Have you experienced the world of 40-meter wind speed? 30 years after the release of the movie, "Mobile Police Patlabor the Movie 4DX" opens in theaters on July 17 (Friday)! Report on the advance experience!

Thirty years after its release in 1989, the animated film "Mobile Police Patlabor the Movie" will be revived in 4DX specifications!

Genco Corporation, which manages the rights to the "Mobile Police Patlabor" series, and United Cinemas Corporation, operator of multiplexes such as United Cinemas and Cineplex, have decided to screen the animated film "Mobile Police Patlabor the Movie 4DX" on July 17, 2020 (Friday), marking the 30th anniversary since its release in 1989. The company has decided to screen "Mobile Police Patlabor the Movie 4DX" on Friday, July 17, 2020, marking the 30th anniversary of the film's release in 1989.

4DX is a state-of-the-art interactive (4D) movie screening system in which motion seats move back and forth, up and down, left and right in accordance with the movie scene, and rain and wind blow during scenes such as storms. The theater also flashes when thunder rumbles, and bullets grazing the cheeks are reproduced by a powerful gust of wind. The realistic aroma and smoke from the film will enliven the atmosphere. ...... is an attraction-style screening system that allows the audience to enjoy the film with their entire body.

The movie "Mobile Police Patlabor the Movie" is a masterpiece among masterpieces, full of scenes that were prepared for 4DX, such as speedy action scenes and the climax scene that takes place in a typhoon with wind speeds of 40 meters!

So I had a chance to experience "Mobile Police Patlabor the Movie 4DX" before the readers.


I was delighted to see the sharp and sharp 4DX performance!

The first highlight scene of "Mobile Police Patlabor the Movie" is the capture scene of the runaway prototype Reaver at the beginning. The ever-changing situation and the tension-filled background music synchronized with it make for an impressive scene, but in 4DX it instantly transforms into a powerful attraction.

When the prototype Reaver goes out of control, the seats shake and the theater is enveloped in a dazzling light when the searchlight is used to spot the enemy. When the Self-Defense Force Reavers fire a volley of shots, the wind blows off your cheeks with great force!

Wow! This is amazing! If they shoot bullets at you like this, you'll be a beehive of bees. ......

The audience was immediately baptized by the 4DX system.

The 4DX was also used to great effect in the subsequent scene in which the Special Vehicle Section 2 takes control of the rampaging Reavers in the downtown area. In the scene where Ingram is lifted up, realistic vibrations shake the seats.

Too much fun. ......, too much fun, 4DX!

I felt like Akira Izumino.

The 4DX effects are perfectly set during the action and mechanical scenes, and they make you feel excited. On the other hand, during the conversation scenes and the search scene for Detective Matsui and his team, which you want to see more carefully, the 4DX effects are less intense and do not interfere with the immersion of the story.

Some 4DX movies make viewers move their seats slowly even during conversation scenes, which sometimes makes the audience feel like they are in the middle of the action. This is a good decision.

It is a nice decision. Thanks to this, the audience can enjoy the film with a sense of balance.

In addition, the "4DX" version of the film was screened with a sound renewal version. Thanks to this, the sound effects are of a higher quality, which adds color to the 4DX presentation.

The realistic rainstorm is a painful experience! The Ark dismantling scene at the climax is a must-see for fans!

The film has now passed the turnaround point, and the stage is finally set for "To the Promised Land" - or rather, the Ark dismantling mission.

In the last part of the film, the "Ark," an offshore platform for reavers built in Tokyo Bay, is the stage for battles with countless work reavers and the dismantling of the Ark as a typhoon with wind speeds of over 40 meters approaches. If you have read this far, you can probably guess what I mean right away.

In the last few minutes of the film, it rains in the theater, a storm blows, the seats shake, and when the Ark is dismantled, they are shaken up, down, left, right, and center.

I had expected this kind of direction before the screening, but in fact, it was even more excessive than that, and I could do nothing but laugh!

It was interesting that by the time the closing song "Into the Morning Sun" came on, a strange sense of solidarity had somehow developed among the audience. Yes, we were all members of the Special Vehicle Section 2 who had experienced the 40-meter wind speeds!

So, "Mobile Police Patlabor the Movie 4DX" is a must-see attraction for all fans of the movie, as it allows you to actually experience the "dismantling of the Ark in 40-meter wind speeds" that until now you could only imagine.

Finally, here are some comments from the people involved in the film who actually experienced "Mobile Police Patlabor the Movie 4DX!

Masami Yuki (original idea and author of the manga version)

It's been a while since I saw this movie, but it was still fun! I hope that anyone who is interested in this work will take a look at it.

■Akemi Takada (character designer)

Please get your windbreakers and eyeglass wipes ready to watch it (laughs). You will burn and get wet from the opening!

Toshio Furukawa (Yuuma Shinohara)

It was very powerful. I've seen "PATLABOR" many times, but it's still interesting. On the big screen, you can see things you've missed even though you've seen it many times, and it's interesting to rediscover things.

I experienced the world of 40-meter wind speed! Many "Patlabor" fans are maniacs, but I think even they will enjoy it anew when they see it in 4DX. I hope many people will see it.

Michihiro Ikemizu (Isao Ota)

(It's been 31 years (since the first release). I was surprised. It's very powerful. This time it was shaking and raining (laughs). (Laughs.) I didn't know they could do this kind of thing now. I couldn't even imagine it when I was making it. I think you can experience a new world, so please look forward to it.
