I was invited to check out a screening of Captain Marvel in the ScreenX format. For those of you not familiar with this format, ScreenX is the world's first multi-projection theatre technology that creates a 270-degree viewing angle of the movie you are watching.
Before the movie started, there is a video that explains how the ScreenX format works. While you are focused on what is taking place on the main screen, the side walls have projections on them to create an immersive experience. Think of this as similar to a VR experience.
Once the movie starts, the immersive factor takes hold. The action sequences are stunning in ScreenX. If there is anything that breaks the feeling of immersion is that the effect does not last for the entire movie. I found myself having to re-acclimate myself each time the side walls came on.
Take a look at the below video to see how ScreenX compares to a regular screen.
ScreenX is an interesting concept and I encourage you to experience it for yourself. I hope in the future the format can be extended for the entire movie.

Jackson, Clark Gregg, Ben Mendelsohn, Gemma Chan, Lashana Lynch, Lee Pace, Rune Temte and Algenis Perez Sotowere joined by directors Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck and producer Kevin Feige for a walk down the red carpet where they greeted excited fans at the world premiere of Marvel Studios’ CAPTAIN MARVEL.
As we make our way towards Avengers: Endgame, we take a step backwards, to 1995 to be exact, to get caught up on that mysterious page sent by Nick Fury at the very end of Infinity War.
I will do my best to keep this spoiler free and will discuss plot points that have been revealed by the trailers or TV spots.
As Marvel's 21st film and the first female-led superhero movie and the first co-directed by a woman, Captain Marvel has a lot to live up to. And trust me, it was worth the wait. Directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck not only shake up the timeline but also how the origin story unfolds.
Here we are introduced to Captain Marvel (played by Brie Larson) who already has her powers, though she has not truly harnessed all of them. She is a Kree soldier who is part of an elite military unit called Starforce. They are in a war with the shape shifting Skrulls. She has no idea she is Carol Danvers, as there is a huge blank spot in her memory. The Kree all-knowing Supreme Intelligence (played by Annette Bening) reminds her that there is a past that she cannot remember. Brie Larson is fierce and is perfect as Captain Marvel. Her performance stands out in an already Oscar winning career.
To the delight of enthusiastic fans, stars Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law, Lashana Lynch and Gemma Chan, directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, and executive producers Victoria Alonso and Jonathan Schwartz attended the European Gala Screening of Marvel Studios’ CAPTAIN MARVEL, which was held in London.
