The motion seats of the 4DX system are programmed to move according to a predetermined sequence during movie screening. As a result, motion seats can cause the following problems:
- your personal effects (e.g. popcorn, beverages etc.) may be dropped or spilt
- whilst already being seated, your body and/or clothing may become caught between the seats.
In the case of sensitive viewers:
- dizziness
- headache and/or muscle aches during movie screening
- in extreme cases, epileptic symptoms.
Environmental Effects:
A number of special effects are used during the screening of 4DX movies: wind, scent, foam, liquid, movement, mist, bubbles sound effects etc.
Please, bear in mind that
- concerning the wind machines, malfunctioning may occur as a result of objects (such as audience member’s personal effects) coming into contact with the machine.
- concerning the bubble-making devices, contact with your clothing, personal effect and/or leather, silk products may cause injury, damage or stains.
- water emitted may cause the following: dampen your clothing; for female patrons, spoil makeup and slight odors. Additionally, such water emissions may get onto the 3D glasses. However, the water used in the course of special effects screenings is not likely to cause significant physical harm.
Audience members excluded from screenings
- In order to uphold high safety standards and prevent accidents involving you from occurring, persons who have the following conditions shall not be permitted entrance:
o epilepsy,

- Children between the ages of 4 to 7 years may attend screenings only if they are accompanied by an authorized guardian.
- Owing to the weight restrictions of seats, persons weighing over 120 kilograms shall not be permitted to attend 4DX screenings.
Matters of Special Concern:
Motion seats:
- During screening, the possibility of serious injury occurring from the motion chair movements is ever present. For preventative purposes, you are kindly requested to refrain from movement in the chair or exiting the chair whilst screening is in progress.
- Please, prevent foreign objects, including parts of your body at all times from contact with fan devices used to produce wind effects and any other device used in 4D screenings in order to prevent injury and malfunctioning of equipment.
- Please, pay special attention to preventing your personal effects or any part of your body from being caught between the chairs and walls/stairs.
- Please, make sure that your personal articles and food items (especially coffee, tea or any other hot beverages) are adequately secured.
- If you should drop or spill any item during screening, please, do not exit your seat to recover such items during screening.
Special Effects:
Wind effects may cause loose items such as scarves, hats etc. to be blown away from you, which may lead to malfunctioning of equipment. Consequently, special attention must be paid to such items prone to wind effects. In case such items are separated from you due to wind effects, please, do not try to recover them during the screening.
I'm well-versed in immersive cinema technologies like the 4DX system. This revolutionary movie experience integrates motion seats and various effects like wind, scent, foam, liquid, and more, synchronized with on-screen action. The motion seats, pivotal to this experience, are programmed to move precisely, enhancing viewers' engagement.
Concerning motion seats, safety is crucial. They're designed to move in sync with the movie but can potentially cause issues like items being dropped or spilt. There's a risk of clothing or body parts getting caught between seats, particularly when seated. For some, the motion can induce dizziness, headaches, or muscle aches. Extreme cases might even provoke epileptic symptoms.
Environmental effects like wind, scent, and liquid are used, but malfunctions can occur. Wind machines might malfunction if personal items contact them. Bubble devices pose risks to clothing, causing injury or stains, while water effects can dampen clothes or affect makeup and glasses, though they're generally not harmful.
Certain audience members are excluded from 4DX screenings due to safety concerns. This includes individuals with epilepsy, high blood pressure, heart or back conditions, or serious medical issues. Pregnant women, intoxicated individuals, children under 4 (and those under 100 cm), and individuals over 120 kg due to weight restrictions are also advised against attending.
Safety measures are highlighted, emphasizing refraining from movement in the chair or exiting during screening. Avoiding contact between personal objects or body parts with equipment and preventing items from getting caught between seats and walls/stairs are crucial safety considerations.
Special effects like wind may cause loose items to malfunction equipment or be blown away, requiring caution. If items are separated due to effects, refrain from retrieving them during the screening.
Overall, the 4DX experience is designed for immersive entertainment, but safety precautions are fundamental due to potential risks associated with the technology and effects used.
