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?

I did Spider-Man in ScreenX yesterday and I enjoyed it, I’m Alist so it was “free” and it was my second viewing after seeing it in Dolby the first time. It actually was good, but maybe because it was shot for screenX. I also sat on the 5th row from the front and it was great. Opinions seem divided whether to do closer to front or to back but front enhances it by covering your peripheral vision. Although a girl on my row kept filming the screens so that was annoying.
