It's Not the Size of the Screen, It's the Motion in the Seats

While there has been a bit of a kerfuffle today regarding swindling theaters passing off merely semi-large screens as IMAX-sized, we are happy to report that when it comes to Austin crowds, theaters know how to please.

The word around town (specifically from Chris Garcia at the Statesman) is that come May 21st, the Galaxy Highland will have a brand new technology, only released last March, which bears the unfortunate name of D-Box (immediately making us think of "D-Bag", a horse of a completely different color). D-Box replicates the motion happening on screen, frame-by-frame, in each and every theater seat. You will, allegedly, feel like you are actually in the movie. We are guessing that a million parents are throwing up their hands in anguish at the thought of it, as no amount of Ritalin is going to bring their children down off such sensory overload.

We are chomping at the proverbial bit to experience this newest addition to the—now literally—rockin' Austin movie theater experience, which is only the third installation of its kind in the world. If Galaxy Highland knows what's good for them (and their janitors) we recommend a new Happy Meal of sorts that involves Popcorn, a Coke and a side of Dramamine.
