I know this is an old story from a few months back, however the changes in the way we see and hear movies is really something.

While this works best with blockbusters, we hope that one day the technology advances to add value to every film. Who doesn't need a personal space machine to push others away during Todd Solondz's latest surreal cinematic foray?
But for now, it's the big, showy something goes boom blockbusters, and the first flick you'll be able to experience this in is Batman V. Superman, opening on March 25th at Regal Union Square Stadium 14. This will be followed by a 4DX theater opening at the Regal E-Walk 13 on April 28th. These are the 3rd and 4th auditoriums in the whole United States to host 4DX screens.
