top gun maveric with screen x was great exprience. I went twice.

I agree with your assessment. I thought it was distracting. The movie I saw just had some extra atmospheric / background stuff and it came on and off at certain points of the movie. So when it changed either on or off, it was distracting

Yup it was the same way with Spider-Man no way home. I feel like if you’re gonna do computer generated side screens, you gotta at least commit to it for the entire movie. It’s not like imax where it’s literally different cameras. If it’s all done on the computer anyway I don’t see why they can’t have it expand for the entire movie.

This sounds like a total gimmick. A different experience that definitely wasnt a gimmick was something called Omnimax (Science World in Vancouver, BC). I watched Dunkirk there and it was mind blowingly immersive without feeling gimmicky. It basically takes an IMAX film and wraps it around you in a hemisphere.

FYI both ScreenX and 4DX are imported from CGV, a Korean cinema. That probablly is why they can't get actual footage for the side screens.

Experienced the Screen X experience for the first time today as a film grad. I couldn’t stop laughing for the first 20 minutes of the movie. What an absolutely stupid idea in my opinion.

​@@EvansMedia99 don't they do that though because that's how human vision works? if you're looking at the center screen the stuff on the side is in your peripheral vision, and we don't see that as clearly. so i guess the question is, does the lower resolution actually impact the viewing experience when you're watching the film as intended?

I feel that’d be worse. The left and right screen are just supposed to fill in your peripheral vision, to make you feel more immersed. Your not supposed to be watching the left or right screen as there’s nothing happening in those screens. The only screen that should be payed attention to is the middle screen where all the stuff is happening. Because of this, I think the best place is either in the middle of the theater or more in front of the

Never seen a movie in a screen X I’ve always watched in 4D which in my opinion everyone should experience it. I’ve seen kingdom of apes, Godzilla X Kong, Abigail all in 4D I have a blast watching movies like that. Mad max is bout b my 4th movie

Im trying to find out If Godzilla Minus One is worth seeing in Screen X, it seem like a movie that could take good advantage of the extra space, but even in your video you can tell the side screens look like crap, and seem more distracting than anything (maybe its different when your actually there idk...). But from my limited experience, you can never go wrong with IMAX.

I saw it in screen x, imax and in Xd format, imax was easily the best experience, screen x is pretty bad in general I’d prefer standard.

A lot of things we enjoy today started as gimmicks; it’s the early stages and takes a while to nail down how to best utilize the technology. It also takes end user buy-in to push companies to continue investing in and developing this stuff - see folding phones, 3d films, and many other things. See where it goes. Imagine something like Avatar on this type of screen setup with some tweaks and better usage of space.

@@EvansMedia99 Top Gun Maverick was amazing in 4DX

I wonder if it's improved since your video from a year ago. I might go check out dune this afternoon cuz I just learned about this. It's a great concept but I have to agree with you. It would be nice if it was shot in a different format for something like this and why isn't it one screen either lol they can figure that out. Especially the seams they could get rid of those that would probably help. Maybe this is experimental and in the future it's going to change and get better or they'll have it different version of it that makes it a better experience. I think it's an alternative to IMAX and they're just trying to be as immersive as possible. Keep in mind movie theaters are losing money because they're not doing anything groundbreaking and with the way home theater setups are at home with the TVs and the sound systems that are available to us people are choosing to stay home rather than to go to movie theaters.

Only two films that where good with this, Maverick and batman. They should really just use it on films itsnworth having for and just use it as a 2D screen otherwise

I saw Argyle in Screen X. Ultimately the side screens were distracting and didn't help the storytelling. I do not recommend. It's a gimmick.

I wonder how much work it is and how much it cost to add the extra content for any of these VFX heavy movies. I work as a VFX artist and I know the vfx budget for these shows are so tight already. To retroactively add 2 extra screens of stuff, even if you have the original footage as a guide, even if it's low res and blurry, even if the timing is a little off, would still be a sh!t ton of work. Also, the idea of Screen X only happening for a few major key moments, doesn't sound like it's worth it at all. I'd try it once just to experience it, but it seems like a bad investment business wise.

I'll concede that the side screens aren't the same video quality as the main screen, it seems slightly lower res, but I don't see the timing issue the video is talking about. As for the business investment, I can say that I watched Twisters in ScreenX last night and had the ENTIRE theater to myself. I'll let you draw your own conclusion from that, but I know I was happy. : )

For everyone bashing the ScreenX format, the idea is to EXTEND the picture around the side walls to create a 270-degree panoramic experience to fully surround and immerse the viewer in the movie. Whether it achieves this for you is personal, but it's not stupid. For me, it's a good idea, and the flaw is in the execution. The end result varies, sometimes it's good, other times less so, even in the same movie, and it's not something I'd always pay more for, even with action movies and the like. I think a big part of the problem is our peripheral vision, we simply do not have that wide a field of vision to watch three screens of that size at the same time, and it's not seamless. Ideally, the screen/screens would curve so there wouldn't be any lines/breaks at the wall junction points, and the side screens would have the same image quality as the main screen. But again, the idea is if your entire field of vision is filled, in this case meaning you cannot see the edges of the screen as your side peripheral vision is also filled by the movie by what wraps around the side walls, it gives you a greater sense of "being there," of it being real. And for all those lauding IMAX... I don't know, maybe it's my local theater that sucks(sorry to say), but I see very little to no difference between IMAX and standard, not in screen size or anything else(okay, maybe the Imax sound was a little better, but that's a minor thing, it's not like the standard sound is poor. I even think my RPX theater looks better than IMAX). My theater is somewhat lax and I have literally walked back and forth between two auditoriums playing the same movie, one IMAX and one standard, and to me, the movie playing in Standard format was better; LOOKED BETTER. I won't get started on 4DX, but if anyone wants to know my thoughts, go ahead and ask and I'll give you my diatribe on the matter.
