Cineplex Charlottetown's new seats give moviegoers a high-tech experience

Charlottetown movie lovers can now take their film experience to the next level: Cineplex Cinemas has installed what are called D-Box chairs, which incorporate motion that reflect what's on the screen. 

"From blockbuster action movies to family features, D-BOX Motion Seats immerse our guests that much further into the movie-going experience," said Pat Marshall, vice-president of communications and investor relation, in a written release. 

The seats debuted in the Charlottetown cinema over the weekend, and are very popular in its 62 other locations that have incorporated them, she added.

"Movie fans across Canada love the fun and unique experience, and we look forward to providing it to our guests in Charlottetown," said Marshall.

Thirty-three D-BOX seats are available in the Charlottetown theatre's largest auditorium, number three.

Moviegoers can adjust the intensity of the movements with controls by the armrest.

It'll cost you

The full-body experience does come at a cost: $8.00 more per ticket, and the seats musts be reserved in advance.

The first film to have the seats in Charlottetown is The Legend of Tarzan. 

"This opening is further evidence of the popularity of D-BOX's experience and the appeal of its business model for exhibitors," added Claude McMaster, president and CEO of D-BOX Technologies Inc.in the release.

"In partnership with Cineplex, we are proud to offer the best quality immersive experience to all Canadians."
