Gran Turismo: race along to the new action movie in one of Cineworld's premium formats

Gear up for some high-speed thrills – the new motor-racing movie Gran Turismo is now showing at a Cineworld cinema near you. Neill Blomkamp’s film tells the incredible true-life story of Jann Mardenborough (played by Archie Madekwe), a teenager who won a competition playing the iconic videogame Gran Turismo and was subsequently awarded a professional racing contract.

Catch the automotive thriller in one of Cineworld’s premium formats – IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX, Superscreen or VIP. Each of these formats takes the movie-watching experience to incredible new levels, making a film like Gran Turismo even more breathtaking. To find out more, read on…

1. IMAX

The Gran Turismo racing horizon seems positively endless when you experience the movie in IMAX. Remember the memories of playing the game? You can now substitute that for the real thing as the expanse and scope of IMAX invest Jann's story with pin-sharp resolution and near-unlimited vistas.

IMAX utlises a greatly expanded aspect ratio (1.90:1 versus anamorphic widescreen's 2.39:1), which fuses with a bold remastering process, dual projection and perfectly tuned surround sound. This is no simulation – it's the real thing, so hold on tight.

2. 4DX

A film with this amount of action is simply crying out to be seen in one of Cineworld’s 4DX cinemas. This thrillingly immersive multisensory format combines seat movement (generated by tactile motion programming) with a range of dynamic effects (wind, water, scents), thrusting the viewer right into the thick of the action.

Don't just watch Gran Turismo; feel it in your bones. You can find out more about 4DX and its transportive effects in the following clip.

3. ScreenX

Imagine being sat alongside Jann Mardenborough as he hurtles around the track at high speed. That’s what you’ll feel if you watch Gran Turismo in one of our innovative ScreenX cinemas.

ScreenX is an all-enveloping, 270-degree viewing experience that extends a given movie onto the side walls of the auditorium. The state-of-the-art technology uses up to 12 additional projectors to extend the movie beyond your peripheral vision.

With stunning visuals coming at you from both the front and the sides, full Gran Turismo immersion is guaranteed. Allow What's On At Cineworld host Dan to explain more in our behind the screens video.

4. Superscreen

Cineworld’s Superscreen format makes movies feel like masterpieces, with state-of-the-art projection and amazingly life-like sound combining to deliver an experience that’s as close to what the filmmakers intended as possible. In this format, Gran Turismo’s racing cars will gleam brighter and roar louder than you could ever imagine.

5. VIP

The Cineworld ViP treatment starts from the very moment you walk through the doors, allowing you to opt for premium levels of comfort.
