Besides surround sound and 3D visual effects, Avatar 4D features added effects such as moving seats, laser lights and/or wind, and a host of other more “physical” features to immerse viewers into the film even more.

All in all, 30 different “real-life” effects combine to turn Avatar in 4D.  The cost of the “immersive” experiences: $15.80 per ticket.
