Top Gun: Maverick on its own is an excellent blockbuster. And when the enemy planes come swooping in, you’re Maverick’s wingman, looking around to spot the trails of smoke in the sky. When the jet takes off and the open sky extends all around you, you’re flying too. When Tom Cruise climbs into the cockpit of a jet and the runway extends left, right, and center as far as you can see, you feel like you’re standing right there waiting to send him off. I tested out ScreenX for the first time with an advance screening of Top Gun: Maverick at CVG Los Angeles, and it was probably the perfect film to get the ScreenX treatment. Being able to look to either side and see hyped-up concert attendees would definitely help draw you into the excitement of the original atmosphere.īut I think the ScreenX experience will really shine the most while watching a classic action blockbuster.

Now, I’ve never personally really understood watching concert replays in movie theaters it seems like reducing that experience to staring ahead at a screen defeats the purpose of attending a concert.
Two major types of films come to mind for me. So, now that you know about ScreenX, what’s worth watching in 270-degrees? Because you’re in control of how you immerse yourself in the film, it feels that much more real and less gimmicky than watching something made for 3D. You can focus on the extended screens on either side of you whenever you choose (or if you really want, you can ignore them completely). Unlike 3D, where you don’t have any choice in what pops out of the screen at you, you get a choice in how you view something on ScreenX. The unique blend of immersiveness and personal agency really makes the ScreenX experience. And that’s what ScreenX gives you: the option to look around within a movie as if it’s something you’re really experiencing. In real life, you observe your surroundings by just… looking around. In contrast, the ScreenX experience feels immersive in a much more natural way. (I mean, how often are you dodging things flying at your face in real life?) 3D often feels like it tries so hard to push the immersion factor, it actually takes you out of the film. It works sometimes, but there’s a certain unnaturalness to it, too. It’s not without its fun, but the immersion factor of 3D is basically limited to making it feel like things are flying in your face all the time.
ScreenX isn’t the only moviegoing experience that bills itself as a more fun, interesting, and immersive way to watch a film in theaters… but it might be the best of the bunch.įor a while now, 3D has been the “standard†format for making a movie more immersive. How does ScreenX compare to other immersive theater experiences like 3D?
