Of all of these, I'...Thanks for the kind words! Of all of these, I'd most like to have seen one of the four Sensurround pictures - and really like your idea of Star Wars in Sensurround! I think a movie is a movie when it can be enjoyed with full entertainment value without the extra process(es). Every movie listed here would qualify except for Scent of Mystery. I guess you could still watch it (I would like to if I could find it) but a big part of the experience would be gone without the fragrances. So, those things you've seen at Disney and Epcot would mostly not be movies, as you probably wouldn't settle in to watch the visual, projected parts at the house on a given evening. <br /> I think it's great that your son is so analytical at his age (I was mostly still entranced by shiny things at his age) but I'm going to have to provide counsel for the prosecution here - I strongly recommend choosing a movie that is less looked forward to than Harry Potter and check it out in 3-D. When it's done well (ie, the movie was shot in the process and not converted later - Piranha 3-D excused) it is an amazingly cool addition to the moviegoing experience. I don't think the current trend of 3-D is going to last too long - or it will undergo a technological advance that will change the experience dramatically - but right now going into a theater to watch three dimensional movie characters while wearing glasses is something people have been doing off and on now for almost 60 years! That's a nice piece of history you can still experience if you give it a try. So I'm suggesting not panning the 3-D Harry Potter until you guys try something else in 3-D, as your son may change his mind when he sees just what the third dimension can bring!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-56131431026184283042010-08-27T09:14:14.548-04:002010-08-27T09:14:14.548-04:00Most of these are obviously pretty gimmicky.

Boom goes the Death Star, and you feel the rush of wind, or a breeze when the x-wings drop into the trench.<br /><br />Or maybe not.<br /><br />For me, these effects raise a question. What, precisely, is a movie? And when does something go from being a film to being a theme park ride?<br /><br />I've experienced similar things at Disney, where characters drop from the ceiling, or water is jetted into the theater. Is it still cinema when an integral part of the experience is delivered through touch or smell, rather than sight and sound?<br /><br />Outside Epcot Center, I've yet to see a 3D movie. I talked about seeing the next Harry Potter in 3D, but my 12-year-old waived the idea, saying he thought the fx would distract him from the film. Made me smile; pretty sharp insight for a junior high kid.<br /><br />For now, we'll limit our "tactile" film experience to extra butter on the popcorn.<br /><br />Excellent post!Joe Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01934888560338996348noreply@blogger.com
