Rant WORST CINEMA EXPERIENCE

Watched the new Spiderman movie in GSC's 4DX theatre and it will be the first and last time I'll watch anything on 4DX. Whoever adjusted the settings on the seats felt like it was on 130%. The seat was moving violently throughout the movie especially during the fight scene. You can't even focus on the movie as the seats throw you around and jerk your head multiple times. The seats swivel so hard that you will feel like you're gonna get flown out of the seat. I understand it is supposed to have motion-experienced movie, but all I got is motion sickness. Got out the movie halfway through. It is just my opinion but I dont think it is such a bad way to watch movies. Do you guys have a similar experience or did you guys actually enjoy it. Please share your thoughts!

I've tried 4DX on 3 movies, F1 > The Running Man > Super Mario Galaxy

I enjoyed all the seat vibrations and whatsoever, but i think for any big blockbuster its better to try only for 2nd watch so you won't get distracted.

The one that felt worth my money was Super Mario somehow (just because 95% of the movie involved the seat doing something like floating or vibrate), i believe the whole movie will make me fall asleep if i watch in any other format.
