How To Train Your Dragon in 4DX Cineworld enlists Gerard Butler

  • EXCLUSIVE HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON GIFT FOR 2 IN 4DX
  • FATHER’S DAY GIFT INCLUDES 2 4DX TICKETS AND 2 PONCHOS
  • BUTLER SAYS “I’M SCOTTISH. FEAR’S NOT IN MY VOCABULARY.”

This Father’s Day, Cineworld is giving Dads the full hero treatment – with the launch of its first-ever 4DX gift experience, made for fathers who thought they were brave… until their seat started moving.

Available to buy now in 4DX cinemas and online, Cineworld’s Father’s Day gift box includes two 4DX tickets and a pair of ponchos. How to Train Your Dragon, now reimagined in a breathtaking live-action format, soars into 4DX with fire-breathing effects, like air bursts in front and behind, sudden drops, windstorms and water sprays. Because nothing says bonding like braving a splash zone together in matching ponchos.

You’ll want to hold onto your popcorn too, because the motion will test you, especially when you’re dodging mid-air dragon battles. Just don’t let Dad ask the Cineworld team if they can “turn down the effects” (spoiler: they can’t).

This Father’s Day, take Dad on the adventure of a lifetime with How to Train Your Dragon in 4DX – only at Cineworld. 4DX launches you into the skies with swooping seat movements that track every aerial battle, and environmental effects that whip from fire to fog. Just make sure Dad doesn’t toss any of his popcorn in the air, as dragons might mistake it for a snack.

To prepare the nation, Cineworld has dropped a video guide featuring Gerard Butler and his young co-star, Mason Thames, who offer survival tips on how to train your dad in 4DX.

Gerard Butler declared “I’m Scottish, fear’s not in my vocabulary.” before being rocked, shaken and sprayed in his seat, with a death grip on the armrest.

Give Dad a Father’s Day he won’t forget with the 4DX Gift experience for 2 – and remind him there’s no need to give his seat a pep talk before it starts moving. As for the bubbles? They’ll arrive when the dragons see fit.

Grainne Clarke, Head of Corporate Sales & Partnerships at Cineworld, said: “With two 4DX tickets and matching ponchos, our Father’s Day 4DX Gift Experience is part bonding exercise, part survival test – just enough splash to test Dad’s bravery and see who flinches first.

“Expect airborne popcorn, dragon breath, and a cinema seat with a mind of its own. This is extreme cinema – not for the faint-of-heart. Or faint-of-poncho.”

4DX Gift experience for 2 is available now while stocks last – in Cineworld 4DX foyers or online at Cineworld.com

Not sure your Dad can handle the thrill of 4DX?

We’ve got more heroic gift ideas – from a Cineworld Gift Card (with a FREE How To Train Your Dragon Gift Wallet, when bought in-cinema) to a 3-Month Unlimited Gift for all the upcoming summer blockbusters! Available in-cinema and online. 

Cineworld announces new Minecraft Screenings for Hardcore Fans

‘Chicken Jockey Screenings’ in 4DX

Whoop, yelp and clap your way through this block-busting adventure

Level up your experience of A Minecraft Movie with Cineworld’s “Chicken Jockey Screenings” – exclusively in 4DX. This special one-day event will be taking place in Cineworld 4DX screens nationwide on Sunday, April 13th.

For these screenings, Cineworld is encouraging fans to dress up, whoop, yelp and clap their way through this block-busting adventure, because every scene in 4DX deserves a standing ovation.

4DX is an extreme cinema experience which is only available at Cineworld, and features motion seats, wind blasts, water spray, aromatic scents, fog, bubbles and more. It pairs perfectly with the raucous experience that fans are demanding – a chance for likeminded Minecrafters to fully immerse themselves in the mayhem with 4DX effects elevating the experience to the next level.

The motion seats will have you bouncing like a baby zombie on a chicken – a ride you’ll never forget.

Casey Cohen, Head of Marketing at Cineworld said: “We’ve launched these Chicken Jockey screenings in 4DX for fans who’ve been demanding a more interactive experience – where the action on screen and the energy in the room collide like a TNT explosion.

“This is an immersive, ground-shaking, chicken-bouncing, multisensory rollercoaster ride … with popcorn! Minecrafters will feel every buck, sway and water blast in unison, while whooping and cheering together from the comfort of their moving seats. It’s hands down, the most fun you’ll ever have in a cinema – and probably the only time you’ll ever cheer for a chicken jockey.”

A note from Cineworld (and Steve):

Hey hey hey, blockheads!

We know you’re excited. We’re excited. The whole Overworld is excited! Watching Minecraft on the big screen is meant to be a blast – a cinematic diamond pickaxe to the brain! But even in a world made of blocks, there are some rules we don’t break.

So here’s the deal:

Build excitement? Absolutely. LOL with friends till you’re rolling in the aisles? Totally. But please don’t go full Creeper in the auditorium.

You cannot film anything that’s on the screen – that’s piracy, folks, and unlike lava, we will come after you for it. And remember to leave the cinema looking like a well-built base, not like it got griefed by a bunch of Endermen. No mess please, just good clean fun.

Book your tickets now for A Minecraft Movie – they’ll sell out faster than you can say “CHICKEN JOCKEYYYYY!”
