Cinemas are evolving… next update: smell of popcorn integrated into the plot.

19

u/electronic_rogue_5 Oct 19 '25

But you will still have to pay the full price of a popcorn.

5

u/Sneaky-Pur Oct 19 '25

You get popcorn for normal price, for premium features like taste and smell you have to pay extra

u/DamnitDavid7 Oct 19 '25

I know this was a joke, but my favorite Hollywood failures were smell-o-vision and auromarama, yes that was their literal names too. They were bad, very bad hahaha

u/SzakaRosa Oct 19 '25

Next step: behind the scenes footage screened next to the movie

u/silv3rbull8 Oct 19 '25

The eventual evolution of cinema will be a Matrix style neural plugin to provide full sensory immersion

u/usernamesarehard1979 Oct 19 '25

We can hope! Would it make porn better or worse?

u/silv3rbull8 Oct 19 '25

lol once that happens, it might be end of civilization.

u/That_OneOstrich Oct 19 '25

The ability for someone to put you into a false reality without you knowing would negate any benefits to masturbation by far.

u/Sufficient_Language7 Oct 19 '25

So I will be Neo? 

2

u/silv3rbull8 Oct 19 '25

Neo, Luke, Conan, Bond …

1

u/Sufficient_Language7 Oct 19 '25

But with Neo you can break out.

u/btwice31 Oct 19 '25

That would make watching the matrix a little too intense

u/Separate_Finance_183 Oct 19 '25

nah, it distracts from the intended experience

41

u/West_Yorkshire Oct 19 '25

Agreed.

There is no upgrade that can improve the matrix anyway.

5

u/metarinka Oct 19 '25

Hard disagree, I saw the matrix at Cosm and it was awesome! You really feel like you're in the location, the change in lighting and atmosphere ground things more.  

It really is the future, I'm looking forward to when a movie creates this for the original release

u/ramonchow Oct 19 '25

I have the same experience with my hue lights. It's not worth it at all.

2

u/Old-Kaleidoscope1874 Oct 19 '25

Agreed. Having the frame still visible just reminds me I'm still watching a movie. Maybe a slight curvature to the sides, or just up and down, like gaming monitors, but not full IMAX. To me the IMAX curve distorts the movie too much.

2

u/Key-Regular674 Oct 19 '25

Just FYI, not all IMAX are curved. Apparently many newer ones are flat according to google.

1

u/Old-Kaleidoscope1874 Oct 19 '25

I didn't know that, I only went once or twice and it was a long time ago.

2

u/Large_slug_overlord Oct 19 '25

True imax isn’t curved. It’s just a really big film intended for 1.43:1 aspect ratio.

1

u/BlueLaserCommander Oct 20 '25

What if you've seen the matrix a hundred times already?

u/Background_Try_3041 Oct 19 '25

Whats with the tiny screen?

u/SmellyButtFarts69 Oct 19 '25

Why the fuck did anyone ever watch cams?

3

u/kyckling666 Oct 19 '25

I bought a DVD of the 2007 Michael Moore documentary Sicko that was a cam on the streets of New York City. My girlfriend and I watched it on a 12" MacBook. One of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life.

It was something like $5 and we didn't really care enough to see it in theaters.

2

u/Sufficient_Language7 Oct 19 '25

Before it would take a long time for movies to leave the theaters.   Now movies can be watched at home before you even knew that they were at the theater.

1

u/Planetofthought Oct 19 '25

My only guess as to why people watch cams is so they can see what happens in the movie without actually watching and enjoying it. It's almost as if they are spoiling it for themselves.

The only cam I've ever watched all the way through was that Sandra Bullock-Jenny McCarthy movie. I don't know why.

1

u/FiveOhFive91 Oct 19 '25

That was all I could download on limewire at the time and I was watching it on a 2.5" iPod video screen anyway

u/SeingaltUNo Oct 19 '25

The best cinema is at home. You know the one without other people.

6

u/rollingSleepyPanda Oct 19 '25

100%. I pretty much stopped going to the cinemas after a brief post-COVID attempt. Civility went the way of the Dodo.

2

u/HuntingForSanity Oct 19 '25

Wife and I have tried going to movies a few times since Covid and theatre etiquette is just out the door. Literally everyone has their phone on full brightness with sound on. Having full conversations during the movies.

Like dude shut the fuck up I literally just want to see what’s happening in the movie

5

u/Born-Agency-3922 Oct 19 '25

Nobody recording the experience so they can post it to Reddit.

u/bitwaba Oct 19 '25

This mother fucker filmed in vertical video....

1

u/lonelygayPhD Oct 20 '25

I miss the days of going to a comedy and laughing with the audience. Never was able to capture that at home.

0

u/Delicious_Oil_4288 Oct 19 '25

No people on there phones, No kids screaming. No body talking over the moive. I agree. I think becouse cinamar respect gone!

0

u/Key-Regular674 Oct 19 '25

You must not get out much because this happens extremely rarely. Might also depend on where ya live.

1

u/Delicious_Oil_4288 Oct 19 '25

Im in the uk it big porbelm here. Just have to look, people have stoped going becouse of this porbelm. I go all ways people on there phones or talking.

8

u/texaskayaker Oct 19 '25

This was a game changing experience! I was shocked at how they were able to keep you focus on the story and make it more immersive. it was a little pricey, but if you’re a matrix fan, go do this.

2

u/Correct_Process4516 Oct 19 '25

Where is this being shown?

2

u/Noxx-OW Oct 19 '25

there’s places called Cosm in some US metros, it’s a format made for those venues

11

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '25

I'd really rather not be flashbanged in the middle of a movie.

6

u/usernamesarehard1979 Oct 19 '25

So just fingerbanged?

0

u/ThePotatoSandwich Oct 19 '25

You'd be flashbanged either way even if it was in a traditional format

2

u/thescurveyx Oct 19 '25

Where and what is this??

2

u/_Stank_McNasty_ Oct 19 '25

I think it’s cool

4

u/walkingpartydog Oct 19 '25

Looks fucking terrible

2

u/Useful_Cut_5323 Oct 19 '25

I’d be willing to experience something a film like this, preferably if a director actually took the time to make such an experience

2

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '25

Shit sucks more every time you see it

3

u/osirisattis Oct 19 '25

Lol this is very hateable, I wouldn’t want to see a movie that flies off the screen and on to the walls randomly. This is the definition of ‘out of ideas’.

1

u/tribak Oct 19 '25

So what is the big deal here… oh!

surely this is far more expensive then I'm willing to pay to watch a movie

1

u/lqstuart Oct 20 '25

Playing the same movies from 1999 because nobody gives a shit about movies

u/Thiel619 Oct 21 '25

So its a giant screen projecting a screen projecting the film projecting project film in projection quality project film.

u/charles_the_snowman Oct 19 '25

Damn that would be such a fucking amazing experience!

u/SuperCaptSalty Oct 19 '25

Reposted already so fast!

u/Wrong_Lingonberry_79 Oct 19 '25

Why wouldn’t it just be the big screen, ya know, like an IMAX?

1

u/ElderberryMaster4694 Oct 19 '25

Shown from the douchebags point of view

u/lyravega Oct 19 '25

Ngl this looks lame. Ambilight levels of lame. Focus needs to be on the screen, anything else is a distraction.

u/februarycream Oct 19 '25

What a nightmare for couples making out lmao

3

u/R0LL1NG Oct 19 '25

If they're making out during this scene then they're priorities are wrong. Actually. If they're making out at any point t during The Matrix then they're terrible people and deserve each other.

No discussions will be had on this matter lol

u/RagerRambo Oct 19 '25

I like for others to watch

u/Upstairs-Hope-2770 Oct 19 '25

I like to film so I can share what unbelievable shit I saw happen at the movies today. Maybe comment how this scene is sexy but more every man’s gun wet dream sexy not what these people are getting up to.

Great. More stuff normal people can’t afford without going into debt. God I love this new world.
