    HOYTS D-BOX Motion Recliners

    Feel the movie, take control

    HOYTS D-BOX Motion Recliners completely transforms the cinema experience as we know it, where every seat is a super comfortable motion recliner to take your movie experience to the next level.

    HOYTS D-BOX seats move in perfect sync with all the on-screen action, so that you can become fully immersed in the movie.

    The best part is, all seats have their own control panel, so that you can take control of your experience by personalising the intensity of the motion from low, medium and high. The result is an unparalleled experience that has literally changed the way people watch movies. So don’t just watch the action, be part of it.

    The safety of our guests is our biggest priority. See more information regarding the safety warning of the D-BOX experience and FAQs below.
