Wild weather epic Twisters is sweeping into Cineworld cinemas this July and promises to knock the unpredictable British summer into a cocked hat. Expect relentless and breathtaking CG effects in this sequel to the 1996 blockbuster Twister as several weather chasers venture into the heart of the storm while seeking the ultimate adrenaline rush.
Daisy Edgar Jones (Normal People), Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) and Anthony Ramos (In the Heights) play the hapless humans who are attempting to stay planted on the ground. However, the twisters are the real star of the show and this time we get two barnstorming tornadoes for the price of one, brought to life in all their chaotic glory.
Try to hang on tight as you experience Twisters in special format IMAX, plus Cineworld-exclusive formats 4DX, ScreenX and Superscreen. Here's why the special format experience is set to blow you away.
IMAX places you at the heart of the storm
Remember the awe-inspiring end of the original Twister when Helen Hunt and the late Bill Paxton stared into the 'God's Eye'? Imagine that but rendered with 21st-century effects technology, massively expanded visuals and enhancements in immersive digital sound.
That's what you can expect from the IMAX presentation of Twisters. IMAX wasn't an industry standard when the first film was released in 1996, but it now allows you to take the meteorological maelstrom to the next level.
IMAX's larger-than-usual screens combine with a unique remastering process. The visual sharpness and clarity fully transform every frame to produce the best possible version of a filmmaker’s vision. With dual projection, the IMAX image has the perfect balance of warmth and sharpness.
This is what film fans want from a film like Twisters, which plunges you into a life-or-death scenario against the elements. IMAX promises to highlight every visceral detail from the darkening skies to the lightning strikes and the all-encompassing debris that accompanies the twister's rampage.
Of course, it's the IMAX sound that will also transform your Twisters experience. The twisters have their own residual sense of shrieking, howling menace, which amplifies as the characters, and, by extension, the viewing audience, get closer to the danger.
This will help you take in the nuances of the sound design, which are heightened by a perfectly tuned integrated sound and speaker system. Every breath of wind promises to sound even more intimidating when presented in IMAX.
Did you know that Tom Cruise came out to support his new BFF Glen Powell at the Cineworld IMAX premiere of Twisters? Here's the evidence.
Who doesn't love a fun night with friends, watching a movie*?

4DX wind effects make you feel the impact of the twisters
The 4DX multi-sensory format is unique to Cineworld cinemas in the UK and Ireland. Motion-programmed seats are timed to every bump, jolt and close collision wrought by the terrifying and awe-inspiring twisters. 4DX promises to amplify every such moment, putting you at the heart of the action.
4DX's wind and rain effects promise to come into their own in a film such as this, enhancing the squally and blustery impact of the twisters themselves. From the safety and comfort of your cinema seat, 4DX draws on its ability to make one feel the impact of Mother Nature – like the characters in the film, the best you can do is hold on tight and expect an exhilarating rollercoaster ride.
To reiterate, 4DX is an experience wholly unique to Cineworld. In the following clip, our What's On At Cineworld hosts Luke and Dan react to the Twisters trailer in 4DX, so check it out and get an idea of what to expect.
270-degree ScreenX surrounds you with danger on all sides
ScreenX, another Cineworld exclusive, employs an enveloping 270-degree effect that projects the film onto the auditorium's side walls. The movie subsequently extends beyond your peripheral vision to put you in the heart of the intensifying storm system with vehicles, livestock and disintegrating buildings flying at you from all angles.
If you've never experienced ScreenX, watch the following clip and discover why 270-degree vision is the way to go.
Superscreen expands director Lee Isaac Chung's vision
With Twisters, Minari director Lee Isaac Chung graduates from sensitive drama to all-out weather warfare. Experience the movie in Cineworld-exclusive Superscreen, which fuses state-of-the-art projection, delivered on huge screens, with breathtaking multidimensional sound powered by epic Dolby Atmos speakers.
In other words, it'll make you feel like you're there, standing alongside Daisy Edgar Jones and Glen Powell's daredevil characters as they're humbled by the majesty of the natural elements.
