I typically don't enjoy futuristic fictional novels, especially when they involve inordinate amounts of murder, but Hunger Games is a great series. I watched the first movie BEFORE reading the book, and was hooked. I started Catching Fire, before I left for Korea and never finished it. I wanted to watch the movie, and I'd heard about this 4D experience so we decided Try it out.
Normally, 4D movies are just 3D movies with moving seats, and in-theatre effects that appeal to the senses.The movie Catching Fire didn't actually have enough material for 3D so we didn't get the cool glasses. The seats moved and vibrated to simulate the train and plane rides with Katniss and Peta. As the movie progressed, we were sprayed with water when the contestants started the games, and smoke filled the room to simulate the poisonous fog. They even released some foul odors in the air to help with the effects.
Overall, I could have done without the 4D, and it was almost a distraction. I would have preferred the movie in 3D, simply because the special effects are so spectacular it''d be awesome to have it popping from the screen. The theatre prices are inexpensive, only 17,000 won ( $16) for a movie in 4D If you get the chance, go see a movie in 4D.
