Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt learn of the 4DX experience in very different ways in an exclusive The Fall Guy video. The upcoming action comedy stars the Barbie alum as stunt performer Colt Seavers, who is tasked with tracking down the missing star of the latest blockbuster he’s starring in, all while balancing his relationship with his ex-girlfriend and first-time director, played by the Oppenheimer Oscar nominee. The Fall Guy is helmed by Bullet Train‘s David Leitch on a script from Iron Man 3‘s Drew Pearce, and is already garnering strong reviews after its festival premieres.
In anticipation of the movie’s release, Screen Rant is proud to present an exclusive The Fall Guy clip. The video, as seen at the top of this article, sees Gosling and Blunt getting very different 4DX theatrical experiences as the stunt team behind the action-comedy imitate the unique theatrical experience, with the former getting beaten up ruthlessly by the various stunt performers, all while the latter enjoys a harmonious outing with a back massage and gifts of chocolate, flowers and calming smells.
Though having been around for the better part of a decade, 4DX has become an exciting new expansion of the theatrical experience for audiences, full immersing viewers with seats that rotate on three axes, vibrate and sway, as well as room effects with everything from fog and wind to near-sat effects like airflow, water spray and scents. Throughout the years, some big blockbusters have offered the perfect hosting for the 4DX experience, with some of the biggest hits being Avengers: Endgame, Avatar: The Way of Water and Aquaman.

With The Fall Guy releasing in the unique format, the action-comedy seems perfect to keep 4DX’s success streak alive at the box office. Leitch already has experience with the immersive theatrical experience in Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, which was one of the platform’s best-performing releases of 2019. Given the new movie is packed to the brim with explosive action and effects-filled set pieces to match the blockbuster experience, the 4DX format is primed to fully immerse audiences in the action-comedy.
The other major benefit for The Fall Guy to keep 4DX’s success streak alive is the positive early buzz surrounding the movie. Following its South by Southwest and CinemaCon premieres, the action-comedy is holding an impressive 89% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, making it not only Leitch’s best-reviewed movie in the director’s chair, but also his best since Deadpool 2. With The Fall Guy also facing minimal competition at the box office in its opening weekend before the releases of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and IF, the movie can lead the charge for 4DX heading into the rest of 2024.
