Shall We Experience "Emergency Declaration" in 4DX?

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The aviation disaster film Emergency Declaration (director Han Jae-rim) offers a cinematic experience that can be felt in theaters.

On the 8th, CJ 4DPLEX announced that starting August 3rd, Emergency Declaration will be screened in all formats of the ScreenX, 4DX, and 4DX Screen special theaters.

Invited to the non-competitive section of the 74th Cannes Film Festival, Emergency Declaration depicts the story of a plane that declares an unconditional landing due to an unprecedented aviation terror and the people confronting the disaster. The film stars Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun, Jeon Do-yeon, and Im Si-wan, with director Han Jae-rim, known for The Face Reader and The King, at the helm.

The special theater screenings maximize the film’s strengths with ScreenX’s expanded field of view, projecting on three sides of the screen: left, center, and right. In particular, it conveys the tension of a zero-gravity situation that became uncontrollable due to an unexpected terror and the suffocating atmosphere inside the cabin.

The 360-degree rotating zero-gravity cabin scene revealed in the trailer has drawn comparisons to the zero-gravity rotating fight scene, one of the iconic moments in the film Inception. The zero-gravity scene realized through ScreenX, spanning the wide three-sided screen, immerses the audience in a sky-high zero-gravity state as if they were actually on the plane.

Additionally, the pilot view encountered in the cockpit, a restricted and unknown space off-limits to unauthorized personnel, offers a unique experience of directly observing the sky from the first row of the aircraft’s cockpit. The special theaters also present a wide-open sky view at various times of day, including daytime, nighttime, the deep darkness of dawn, and the golden hour tinted by sunset.

The 4DX format delivers an intense experience with dynamic motion chairs that move up, down, left, right, forward, and backward, along with environmental effects such as fog, air shots, and lights that make urgent situations feel even more realistic. It dynamically recreates the critical moments when the aircraft accelerates rapidly and shakes.
