Filmax Gran Vía 4DX becomes the largest flight simulator with the arrival of 'Top Gun: Maverick 4DX'

Cinemas Filmax Gran Vía 4DX (Barcelona) has made a special pass of Top Gun: Maverick, one of the most anticipated releases of the year with immersive 4DX technology.

Developed in South Korea by the company CJ 4DPlex, 4DX technology arrived a few years ago to revolutionize the entertainment industry, which landed in Catalonia with Cines Filmax Gran Vía 4DX in 2018.

With 4DX, cinema is not seen, but rather experienced and the viewer is another character in the action thanks to 21 synchronized special effects that activate their five senses. Movement, water, air, heat effect, vibrations, aromas, and a long etcetera transform the stalls into a film set. At Filmax Gran Vía you can also enjoy a room with an immersive triple screen, the ScreenX.

The presenter has been the master of ceremonies and has had the opportunity to learn more about everything that this technological innovation provides with Jaime Tarrazón, CEO of Cines Filmax Gran Vía 4DX, who highlighted the spectacular nature of the 4DX experience. “There is no better room to enjoy Top Gun than the 4DX. Thanks to its chases, adrenaline and action, it is the perfect room to live the experience with all its effects.”

The new installment is the sequel to the original film starring Tom Cruise, which shows Maverick 30 years later. The protagonist continues to be one of the best aviators training and educating new generations. Top Gun It marked an entire generation that fell in love with its protagonists, vibrated with the spectacular flight scenes, and wore some of Maverick's iconic pieces such as his aviator jacket or the RayBan Aviator 3025 sunglasses.

During the talk prior to the pass, one of the pilots highlighted the sensations during the flight, the captain Rodrigo Pérez Bilbao, a motorcycle enthusiast like Maverick, compared the sensations of speed and motor to hunting flight. For his part, Captain Juan Bengoechea Vara de Rey, son of an F18 pilot and now also an instructor, after his first experience with the 4DX confirmed that the similarities with the sensations during the flight are real.

The lieutenant Elena María Gutiérrez Vidal, the first woman to pilot a Eurofighter aircraft in the Air Force, explained her experience as one of the six women in the Air Force, inspired at 26 years old by her own colleagues.
