Breaking the 4th dimension

Sometimes, you just need to see a movie in 4 dimensions. Goesan itself does not have a movie theater. So, the OCT announced that there would be an optional excursion to a nearby town (like an hour away) to watch a 4D movie. 30,000 won later, we were at Lotte. This 5 story (or so) department store boasted a 4D theater.

Now what is 4D? I was a liiiittle uncertain myself until you sat in the seats. The chairs move. Puffs of air shoot at your face. I hear there are even smells sometimes. It looks a little something like this:

These theaters aren't really in the US yet, although there are some amusement parks that have small rides. According to this article, we might be able to look forward to them soon.

Yeah. Overall, a really fantastic time. The OCT promised our minds would be blown. They were.

Oh and what move? Pacific Rim. Imagine all those fighting sequences/water scenes. Every time the big robots went into the water, we were splashed. Our chairs moved when they walked. Great movie, better in 4 dimensions.


Gotta ask though, what's 5 dimensions? And when can I get it?
