Avatar in IMAX 3D? Nah, it’s time for 4DX and beyond!
Seen a movie on a rooftop? In a park? How about a cemetery? Yes, it is a thing. But hey, they say don’t knock anything until you try it. How we watch movies in theaters has changed over just the last fifty years or so. We have gone from drive-in theaters and walk-in auditorium style venues to advanced ticket purchasing and immersive experiences with 4DX technology and Cosm shared reality. These dramatic changes have undoubtedly enhanced our movie-watching experiences, making them more engaging than we ever could have imagined. Join us on the Cup of Tea Critiques Podcast as we discuss the different theater experiences and which are best for what genres of movies.
Send us a comment letting us know which experience you like best and for what types of films?
