Here's a breakdown of each format the film will be available in, and how they differ:

• IMAX: Specially formatted with a bigger aspect ratio, movies in IMAX let you see up to 25% more of the image. They're projected onto a curved screen that is larger than your average theater screen as well. IMAX offers both 2D and 3D.

It also includes strategically placed sound systems to surround the viewer. This creates an immersive experience all around you. 
• 4DX: Another Regal theater exclusive, 4DX takes inspiration from theme park rides and puts you in the middle of the action. It includes motion-enabled chairs and environmental effects like wind, mist, rain, strobe lighting, fog, and scents to mirror what's happening on screen.
