Experience the Latest in Cinematic Technology with "Demon Slayer"!
The highly anticipated film, "Demon Slayer: Mugen Train – Chapter 1: Akaza Returns," is set to debut at 109 Cinemas across Japan in an exciting format never seen before. From February 20, 2026, moviegoers will be able to enjoy this thrilling installment of the Demon Slayer saga in the innovative SCREENX and ULTRA 4DX formats. This groundbreaking move is a significant first for the franchise and is expected to redefine the movie-watching experience.
What to Expect from SCREENX and ULTRA 4DX
Both SCREENX and ULTRA 4DX provide immersive experiences that extend beyond traditional cinematic viewing.
SCREENX utilizes a unique three-screen multi-projection system, enhancing visual storytelling by manipulating images across three screens: the front and both sides. This results in a 270-degree view that completely envelops the audience, bringing an unprecedented level of immersion into the film's universe. You'll find specific scenes highlighted in stunning 270-degree visuals, stress-testing the boundaries of traditional cinema and fully showcasing the film's artistic potential.
ULTRA 4DX, on the other hand, integrates a multisensory approach by featuring motion seats and enhanced effects that sync with the on-screen action. This means that as characters engage in intense battles, audiences will physically feel the experience through motion shifts, environmental effects like wind, and even scents. It’s a captivating way to experience the action and emotion of the story hands-on.
