THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN 4D

Watchable. 4D here means 2D visuals + all sorts of shakes and blasts of cold air. No scents this time. The movements put you in a horse saddle, in the middle of a brawl or a shootout which is extra fun. The film itself is just fine. The makers seem to have had a problem deciding whether it should mimick the old version or be modern so they have mixed old-fashioned language and chauvinism with present-style multiculturalism and multilinguism and the eponymous seven are all macho men each of a different ethnic background. The seven get such a long exposure each that you get to like them all. Faraday's (Chris Pratt) smirk pervades the movie. However their conversations aren't particularly involving, their heroism is far-fetched and the story's typical for a western (apart from the fact it's a multiple remake).

Careful with popcorn or Coke in a 4D screen! Easier to spill than anywhere else.

Warsaw's Cinema City in Arkadia is harder to access now. You have to go round the shopping center to get the escalator to the first floor. So it's 5 minutes extra that you need before the movie.
