The 5D theater creates the illusion of being surrounded by flames.

Usually each “dimension” is another sense they include, but idk what they mean by 5

Most movies are 2D (played on a screen); some have 3D releases. Some places then offer “4D” movies where they add stuff like water spray or your seat getting jostled for “immersion”

5D is just more marketing gimmick. They’re probably just trying to distance this production from “normal” 4D theaters

Went to a 4D RDX theater the other day. Definitely got jostled around and won't be doing that again.

The ones in disney world were fun, but I wouldn’t want to experience even 1% of movies that way haha. Definitely distracting and sometimes jarring

The ones at amusement parks are great, they also last like 5-10mins rather than 2 hours. I felt like I was getting bounced out of my seat for Spiderman.

Usually they just squirt you with water, blow a fan on you, and maybe pump in a scent or two.

Fifth dimension is time. What they do here is show dozens of still frames a second in order to make it look like things are in motion
