Gardaland chooses Aquaman for its 4D cinema
For the 2022 season Gardaland chose an Aquaman compilation for its 4D cinema, alternating it with the existing Wonder Woman film.
More context
For the 2022 season Gardaland again turned to a DC production for its 4D cinema. After Wonder Woman, Aquaman arrived in the theatre as a special adaptation of the 2018 Warner Bros. film. Looopings described how high-resolution 3D images and special effects were meant to take visitors into Atlantis, the underwater kingdom of the superhero. The original film by director James Wan runs almost two and a half hours, but Gardaland reduced it to a short montage suitable for a park auditorium. That kept the 4D cinema operating as a rotating film platform, where familiar cinema titles became compact experiences with added physical sensation. Aquaman did not simply replace the previous programme. The park planned to alternate the new film with the Wonder Woman film that had been running since 2019. For visitors, that meant more variety within the same attraction location. Historically, the choice also fits a clear line in the theatre’s recent past: Gardaland built a sequence of blockbuster adaptations in the Time Voyagers and Cinema 4D Experience venue, moving from San Andreas to Wonder Woman and then Aquaman.
