I don’t know about 9D, but I once saw Avengers: Age of Ultron in 4D in a theater in Seoul, South Korea. It was a 3D film with moving seats, smells, and air that would blast in your face.
During a car chase, you could smell burning rubber, or close-ups of women would have a whiff of perfume or flowers. During a shootout, you’d get fine blasts of air on either side of your face, like bullets barely missing your head. If someone took a hit, the seats would jolt violently. It also poked you in the back if someone was hit from behind. Not to mention, flying in any aircraft felt like you were on a rollercoaster; the seats would raise and lower and tilt in all directions. It was pretty intense. Like being on one of those Universal Studios rides at their theme park, except for an entire film.
I saw day and the furious something like this. It was ok but not really worth it.
That sounds awful to experience as a customers, but also sounds like an awesome challenge to pull out convincingly for whoever created it.

That sounds horrible
Just wait till the sex scene.
Dr. Pepper, Dairy Milk, Double Bubble, Dots, diabetes, debt.
There were Dippin’ Dots vending machines in the mall… Like 4 of them. Do people really like Dippin’ Dots that much?
I mean, it is “the ice cream of the future”. From some 30-odd years ago. May want to check the expiration date on that.
They’re basically ice cream styrofoam. They probably last forever. And putting them in vending machines actually makes more sense than having a person handing out specific-size cups of the same 4 flavors in a mall kiosk.
That said, in the attached convention center, they had a Dippin’ Dots kiosk with a person handing out specific-size cups of the same 4 flavors. 🤷
Ds nuts
thats 2
Dotties Double D’s are 2 more…
I once went to the booth operator of the nearby “4D” theatre, and asked what the fourth dimension was.
Near as we could figure. It was water. The theatre sprayed you with water (probably a mist or something) as the “4th dimension”.
I did not buy a ticket to the show.
Ive been in a couple of these and usually 4d means 3d movie with a combination of added physical effects in the room, common are
- spray mist
- blow wind
- moving/shaking chairs
Most fancy ive seen was the roof fake collapsing
As a novelty attraction in an amusement there quite fun but i cant see it worth much of a premium over already overpriced movie tickets.
Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge, dude.
Is it “necessary” for me to drink my own urine?
Just two more dimensions and they will solve String Theory!
Dodge, duck dip, dive and dodge.
Well you’ve got hight, width, depth of course. As for the other six, you’ve got: time, parallel, perpendicular, alternate, Disney, and fnord.
You make a good point, all movies are three dimensions (height, width, time), while some have the illusion of a fourth (depth).
All movies are 3D.
Are you… sure you want to know?
Like at some point, after your standard 5 (vision, sound, touch, taste, & smell), those dimensions gotta start wrapping back around to where they started. And at that point they must have to go THROUGH your tissues to do it.
I am saying that one of them surely is an electrified butt-plug. So that’s six, and after that… that’s where shit REALLY starts to get freaky!
I’m not sure you know what dimensions are… but then neither did whoever made this mall attraction.
Also, come on, you show Pinhead but it isn’t Doug Bradley?
Let’s not even go into whoever they dropped in after he left the tattered franchise. Oddly enough, the Hulu reboot/continuation(?) wasn’t that bad. Further note, it’s weirdly connected to an upcoming tenforward post I’m slapping together.
If you want another connection between Hellraiser and Star Trek, Doug Bradley’s name was on the tip of my tongue and it just wasn’t coming to me, so I looked up Pinhead on Wikipedia.
Pinhead was voiced by Fred Tatasciore- Lower Decks’ own Shaxs- in 2011’s Hellraiser: Revelations. He only did the voice, but there’s a link for you.
Yup, saw that one earlier when i discovered there were a couple more entries to the franchise prior to the Hulu one. New line needs to drop their attachment almost as bad as Sony to Spider-Man. Almost.
These marketing gimmicks are fairly uh… “broadly inclusive” in their definitions of terms (whatever makes them the most money).
But you are right, that choice was unforgivable. My image seems to have caused you… pain?
Thus, mission failed spectacularly! :-)
The last sentence, exactly.
Believe it or not, in certain contexts, this is an appropriate use of dimension. Dimensions can be thought of as parameters, essentially. In 3d space, you have 3 parameters, length, width, and height. Add in time and you have 4d spacetime. From there, if you’re defining a system with more parameters, it’s a higher dimensional space. A movie with 3 spatial dimensions, then programmed smell releases, like someone else mentioned, would then be 4 dimensions: l,w,h,s. The reality is, it’s a bit silly and definitely a marketing gimmick to refer to your movie experience as “9d”, but it’s not entirely incorrect.
But senses aren’t dimensions…
That depends (on whether they can make money or not by pretending that they are).
This could be an SCP or something lol, like you go in and are subjected to 6 additional dimensions of reality and go insane
1D6 psychic damage from how disappointing this will be.
Found it!
TIL “laser” and “wind” are dimensions…
Sounds like they got a six demon bag in there.
What else would they be?
Kind of concerned that fire is one of them
Watching 9D Aliens and you get absolutely burnt to a crisp when Ripley fires the flamethrower. Turns out the final D is Death.
Seifenblasen? Deren ernst?
The golden age of fart comedy is here.

Shnee? I could hoovers some shnee. I’m surpriseds I’m not hooverings some shnee rights now’s.
My guess is a 3D movie mixed with a 6DoF motion setup. 9D still sounds stupid though.

I just like the email. I read it as 9 Dad Venture.
like 9gag but solely with dad jokes
A movie theater company using Gmail? 🤣
It’s not a movie theater. There are these little tiny pods you sit in with VR goggles. Goggles god knows how many other people have worn that day.
Maybe that’s the what the other 6D are. The D stands for diseases.
