How far will you go to watch Disney sequel Moana 2 at Cineworld? We're encouraging you to go further than usual and experience the visually luscious animated adventure in special formats IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX and Superscreen.
Auli'i Cravalho returns to voice the plucky Moana who is now chief of her tribe and mother to an adorable young girl. However, the peace and seclusion of Polynesia are threatened by an ancient curse, so Moana must take to the ocean again and save her people once and for all. Luckily, her literal and figurative wingman is back: fast-talking, irreverent demi-god Maui (Dwayne Johnson).
Expect gorgeous visuals and winning songs from Barlow and Bear in this epic Disney follow-up. Here's everything you need to know about each of the special format presentations at Cineworld.
Expand your horizons with Moana 2 in IMAX and IMAX 3D
Moana 2 demands to be seen in IMAX, which is set to enhance the film's visual and aural treasures from the interplay of light on the waves to the razor-sharp audio clarity of those all-important musical high notes.
IMAX upholds and enhances, in stunning clarity, the vision of Disney veterans Ron Clements and Dave Musker. Not only did they helm the first Moana but their pedigree stretches back to the Disney Renaissance classics The Little Mermaid (1989) and Aladdin (1992). As a fan, you'll surely want to do right by these animation experts and experience the movie in IMAX.
The IMAX remastering process, which favours a breathtaking, pin-sharp resolution, draws out both the aquamarine hues of the deep and mysterious ocean on which Moana is traveling. Larger than usual IMAX screens invite you to journey with the title character as she travels into uncharted waters.
This being a Disney movie, music is a critical part of the emotional canvas. IMAX's integrated sound and speaker system sharpens the pitch-perfect vocal performances of the actors as they deliver performances of the stirring news songs from the duo Barlow & Bear. You may know them best as the Grammy-winning duo behind The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical.
Hear more from the makers of Moana 2 in the following behind-the-scenes clip as he explains why the film needs to be experienced in IMAX. You can also enjoy some candid footage of the voice recording sessions and the recording of the soundtrack.
Feel the crash of the waves in multi-sensory 4DX
As with all Disney movies, Moana 2 is designed to be a tactile experience that practically invites you to reach out and interact with the environment. That's where 4DX comes in to take your viewing experience to the next level.
4DX is exclusive to Cineworld cinemas in the UK and Ireland. It's a unique multi-sensory proposition that promises to add greater layers of physical tangibility and immersion to your Moana 2 experience.
The 4DX motion-sensory seats move in time with the action, gently rolling along with the on-screen waves and employing wind, rain and scent effects to put you at the heart of the ocean. If you ever wanted to feel like Moana, now's your chance.
