Director Martin Scorsese has said he is “concerned” that immersive and 3D screenings risk detracting from the quality of films.
In recent years, some cinemas have introduced immersive experiences for movies, often known as 4DX screenings.
These see audiences sit in chairs that move with the action, while water and smoke are used to enhance some scenes.
But Scorsese said such techniques can mean films “don’t necessarily work as well” when those elements are removed.
In 2019, Scorsese gave an interview to Empire magazine in which he likened the Marvel superhero movies to theme parks, prompting a debate in Hollywood about the artistic value of blockbusters.
