Comments on: Forget IMAX and 3-D: Could D-Box Seating Be The Future of Cinema?? http://www.filmjunk.com/2009/07/15/forget-imax-and-3-d-could-d-box-seating-be-the-future-of-cinema/ Blog and Podcast Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:14:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Richard http://www.filmjunk.com/2009/07/15/forget-imax-and-3-d-could-d-box-seating-be-the-future-of-cinema/comment-page-1/#comment-1592709 Richard Thu, 27 Jan 2011 00:38:15 +0000 http://www.filmjunk.com/?p=23165#comment-1592709 Dbox is by far the best quality technology available for the enjoyment of movie watching. Dbox haters should go back and watch their movies on a black and white tv with only one speaker. The purpose of cinema is to get lost in the experience and forget about your day day grind. Look up Imax and real D on the stockmarket. Both are trading in the mid to high 20$ a share. Dbox is in the high to low 50/60 cents a share. I tried dbox. You should try it before you knock it. I am a proud stockholder who will be laughing all the way to the bank. Dbox is by far the best quality technology available for the enjoyment of movie watching.

Gimmicks and cheap amusement park tricks have been souring the theatrical experience for years. I've completely stopped going to the FamousPlayers/Galaxy/Cinexplex chain because they are more interested in the peripheral noise than the actual films. And all that advertisment is a bit garrish. The AMC-Canada part of the chain is the classiest 'multiplex' type theatre around where I live, and they get all my business, because their theatre lobbies are quiet videogame and fast-food free and they haven't gone to video commercials before the show and continue using those blessedly silent slide shows instead. D-Box is a silly idea that will fad out soon enough. ” Gimmicks and cheap amusement park tricks won’t enhance the movie-going experience.”

I give it a thumbs up!

With today's CGI, Earthquake would rule. Add 3-D and you'd have a blockbuster! Jonathan, I think you should try reading books. Ha ha. I remember when everyone thought "color" was a fad.

It really has nothing to do with the soundtrack -- it's all about what you would 'feel' in a particular scene, not what you would hear. So no, it's really not related to bass shakers or rumblepacks at all. That, and D-BOX has a lot more experience doing this than people realize. They've been selling high-end home theater motion equipment for years, and have written these motion 'scripts' for over 1000 movies which you can use from your existing library and screen in your own home. The home theater stuff is, as written, bastardly expensive, which is why I think they are making the push into big screens. For a roughly $20 ticket, you can do the same thing the $50,000 home theater stuff does. You can’t really judge the D-BOX experience until you’ve tried it.
