![]() And, I have mixed feelings about these Disney remakes – my brain sees them as a cynical money-grab (and wow does Flounder look terrible in this movie!) but my heart sings along so happily with the familiar songs and the new twists that new actors bring to very specific line reads… Melissa McCarthy’s “Poor Unfortunate Souls” is pretty great.) So, the option to have a different kind of movie-going experience along with a movie retread made it more appealing to me. And I realized this was the perfect opportunity! It was a “new” movie, but I knew the plot and many of the words. Then the next day, I was trying to talk my 12 year old boy into going to see the new Little Mermaid. ![]() I didn’t want to try it on a movie I was super invested in watching, because I was afraid it would distract me from the movie. This entertaining anecdote raised my curiosity about 4DX movies, and I started thinking about what movie I’d want to see in 4D. Last week, I was listening to the Filmcast podcast, and they shared an email from a listener who had joined a friend at a movie, not knowing it was a 4DX screening, and how startled they were when the seats started shaking (“my friend’s mom screamed!”) and when they were sprayed with water, and the experience of “getting punched in the kidney” by the chair when a character on the screen was shot. Although it’s not an experience I would do many times, it was a lot of fun for the right movie, for adults and older kids. TL/DR summary: At some Regal cinemas, including the Meridian in Seattle, they have 4DX movies which include chairs that rock and shake, water and wind effects.
