4D refers to a new “immersive” cinema technology which allows you to experience films in a new way. The MX4D® seat EFX features the addition of moving seats, air/water blasts, leg/neck ticklers, fog, seat/back pokers, seat rumblers, and other special effects such as smoke, snow, rain and more.

Premium large format

PLF does not refer to a single format in general, but combinations of non-proprietary amenities such as larger "wall-to-wall" screens, 4K projectors, 7.1 and/or positional surround sound systems (including Dolby Atmos), and higher-quality seating (such as leather recliners).

If the movement is too strong, you can make it more subtle, or even take a break from it altogether. The beauty of it is that even without the motion, the seats are extremely comfortable—a luxury in their own right.

Both offer large screen sizes and high-quality images, but 4DX provides more immersive effects while IMAX has better sound quality. Comfortability may also factor, as 4DX seats can recline and have built-in speakers, while IMAX theaters have traditional seating.

4DX films will not necessarily be presented in 3D. If the particular film is also presented with 3D, glasses will be required. 3D glasses are available to purchase in cinema for an additional $1.00, and are yours to keep and reuse on future visits.
