Merrittonians who head to Kamloops to catch a flick on the big screen can now enjoy a more moving experience.
The Cineplex Odeon movie theatre in Aberdeen was recently renovated to accommodate new technology that moves the viewer’s seat during a film.
D-Box technology is touted as allowing viewers to “feel like you’re part of the action” in a motion seat designed to move with the movie.
Up, down and side to side — the technology has been picked up by the movie theatre franchise but is also promoted to gamers, museums and planetariums.
The Aberdeen Cineplex will have one theatre — No. 8, it’s biggest auditorium — equipped with two rows of the seats but it comes with a price.
General admission during primetime nearly doubles to $21.99, while kids ages three to 13 and seniors ages 65 and older will pay $18.50 and $18.99 each respectively.
Going to the movies has changed in recent years with D-Box technology building on the 3-D revolution. The Aberdeen location has five 3-D screens.
