My kids have been really into the LEGO NINJAGO cartoons, toys and video games lately. So they were ecstatic that we were invited to attend a VIP screening of a brand new movie for the 4D theater at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Michigan featuring the main characters from LEGO NINJAGO ... Lloyd, Kai, Zane, Cole, Nya and Master Wu. My son and daughter were so excited when we arrived at Great Lakes Outlets for this special premiere showing of LEGO NINJAGO: MASTER OF THE 4TH DIMENSION that we were greeted at the entrance of LEGOLAND Discovery Center by Kai, the Red Ninja himself. Of course, we had to take a fun picture with him!
As we made our way back to the 4D theater, the path led through a LEGO mini-land cityscape of Detroit that was experiencing a NINJAGO takeover. LEGO NINJAGO toys had been placed throughout the display tying in to the movie theme of our visit. We also jumped on KINGDOM QUEST and MERLIN'S APPRENTICE RIDE before heading over to the theater. Ride through a medieval landscape while shooting at evil creatures with a laser gun to save the day in KINGDOM QUEST. It is always a blast competing to see who gets the highest score! MERLIN'S APPRENTICE RIDE has you pedal a cart around the magician's library. The faster you pedal the higher your rise while circling around the room.
While waiting for the new 4D LEGO NINJAGO movie's show time outside the theater, my son created a brick sculpture of his favorite ninja character on one of the LEGO play boards mounted on a wall. What a nice job! He was really proud of his creation.
Then it was time to turn in our tickets to see LEGO NINJAGO: MASTER OF THE 4TH DIMENSION!!!
In this 12-minute long 4D movie, Master Wu prepares the ninjas to take on the teachings of the mysterious 'Scroll of the 4th Dimension' but disastrous consequences strike. Cole, Kai, Lloyd, Nya and Zane find themselves in a whole heap of trouble trapped within the 4th Dimension. Can they escape from this weird place? Go see the movie at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Michigan to find out!
The 4D theater at LEGOLAND Discovery Center takes 3D movies then adds special effects like blowing wind and spraying water at the audience in sync with scenes within the show. The Ninjago characters are a nice fit for this format as their elemental powers coincide with the types of 4D special effects utilized in the theater. When Nya uses her power to control water be ready to get wet!
So what did my kids think of the new 4D LEGO Ninjago movie at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Michigan --> "That was AWESOME!"

Both of my little ninjas are really into the LEGO NINJAGO toys and television show so they were really excited about seeing The LEGO NINJAGO Movie while off from school for the Christmas / New Year holiday break now that it is available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital for viewing. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment kindly sent us a Blu-ray + DVD + Digital combo pack of the movie to watch. So we popped up some popcorn and enjoyed an afternoon watching The LEGO NINJAGO Movie.
In the battle for NINJAGO City, Lloyd (Dave Franco), high school student by day and Green Ninja by night, gets thrown into the ultimate adventure with his secret ninja warrior friends! Led by the wise and wisecracking Master Wu (Jackie Chan), they must defeat evil warlord Garmadon (Justin Theroux), The Worst Guy Ever, who also happens to be Lloyd's dad. On their courageous journey, they learn to band together to unleash their inner power in an epic showdown to save the city.
The LEGO NINJAGO Movie was one of my kids' favorite movies they saw at the movie theater this year so they were ecstatic to be able to add it to our home's library of films so they can watch it over and over again.

It is filled with martial arts fighting scenes along with the tongue-in-cheek humor that LEGO movies, television shows, and video have become known for.

My kids have been looking forward all year long to The LEGO Ninjago Movie arriving in theaters. So they were ecstatic when after going to see the film on its opening weekend, I surprised them with The LEGO Ninjago Movie video game when we arrived home from the theater. The twins loved playing the game so much it was really hard pulling them away from it when bedtime rolled around. With movie quality graphics and an impressive variety of ninja moves that players can utilize while controlling their favorite LEGO NINJAGO heroes this game absolutely gets A Geek Daddy nod of approval.
The video game allows players to battle against Lord Garmadon and his Shark Army as their favorite NINJAGO heroes: Lloyd, Nya, Jay, Kai, Cole, Zane and Master Wu. Learning and mastering martial arts moves such as Rushing Boar (a dash attack to charge an enemy), Floating Butterfly (a jumping lunge attack that allows a ninja to leap at a foe from above), Swooping Hawk (a jump slam attack) and Stinging Bee (a flurry of stinging strikes against an opponent). Utilize these and other powerful combat moves to tackle adrenaline pumping fight sequences that will make you feel like a part of the big screen action from The LEGO NINJAGO Movie.
In addition to learning fighting moves, master the art of Ninja-gility as you play The LEGO NINJAGO Movie Video Game by running on walls, high-jumping and learning other ninja skills. As players progress in learning fighting skills and athletic abilities, they will rank up acquiring new maneuvers and skills plus additional combat techniques on the way to mastering the art of Spinjitzu. Plus each character has their own unique elemental powers and upgradeable weapons to develop and utilize in the game.
Players must overcome the challenges presented in eight levels each based upon locations from the movie's story and the LEGO NINJAGO television series. Each location has a number of hidden secrets to discover to help you make your way through the game's storyline. Explore a variety of environments ranging from NINJAGO City to the jungles of NINJAGO Island as you battle your way through these locations trying to overcome the evil menace of the dreaded Lord Garmadon.
Also each of these locations has its own unique Challenge Dojo where players can have fun testing their ninja skills in different ways. The main storyline for the game can be played either by a single player or two players can play cooperatively. The twins really enjoyed partnering up to battle the bad guys in The LEGO NINJAGO Movie Video Game. Special Battle Maps also allow up to four players to compete in three different game modes against one another through a split screen format. My wife and I joined in the Battle Map action with the kids providing for some great family time together enjoying this game.
