I saw my first RPX movie today (Skyfall at the UA Court Street in Brooklyn).

The first thing you notice is that the screen is huge. This just made me take a seat further back than I normally would. It just decreases the portion of the theatre in which I can comfortably enjoy a movie.

The sound was very good, but nothing different than I have experienced in the past. The claim is for "crystal clear all-digital projection" but isn't nearly all projection digital these days? RPX just seems like another ploy to get you to plunk down more money, but unlike 3D gives you nothing that's really different or better.

If I have a choice in the future, I will avoid the RPX upcharge. 

I watched my first RPX movie "After Earth" yesterday, on June 4th, Matinee. Cost was about the same as watching a 3D movie, so I wasn't annoyed at the cost. The local theatre had just finished upgrading to this new format, and I am pleased that they did.

The screen image, sound, and improved seat comfort really was quite nice and made the entire movie experience one of the best I have ever had. I don't go to many movies, I choose them very carefully. So when I go, it's very special, and I wasn't disappointed with the RPX theatre in any way! I think they did a great job! 

I'm an avid movie goer who usually prefers substance/character developement/story lines over unnecessary whiz-bang graphics so I'll only occasionally pay 3d or IMAX prices. WON'T PAY for RPX at that price.  

Add 4d to rpx. 

I went into my first RPX movie not knowing what the differences were supposed to be. Nothing about the seats stood out, the seats in the non-RPX are quite comfortable anyways. The screen may have been large, but I didn't notice it as anything special. The only thing I did notice was that the volume was turned up nearly twice as loud as a standard theater to the point where it was hurting my ears. Definitely not worth the price in my opinion. Even if it were the same price I'd avoid it. 

RPX was underwhelming at best. It was as though they added a tiny pinch of spice to a large casserole and the flavor didn’t change. The screen and sound was not very noticeably enhanced and the seats were very similar to regular. You can’t justify a nominal increase in quality for a significant increase in price. Sorry for the harshness Regal Cinemas but step your game up!
