Exclusive in the UK to Cineworld, 4DX extreme cinema is a total sensory experience that means watching a film is more than just what you see and hear on screen, making for an incredibly visceral experience when heading to your local Cineworld to watch a film.
Unsure what to expect from a 4DX experience and want to know more? Here’s our guide to everything you need to know about 4DX cinema screenings in Cineworld.
What is 4DX Cinema in Cineworld?
4DX brings what you see on screen into the cinema with you. An extreme sensory experience, 4DX in Cineworld appeals to even more of your senses, including touch and smell, as well as catching you off guard with a seat that moves.
Replicating what you see on screen, an intergalactic fight could see strobe lighting, while wandering through a fantastical forest might mean you feel a light breeze and the smell of grass. Whatever movie you watch, 4DX makes it all the more immersive, making you feel like you’re literally there.
Effects include rain, wind, fog, snow, bubbles, and lightning, with a seat that moves in sync with what's playing out on screen.
What is a 4DX chair?
The 4DX chair is your passport to a spectacular new moviegoing experience, one showcasing 20 stunningly realistic effects. These include:
Rolling – race along the streets in car chases and run alongside your favourite characters
Twisting – feel your body move as the rollercoaster spectacle of your favourite comic book movies comes to life
Heaving – be catapulted into the air along with your favourite characters
Shaking – hold on as the teeth-rattling feel of latest disaster and action epics grips you
Pitching – feel the ascent and descent of movies that embark upon the high seas, or soar through the galaxy
Where is the best place to sit for a 4DX movie?
There's no bad seat in a 4DX auditorium as they all move along with the action. That being said, you'll be more engulfed by the fog and the bubbles closer to the front as that's where the machines are located, and you'll get a fuller experience of the rain right in the centre of the auditorium. You'll have to try it for yourself to decide where your favourite seat will be!
Is 4DX worth it?
Not every film gets the 4DX treatment, but the ones that do really make going to the cinema even more of an exciting event. It makes for an even more exciting and fun viewing experience, particularly if you’re heading to see any blockbusters with action-packed scenes that you’ll quite literally feel a part of.
Especially if you head to the cinema with family and friends, it just makes it a great group activity that you can laugh and scream through together – but not too much; don’t forget cinema etiquette!

What's the difference between 4DX and IMAX?
Both 4DX and IMAX offer unique, awe inspiring ways to experience some of the biggest upcoming releases. While IMAX is about delivering the most visually and audibly stunning movie, 4DX puts cinema-goers quite literally in the driving seat of the film.
A lot of films are available to watch in both formats (as well as the likes of Superscreen and ScreenX), so it really depends what you want from your viewing experience as both are incredible options. If you want something immersive, unique, and fun, 4DX is the way to go. IMAX is for those who want to sit back, relax, and really take in a film for the masterpiece that it is. And if it’s a Filmed for IMAX title, you’re basically obligated to watch it in IMAX (and book on to 4DX after!).
