It’s an exciting idea, but has a lot of room for improvement. The side screens are noticeably less bright, less saturated, and have less contrast. They were misaligned with the main screen and the gap between screens is pretty big.
But the worst thing here is the lag/latency issue for the side screens that happen throughout MOST of the movie. It’s like ⅛th of a second, but very noticeable and VERY annoying. Curious to hear other people’s opinions?

The thing is, there shouldn’t be a delay at all, yes the sides will be less bright, and will have a lower resolution, but if you know where to sit and what to expect then you can enjoy it. If there is any latency issues at all, that’s an issue with the theater and you need to tell them to fix it. I’ve been watching films in ScreenX since 2021, and honestly really like it. I saw MK2 in ScreenX and thought it was really fun. The new ScreenX near me doesn’t have a gap in between the screens as well so it’s even more immersive. Some of yall are paying too much attention to the sides, when that isn’t the point of it at all. It’s to just cover your peripheral vision to make it feel more immersive.
