Ride or Die

We sat down in the 8 person-seater theatre in front of a curved screen waiting for the inevitable. Our palms got sweaty while the screen loaded and then we were in. Our seats tossed us around, zombies flew out of the screen and towards us, the incredible sound system overwhelmed our senses and some members of our team soiled themselves. Actually, it was just Waleed.

3D is cool but after experiencing 7D I can safely say, I wish all movies were this interactive. I wish Twinkies were this interactive. Of course we didn’t have Emma Stone to accompany us on our journey, but we did get guns, and we kinda like using them. Most importantly, the experience finally answered the all-consuming question of who would survive a Zombie Apocalypse. Because as we descended from this ride-come-to-life-experience, our scores were tallied and I was declared the winner. As it should be.

Of course, sometimes it’s not just about winning but the experience itself. And this experience – with all its blood, sweat, tears and bodily functions – brought us, as a team, closer together. Except for Waleed, we don’t care for Waleed anymore. So grab your friends and find out which one you don’t care for while shooting at things.
