“Frozen 2” in 4DX will feature the snow effect to enhance the winter theme, and as the adventure leads Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and crew away from Arendelle, 4DX will also add rain, fog, wind and scents highlighting the journey into new lands.
“Ford v Ferrari” in 4DX will capture the rapid swerves and turns of two legendary race cars – the Ford GT40 and the Ferrari P3 – zooming across the speedway through 4DX motion + vibration, plus heave, pitch and roll mimicking the thrilling and unpredictable drifting and braking motions. 4DX will intensify the breakneck speed and adrenaline of the racing sequences in the legendary showdown between Ford and Ferrari.
“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” in the motion enhanced seats of 4DX will take audiences to “a galaxy far far away” mimicking the sense of spacecrafts blasting into hyperspace with 4DX’s perfectly calibrated motion design. As lightsabers swish and zing in battle, 4DX strobe + vibrations will highlight the sensations during all the battle sequences in this conclusion to the epic Skywalker saga.
“We are incredibly excited to be collaborating with The Walt Disney Studios to release ‘Maleficent: Mistress of Evil’, ‘Frozen 2’, ‘Ford v Ferrari’ and ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ enhanced in the multi-sensory 4DX format,” said JongRyul Kim, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX. “We are thrilled to be canvassing a multitude of genres and giving audiences a varied 4DX cinematic experience covering sci-fi, fantasy, action, animation, and drama. This is a fantastic lineup leading into the end of the year introducing more of CJ 4DPLEX’s next-generation cinematic experiences.”
