"Journey to the Centre of the Earth"

I finally watched the 3D Special Effects Version at the 4D Extreme Screen Cinema @ HKIA.

The movie was uninspiring. It's just another brainless adventure movie with a puffed up guy, a cocky teen, a hot chick and some man eating animals. Nevertheless, it's good entertainment, my whole family had quite some fun.

The cinema was pretty nice. Chairs were comfy and new, floors were clean, nothing sticky, and NO bad smell. Here's what
they said:


"In addition to enjoying the stupendously realistic three-dimensional images on the extreme screen, audiences can also experience different kinds of sensory stimuli synchronized to the drama of the movie unfolding before them, including snowfall, wind, the spray of water, bubbles, fog, lights, and all kinds of smells. 4D Extreme Screen is the cinema which at present is equipped with the greatest range of multi-sensory special effects in the world, and provides an experience beyond anything conventional cinemas are capable of offering. "


Luckily, we only got wind and sprays of water that day. If they released any scent, we would smell rotten egg (sulphur) and rotten meat (enormous Venus Flytrap). But still, I didn't enjoy the special effects.

Use your imagination, when do you think they would spray water?

When:
a. Brendan Fraser was washing his mouth.
b. Josh Hutcherson was choking on a puddle of water.
c. the gigantic T-Rex was drooling its tongue off.
d. it was raining.

Answer: All of the above except d.


You see, it's so disgusting, when happened I almost jumped out of my skin.
The second time they sprayed water on us, I was cursing like a rapper.

Lucky for them, the water didn't smell. If it got bad smell, I'd definitely file a complaint.


Oh, by the way, they didn't use the whole 64ftx44ft screen, they only used like 60% of it. So feel free to sit in the center, no need to sit in the last row.
