Dreamworks’ live action How to Train a Dragon brings to life the isle of Berk – and the vikings and dragons that inhabit it – on June 9th. A perfectly timed release ahead of Father's Day (June 15th in case you forgot!), Cineworld is offering a great How to Train Your Dragon 4DX gift experience for 2 to get your teeth into (sorry, Toothless), including two 4DX tickets and two ponchos. Available online and at select Cineworld cinemas.
A fantasy movie that tackles both the hostile relations between the dragons and vikings, the story also delves into the relationship between Hiccup and his father Stoick the Vast.
On-screen father-son duo Gerard Butler and Mason Thames are here to tell Cineworld goers exactly how to survive watching How to Train Your Dragon in 4DX with top tips for fathers and kids alike.
Fireproof tips to survive watching How to Train Your Dragon in 4DX
Rule 1: Wear your poncho
One thing is almost certain when it comes to going to just about any 4DX screening: you’re going to get wet, so you’re best off protecting yourself with a poncho to ensure you don’t leave the cinema feeling damp and a little bit miserable – but still absolutely buzzing over the great movie you’ve just watched!
Rule 2: Hold onto your popcorn – the motion will test you
As a part of the sensory experience, 4DX seats are especially equipped to move and vibrate in sync with what’s happening on the screen. So make sure you hold onto your popcorn (or any other cinema snacks and drinks of your choosing). Otherwise you’re going to make a mess – and waste precious popcorn!
Rule 3: No screaming (or battlecries)
Just because a movie is in 4DX, doesn’t mean all cinema watching etiquette goes out the window. Also, let’s face it, How to Train a Dragon is for kids and adults alike, so, really how scary can it be?
Rule 4: Bubbles are magical, not fancy bath time
As well as a penchant for sending water flying and rocking your seat, don’t be surprised if a few bubbles appear during your 4DX screening of How to Train Your Dragon. In the words of Mason Thames, though, “Bubbles are magical. Not fancy bath time.” Remain hyper vigilant.
Rule 5: Don't ask Cineworld staff if you can turn down the effects
It's called extreme cinema for a reason! Embrace the effects, including every last tornado of wind, drop of rain, and magical, magical bubble.
The live action of How to Train a Dragon is definitely a great family movie that'll be a hit with all the family – especially your dad this Father's Day.
