Is it worth seeing Dr Strange in 4DX? ›

4Dx wise, it was a lot of fun. 4DX can be great for the right movie and it can make the experience more like a theme park ride. The quality/quantity of the 4DX effects varies by film.

I saw it in a Dolby theater, IMAX 3D and 4DX (shut up, I've got the time and I love movies, leave me alone), and the 4DX experience was honestly thrilling. It felt like a 2 hour long Disney ride.
