslair 3 points 9 months ago

They are mine.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Dimensions don’t have to be spatial or temporal. They can just be parameter spaces. So, how much water sprayed on you during the ride is a parameter with a value and hence a dimension.

But yeah, this marketing phrase is only going to impress someone with the education of a six year old child.

[–] TheControlled 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A movie theater company using Gmail? 🤣

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's not a movie theater. There are these little tiny pods you sit in with VR goggles. Goggles god knows how many other people have worn that day.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Maybe that's the what the other 6D are. The D stands for diseases.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Ask your mom about her 9D experience lol gottem
