Alien Romulus (2024) will probably suck too.

'Twisters' in 4DX. Really enjoyed it.

The experience was absolutely taylor made for this type of film. Whenever the crew were getting close or about to get caught up within a tornado it created a genuine anticipation for what the 4DX experience would bring with that.

The stand out thing was probably how effective the fans were blowing air in from the sides and simulating the tornado. You felt the 'wind' blowing through the room but the noise the fans made was cleverly masked within the sound mix itself. The water sprays were more of a wet mist that you couod feel in the air and it added to the general ambience.

The seats will always have that funfair ride aspect to them. Not a fan of the way they jolt you about which usually happened when chasing a tornado and something would hit their truck or they would take a short cut by going off-road (hold on).

Other quirks were the opening scene that ended with one of the crew being sucked up by the tornado. All the effects stand down, fade to white screen and loads of people in the room start laughing, relieved that the ride is over.

Another was the smoke pyro going off at the front of the seating (a record 6 or 7 times!) and slowly fanning out throughout the room. This added to the effect of the tornado but the smoke would hang around for a good 5+ minutes or so after the action scene was over. It felt especially strange when the story had moved on and you were in another location like inside an airport but the room was still full of smoke and you could see the light from the projector shining through it.

All in all I'd say Twisters was probably one of the best 4DX experiences so far. Unfortunately it's going to lose all premium screens to 'Deadpool & Wolverine' so the chance to see it in that format might be gone. They may put it back on for a couple more showings after D&W has had the next two weekends and all in between.
