![]() ![]() My advice would be to ignore the bag altogether, and instead fold the Gemmy inflatable movie screen up into a large plastic box. ![]() You have to really fold it tightly and make sure there is no air left in it if you are going to get it back into the bag. Once it was completely deflated, I had to push some of the last bits of air out of it, and then get it back into the carry bag. You can leave these ones up in all weathers and not worry about rain or electricity. I’ve reviewed a free-standing movie screen recently, which you might want to consider – read that review here. That’s why you might want to consider a standing frame movie screen instead of an inflatable one. At the end of our movie night, I just wanted to get indoors and go to bed, so to go through this process was a little irritating. Once that was done, we turned the power off and watched the whole frame start to deflate.ĭeflating took around 20 minutes. The Deflating ProcessĪt the end of our movie night, we took the screen out first, because I wanted to roll that up, rather than fold it into the supplied carry bag. It uses 400w blowers (a pair of them), which are reasonably quiet I would say, and certainly not loud enough to ruin a movie experience – I go into a little more detail on the noise in the FAQs listed lower down in this review. These need to be running constantly, if you turn them off, the Gemmy deluxe inflatable movie screen is going to start coming down. And on the night of the movie itself, once dark, and projecting against the screen we couldn’t see any creases at all. ![]() After about an hour, those wrinkles had actually disappeared. The screen gets attached to the interior part of the inflated frame. Now I won’t lie, there was a little bit of movement to the screen, but not enough to mean the viewing experience was going to be negatively affected. We were pulling the cords tighter and moving the stakes around the grass to get the best result. Most of the set-up time was taken up by securing and tethering. The total set-up time was around 20 minutes (which we got down to 10 minutes the next time we used it. We pulled the tethers really tight, as it did bend a little bit at our first attempt – once tight though, all seemed good. Once it was inflated, we then had to use the stakes and tethers to secure it into the ground. This was the fun part, as for me and the kids watched the Gemmy deluxe screen slowly start to grow and inflate – this process took around 2 minutes. To get started, I made a space in my backyard, connected an electricity extension cable to the blowers (there’s a powerpoint on the frame), and turned it on.
