Some movies just seem to have been made for viewing in Cineworld’s special formats – IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX and Superscreen – and one such film is Ne Zha 2, now showing at Cineworld. Directed by Jiaozi (aka Yu Yang), this sequel has not only broken records at the box office – it’s now the highest-grossing animated movie ever – but it’s also been getting incredible reviews from people who’ve seen it. The Guardian’s Phil Hoad hailed its “dazzling visuals”, Variety’s Carlos Aguilar described it as “breathtaking”, while Tasha Robinson of Polygon called it “an epic-sized tale designed for an epic-sized screen” – and, frankly, we agree with all of them.
However, this epic tale of demons and dragons – adapted from Chinese mythology – takes on a whole new dimension when viewed in one of our special formats, using cutting-edge technology to immerse viewers in the action unfolding on screen. Here, we highlight some of the ways in which IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX and Superscreen will transform your viewing experience.
Ne Zha 2 in IMAX
What do you get when you cross a giant screen with stunning dual projection and awesome, lifelike sound? IMAX, that’s what. Big, bold and beautiful, this incredible special format lends itself perfectly to an animated epic such as Ne Zha 2 – and people who’ve seen Yu Yang’s visionary feast in IMAX have been raving about it, with reviews including such phrases as “an incredible experience” and “absolutely jaw-dropping”.
Ne Zha 2 in 4DX / 4DX 3D
As you’ll see from the trailer above, Ne Zha 2 is stuffed with action – and watching the movie in 4DX or 4DX 3D, you’ll be right in the thick of it. Described as a “rollercoaster ride”, this breathtaking special format will see your seat move in sync with what’s happening on screen. So, let’s say a character is flying through the air or engaged in battle with fearsome monsters – you’ll feel realistic jerks and vibrations, giving you the sensation that you’re right there with them. 4DX provides a whole bunch of other sensory effects, too – including wind, water, strobe lighting and authentic smells – to immerse you in Ne Zha 2’s magical world.
Ne Zha 2 in ScreenX
Imagine Ne Zha 2’s awe-inspiring animation being not just on the screen in front of you, but on screens either side of you, too. That’s what you get with ScreenX – a thrilling 270-degree viewing experience that’s unique to Cineworld cinemas here in the UK. With the action unfolding across your entire field of view, you’ll be catapulted right into Yu Yang’s dream-like realm, an exhilarated onlooker as dragons soar and flames roar up, down, left and right.
Ne Zha 2 in Superscreen
“Where movies feel like masterpieces” is how we describe Superscreen, a format that marries state-of-the-art projection with breathtaking Dolby Atmos sound to make every frame of a movie a work of art. And no movie is better suited to Superscreen than Ne Zha 2 – with more than 4,000 people from 138 animation companies having worked on it, it deserves to be seen in its very best light.
