Is 'Thor: Love and Thunder' worth seeing?

If you're a fan of the previous "Thor" installment, "Thor: Ragnarok," you'll probably like "Thor: Love and Thunder." Both films are directed by Taika Waititi, so they share a similar tone. The film received mixed-to-positive reviews, with critics noting the performances and script as highlights.

Insider's Kirsten Acuna gave the movie a B+ in her review, stating that while it's hilarious and more inclusive than previous MCU films, it doesn't live up to "Ragnarok." She praised Christian Bale's performance as the villain, calling him "one of the creepiest villains Marvel has put on screen."

As of writing, the movie has a "68% fresh" rating on review-aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

What premium theater formats can I see 'Thor: Love and Thunder' in?

"Thor: Love and Thunder" is screening in a number of premium formats, in addition to standard 2D and 3D showings.

Here's a breakdown of each format to help you figure out which is best for you:

IMAX: Movies in IMAX are specially formatted with a bigger aspect ratio than standard movies so you can see up to 26% more of the image. IMAX movies are also projected on a curved screen that is much larger than typical theater screens. In addition to 2D, you can also catch IMAX 3D screenings.
Dolby Cinema: Available exclusively at AMC Theaters in the US, Dolby Cinema is a format designed to compete with IMAX by using two 4K projectors to create bright images with deep black levels and high contrast. Dolby Cinema also uses Dolby Atmos enhanced audio that features speakers around and above the audience.
ScreenX: ScreenX, available at select Regal theaters, features a panoramic format that projects the movie onto 270 degree screens that expand onto the side walls of the theater. The aim is to create an immersive experience no matter where you're seated. Sound systems are strategically placed to add to the immersive nature of the screening.
4DX: Also available at select Regal theaters, 4DX screenings are designed to put you in the movie's action with an experience that takes inspiration from theme park rides. With motion enabled chairs and other environmental controls, including wind, mist, rain, strobe lighting, fog, and scents, the conditions inside the theater will often mirror what's happening on screen.
