Seeing How to Train Your Dragon in IMAX is the only way to go.
The newly released IMAX trailer for the live-action How to Train Your Dragon just landed—and it’s nothing short of breathtaking. Filmmaker Dean DeBlois, the creative force behind the beloved animated trilogy, is returning to the franchise with a stunning reimagining of the original story, this time in live-action and fully optimized for the IMAX screen.
The trailer teases sweeping shots of the island of Berk, heart-pounding dragon flights, and emotional glimpses of the unlikely bond between Hiccup and Toothless, all heightened by the power and scope of the IMAX format. For fans of the original films—myself included—this new chapter looks like a dream come true, especially when experienced in the most immersive way possible.
Watch the IMAX trailer
As someone who lives for the thrill of IMAX, I can say without hesitation that there’s nothing like it. The sound, the clarity, the towering screen—everything hits differently. When a film like How to Train Your Dragon is crafted with IMAX in mind, you don’t just watch it—you feel like you’re flying right beside Toothless. This trailer alone gave me chills, and I already know I’ll be front and center on opening night.
Starring Mason Thames (The Black Phone), Nico Parker (The Last of Us), and Gerard Butler—reprising his role as Stoick the Vast—the live-action adaptation honors the spirit of the original while taking full advantage of modern visual effects.
With a cast rounded out by Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz, and Murray McArthur, the film promises to blend heartfelt character moments with jaw-dropping spectacle.
Set to soar into theaters on June 13, How to Train Your Dragon is part of the Filmed for IMAX program, giving DeBlois access to the premium format’s cutting-edge technology. It’s a match made in cinematic heaven that brings the magic of dragons to life like never before.
So if you’re a longtime fan of Berk or discovering it for the first time, do yourself a favor: see it in IMAX. You certainly won’t regret it. Get Your Tickets HERE.
