★★★★ The latest Dreamworks animation is sometimes over-stimulating, but its original, candy-coloured world inspired by Filipino folklore and celebrating female friendship, delivers a thrilling and emotional journey.
Forgotten Island (2026)
La Bola Negra (2026)
★★★★★ This visually breath-taking and thematically daring Spanish drama might just be the most gorgeous and sweeping work of queer cinema ever created, offering a deeply stirring journey through nearly a century of artistic defiance.
The Uprising (2026)
★★1/2 Paul Greengrass’ signature visual realism clashes with this otherwise solid historical epic, which unflinchingly revisits a grim chapter of British history before bizarrely weaving in folklore and legend as it becomes an unexpected Robin Hood origin story.
Elsinore (2026)
★★★1/2 An initially witty and nuanced script eventually stumbles under clumsy editing that tries too hard to tug at the heartstrings. Still, Andrew Scott delivers a career-defining performance as the inspirational thespian Ian Charleson.
Resident Evil (2026)
★★★★ Zach Cregger plunges us into a blood-soaked survival horror that captures the pulse-pounding tension, atmosphere, and gameplay mechanics of "Resident Evil", delivering the most electrifying video game adaptation to ever to hit the big screen.
Insidious: Out of the Further (2026)
★★1/2 The majority of this tired and formulaic sixth instalment in the once chilling horror franchise relies on cheap and predictable scares before finally embracing its silliness by balancing campy supernatural fun with absurd logic.
Spa Weekend (2026)
★★1/2 The chaotic female-led comedy flashes with a few moments of hilarity, but stumbles over clumsy slapstick, worn-out cliches, and the baffling waste of Anna Faris, falling short of the riotous fun it so desperately chases.
The End of Oak Street (2026)
★★★ David Robert Mitchell's wild Amblin-inspired fever dream is a tonal rollercoaster, with an unnecessarily great Anne Hathaway battling to rescue her chaotic suburban family from a prehistoric nightmare.
The Odyssey (2026)
★★★1/2 Though weighed down by a clunky structure and missing an emotional anchor, Christopher Nolan's thunderous retelling of the epic Greek poem largely triumphs with unforgettable set-pieces and a rewarding finale.
Minions & Monsters (2026)
★★★1/2 Just when it looked like the Minions had run out of steam, they come roaring back with perhaps their most dazzling adventure in years, serving up a wildly clever and joyfully slapstick love letter to classic cinema.
