‘How to Train Your Dragon’ on IMAX: The biggest VR adventure
Gerard Butler’s iconic and unmistakable voice is a domineering presence in the “How to Train Your Dragon” series, but this time, not only is he reprising Stoick the Vast by voice, but he himself in the flesh showcases the character in the live-action film, with touches of the signature Spartan king that made him famous in “300.”
Child stars Mason Thames (“The Black Phone”) and Nico Parker (from Disney’s “Dumbo”) have grown up to make a beautiful pair that a new generation of “How to Train Your Dragon” viewers can take inspiration from.
Completing the cast are Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz, Murray McArthur, who all contribute very well in making the “How to Train Your Dragon” world a believable one. It becomes even more enjoyable as the film is shot for IMAX, making it a scenic and breathtaking virtual reality (VR) adventure you would not want to end!
