Screen X - is it really worth the extra cost? - Review of Cineworld, Watford, England - Tripadvisor (2024)

Reviewed January 14, 2019

If you are only interesting in the answer....here goes....

No.

However...

It's probably worth giving a go once.

Let's face it, cinema is ridiculously expensive these days and companies are looking at ways to entice people in or charge that little bit more. Screen X is, in my opinion, one such gimmick. In essence, imagine a normal cinema except parts (not all) of the film are projected onto the side walls that stretch right to the back of the cinema. The picture quality s not as good as that projecting on the front screen but it doesn't, per say, have to be. The idea is that the image is in your peripheral vision and more immersive. As an example, if the film is showing a car driving down a road, the walls might be pavement/houses etc.

It is immersive in the sense that there's more going on but once you have seen it once, it just becomes repetitive and underwhelming, arguably a little distractive. The fact that it isn't there all the time is also a little odd.

It was good to experience it once. Really not bothered about seeing it again.
