4D movies are headed to North America, bringing more than 1,000 new sensations to your movie watching experience, including the ability to smell.

The creation of South Korea’s CJ Group, the 4DX system takes your standard 3D movie experience to the next level using nozzles in the seats. While you’re watching a movie that mimics a trip out in the ocean, the nozzle might spray out a mist of water. Watching a movie about street racing? The nozzles might pump out the smell of burning rubber.

Seats in the theater are movable as well, so when a car crash happens on the screen it can also feel like it’s happening in your chair. Large fans positioned around the theater can make you feel like you’re caught in a windstorm, and massive lights located around the theater can be used to create huge flashes like you might see in a lightening storm.

Programming the 4D experience for a film can take close to a month, depending on how complex the 4D experience is for the film.

The CJ Group hopes to outfit 200 theaters in North America with 4DX technology over the next four years, starting with theaters in New York and Los Angeles.

A 4D film is expected to set you back an additional $8 at the box office over its 3D counterparts.
