VOX Cinemas invited Beiruting.com to test its new 4DX screens for a test drive and boy were we excited.

If you're a person who fancies getting a bit more immersed in the action of a movie or you wish you were a character on screen, then we can tell you that you will definitely enjoy it. You can watch select new releases at VOX's 4DX screens. If you've ever wondered what it's like to add an extra dimension to 3D then wonder no more. VOX 4DX incorporates moving seats that react to what's happening on the screen with other environmental effects like fog, wind, rain, thunder, and even smell.

As soon as they handed us our tickets and glasses, we rushed to sit in those big comfortable chairs we had been hearing so much about. Being the big Star Wars fans that we were, we simply couldn't wait to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. We were ushered to our bulky seats, designed to be attuned to the on-screen action through motion simulators. We got on and the chair sprang to life as soon as the movie began. Swaying, tilting and prodding with every fast-paced movement and angle change felt like a weirdly satisfactory massage.

The smoke effects, restricted near the screen, and flashes of light during fight segments were an interesting addition as well. With every shots fired pew pewpew, you can actually feel every hit lightly of course on your back or head depending on scene.

We had always wished to experience what it would be like to be inside of the Millennium Falcon that goes 0.5 beyond the speed of light, however being in Rogue One was just as awesome. Describing in words will not give the VOX 4DX experience any justice. Your chair is your very own Millennium Falcon and for those who don't like Star Wars there are plenty of other movies that we can imagine it to be an awesome experience. Just visualize the smooth and sudden movements during a car chase in an action movie like Fast and Furious.

When the movie was over, the adrenaline rush that we got did not steady until we were well out of the mall and back into the reality of the parking lot. We enjoyed every bit of it ... even the tiny movements on your back that simulate kicks whenever a character falls down. We can't wait to see what other movies we can dive into next!
