To put the icing on top of this awful cake, the cushion of the chair was essentially nonexistent. The seat did not recline one bit, so I felt like I was being forced to sit straight up at a 90-degree angle for the entirety of the movie. I am not exaggerating when I say that the D-Box seat that I paid about twice the price of my normal seat to sit in was one of the most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in. I think I probably could live with both of those gripes if it wasn’t for D-Box’s greatest atrocity, the comfort of the seats. Just when I get adjusted and reconnected with the movie, I catch them out of the corner of my eye, and then it’s all that I can see for the next 10 minutes. Well, my OCD was going crazy at the bright LEDs at my side throughout the whole movie. I’m that high maintenance when it comes to movies.

I understand the need to have the exit signs in every movie theater to be lit the entire time the movie is going, but that still doesn’t make up for the fact that it annoys me. Now, I’m the kind of guy that likes it to be pitch black while I’m watching a movie. Adjacent to these buttons is an LED indicator that illuminates your seat number. On each seat is a couple of buttons that allow you to adjust your desired level of motion. Next on my list of complaints is the light emitted from the control panel. I wanted to be systematic about my assessment, so I opted for the complete D-Box experience and turned my chair’s motion all the way up, and I have to say, for the first couple of minutes it was very distracting.Īfter I got used to it, the motion and vibration of the D-Box seat were actually kind of cool, and if it weren’t for its other crippling flaws, I may have considered doing it again. Now that I’ve seen a movie in D-Box seating, I know for a fact that I will never do it again. I was seeing “Ad Astra” to review for the paper, and I wasn’t too invested in my experience of seeing that movie, so I thought that it would be a good time to try it out.
#DBOX SEATS NEAR ME UPGRADE#
This is an expensive upgrade that I only tried out for the first time this past weekend. When you pay for D-Box seating, it is advertised that you can get more immersed in the movie you are watching because the seat that you are sitting in vibrates and actually movies along with the action on screen.
Since I have to do a movie review each week, I am comfortable with most of the ins and outs of the theater, but there was always one thing that I had never tried: D-Box seating.įor those of you who don’t know, D-Box is a premium seating option that is offered at many movie theaters. For years, I have been going to the Tinseltown movie theater here in Erie.
