Imagine you fall down from a towering cliff. Imagine you destroy enemy warships as a pilot. And imagine you fight with sharks under the sea. You can have such exhilarating experience at the Rungna 4D Simulation Cinema of the Rungna People’s Recreation Ground in Pyongyang. “You can enjoy the taste of different circumstances in the sky and on land and sea at the Rungna 4D Simulation Cinema. We are now screening such new films as The End of Dinosaurian Era, At the Masikryong Ski Resort, Flyers in the Sky and Mad Mouse to draw more visitors,” said attendant Ri Su Hyang. According to her, the films are on the themes of joy and optimism, bravery and boldness, and horror and thrill, and many viewers prefer such rare horror films showing the end of the dinosaurian era. Visitors can choose films from the billboard at the entrance leading to each of five screening halls. They “experience” in horror and with tension the ecological environment and fights of animals in the dinosaurian era that existed on earth 150 million years ago and tingle with excitement as they “slide” along the narrow tracks on skis at the snow-covered Masikryong Ski Resort and “destroy” enemy warships aboard a bomber. They can also “fight” with predatory fishes in the Antarctic sea and “surf” huge waves on a raft as they sometimes rapidly slip past large rocks. “I have come to this cinema for the first time and seen three films. I felt the feeling that I, rather than viewing the films, am actually experiencing various situations thanks to different audio and visual effects and vibration and other movements on a special chair. It’s very great,” said Son Yong Chol, lecturer at Pyongyang University of Architecture. “My dream is to fly in the sky to my heart’s content. I felt like a pilot bombing enemy military base and waging dogfight,” said Song Kum Il, third-year student at Kuchon Technical Senior Middle School in Sariwon, North Hwanghae Province, who saw films at the cinema on his Pyongyang tour. The cinema is packed with visitors every day as it enables them to experience the thrill of virtual world. By Kil Chung Il PT
