If you have young’uns in your family, you don’t need us to tell you that How Far I’ll Go is about Moana’s yearning to see lands beyond her island. And while some may baulk at hearing the song again and again in the weeks afterwards, we are among the legions who cannot wait. We’ll be bellowing along with the rest of the auditorium, come the release date of 10th July.
Who can resist the call of the lyrics and the song, sung by real-life actors Catherine Lagaʻaia (Moana) and Dwayne Johnson (Maui)? Just as Moana can’t resist the call of the ocean or ignore her spirit of adventure, will you answer the call to break free from your usual preferred screen and explore the yearning to see a film in a way you’ve never seen before?
If you’ve never peered over the edge and dipped your toe into Superscreen before, let alone IMAX 3D (yes – there is an IMAX 3D!), then if not for you, do it for the kids. If the young’uns who liked Moana first time round are now more tweenage, they’ll want a ‘nostalgia’ trip to see the live-action remake of Moana, and a premium format’s the only way, because it’s cool.
Plus, those songs? They’re going to sound even more superb in 4DX's surround sound… Not sure how far you’ll go? Let us help you decide: book your ticket now and choose the premium format that best suits you.
See the line where the sky meets the sea? IMAX and IMAX 3D calls you
Okay, okay. This might be a little much for a first-timer. But in for a penny, right? Why not jump right in and book a ticket for the most mind-blowing screening there is – IMAX 3D.
Think about it. Moana has graduated from animation to live action. So let’s see that story on the biggest screen there is – the IMAX has wall-to-wall visuals. That’s a LOT of ocean. Moana’s going to seem braver than ever rowing her little craft on seas that big.
Whether she’s standing behind a spectacular waterfall, swimming underwater among brightly coloured fish or watching lightning in a massive storm, what’s on screen is already sumptuous and in 3D it’ll literally leap out at you, and you feel like you could step into it…
The voyage is calling – answer it in 4DX
First thing we’ll say about this one is, there’s a LOT of water action in Moana, from splashes, sprays, waves in an overwhelming size crashing towards you… And that’s a whole bucket load of ways you get to experience the water effects in a 4DX screening.
For those who are water-shy, the good news is you can opt out of a light misting by switching it off before you’re plunged into the story.
But that doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on the flashes of lightning, or the rolling motion in your seat as Moana takes to the high seas…
You’re welcome to the extra images you get at a SCREENX viewing
It’s all about the exciting, unpredictable, massive ocean in Moana, and those sequences where our heroine sails or explores underwater all lend themselves to SCREENX.
This screen extends either side of a standard-sized screen, so during the most dramatic scenes, you’ll be able to see more from the backdrops projected at the sides.
Follow the call, even if it scares you…
Superscreen is a great format for the faint-hearted. If you or the little one who’ll be accompanying you isn't taken with the idea of watching their heroine on anything too big, try Superscreen. It’s a little bit more special than a standard-sized screen, thanks to its larger size and great visuals and sound.
Those colourful island flowers and blue seas will look even sharper and more vibrant, while the sea and the sands will appear bigger.
Moana, the live-action film, is going to be a big deal. So book a celebratory summer outing to the cinema, choose the best premium screen for you and your family, and book your ticket for 10th July now.
Cos if you don’t, the kids might have something to say – or sing – about that.
