Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (4DX)

In this spin-off of the wildly popular Fast & Furious series, we pick up the feud between the hulking lawman Hobbs, a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and the lawless outcast Shaw, a former British military elite operative, who first faced off in Furious 7. The duo have swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down. When cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever — and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent, who just happens to be Shaw’s sister — these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be worse than themselves. This film is releasing in 2D, IMAX and 4DX. This is the 4DX version.

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Hobbs & Shaw doesn’t rev as high as the franchise’s best installments, but gets decent mileage out of its well-matched stars and over-the-top action sequences.	13
