LOS ANGELES, June 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Filmpalast Kino signed a new deal with CJ 4DPLEX (www.cj4dx.com), the world's leading cinema technology company, to bring the first-ever ScreenX theater and a new 4DX auditorium with the latest motion chair model to Kassel, Germany.

ScreenX is the world's first multi-projection theatre technology designed to enhance the movie-going experience. ScreenX allows the audience to go beyond the frame of the traditional movie screen, utilizing a proprietary system to expand select scenes of feature films and pre-show advertising to the left and right walls.

4DX enhances the on-screen visuals of action-packed blockbusters, transcending the traditional cinema experience through special effects including motion-synchronized seats, wind, fog, rain, lightning, snow, bubble, vibration, and scents. The result is one of the most innovative cinema formats in the industry, drawing fans into the action on the big screen.

Another point to look out for is that the 4DX auditorium in Filmpalast Kassel will be fully installed with the latest 4DX motion chairs that give the sensory overload with the most extreme 4DX motion technology to moviegoers. These are the latest and the most premium version of 4DX chairs, which are equipped with warm air effect and extra motions.

"We are very excited to be partnering with Filmpalast to open the very first ScreenX in Germany," said JongRyul Kim, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX. "We are incredibly happy to be working with such a great new partner in revolutionizing the cinematic landscape and we look forward to developing a long-lasting partnership with them in the years to come."

"4DX and ScreenX will both be part of a great and very innovative cinema project and concept we are launching in Kassel. We want to create a place for all moviefans, all generations and their passions for different genres. From young to old, for couples, singles, sound lovers, and adventurer but also for those who love the classical cinema experience," said Juliane de Boer, CEO of Filmpalast. "As a family company involving 2 generations and in a fast changing world we believe in traditional cinema but don't want to close our eyes to technical innovations and change. Welcoming two promising concepts from Korea in our company makes us more than proud and gives us confidence to bring our audience back to the theaters from their cozy and technically well-equipped living rooms."

Filmpalast 4DX will be the world's first 4DX auditorium with Extreme Motion Chairs completely packed for entire seats. Soon the moviegoers who seek out ever-more innovative movie experience can enjoy this latest 4DX motion technology in any of the seats in Filmpalast 4DX auditorium.
