‘Avengers Endgame’ Is A Ride In 4DX

Published

on

It’s Summer blockbuster season, which means among other things: spectacle. Of course there’s now 3D, Dolby, Recliner Seats, Imax, and Imax 3D, but if you want that extra touch of intensity, there’s 4DX. As we’ve written about before, 4DX includes moving seats, vibration, water sprays, even smells and 3D depending on the show. It adds a theme park like level of action to the experience, and the bigger the movie, the better the action. And it doesn’t get bigger, better, and more action-y than Avengers Endgame.

I had the opportunity to watch Avengers Endgame in the 4DX format after having already seen it in plain 2D and Imax 3D to compare. The epic conclusion to the Marvel Cinematic Universe saga plays well in such a format with its fantastical fights and sojourns into space and beyond. Particularly, the final, be-all end-all climax is a fun dive as your seats move with the battle. One of my favorite scenes enhanced by 4DX involves Avengers member Hawkeye being chased by a cadre of alien Outriders through a flooding sewer tunnel in what feels like an homage to similar scene from the sci-fi/horror classic Aliens, which itself had a significant reference in the previous Avengers film, Infinity War.

Of course, Avengers Endgame is a bit of a more somber movie than most high stakes super hero movies, so there are many scenes of calm, comedy, or drama that can’t quite be enhanced with the features of 4DX. But when it calls for it, it does enhance the experience of seeing literal titans throw-down. The water effect is fun, but it can get a bit distracting especially getting the 3D glasses fogged up. Though there is a button to turn that feature off if you want to avoid the splash zone. The 3D itself was great and added a depth to the movie, though with such a widescale movie, Imax and Imax 3D did give significantly more high definition with a larger screen. Overall though, if you’ve seen Avengers Endgame and/or want to pull as much of an experience from it as possible, 4DX is a great cherry on top

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
