- Passengers

When a spacecraft transporti­ng 5 000 sleeping passengers to a colony planet malfunctio­ns, Aurora Dunn (Jennifer Lawrence) and Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) are awakened 90 years too early. They soon realise that they and everyone else on board are in great danger, and as they struggle to find a solution, the two fall in love. Directed by Morten Tyldum, Passengers expertly combines mindblowin­g sci-fi with an out-of-thisworld romance in this futuristic space drama that will sweep you off your feet.

Collateral Beauty

Howard Inlet (Will Smith) is an advertisin­g executive whose heartbroke­n response to the death of his daughter is to write letters to three mysterious entities Love, Time and Death. Included in the cast is Edward Norton, Keira Knightley, Kate Winslet and Naomie Harris, making this David Frankeldir­ected drama a thought-provoking must.

Why Him?

In this ‘meet the parents’ comedy, Laird Mayhew (James Franco) is a brash billionair­e with just one thing standing between him and his girlfriend Stephanie Fleming (Zoey Deutch) – her father, Ned (Bryan Cranston). It has a few hilarious gags, but we’ve seen the ‘overprotec­tive father’ storyline one too many times.

Manchester by the Sea

When Lee Chandler’s (Casey Affleck) brother dies, Lee is made the sole guardian of his resentful 16-year-old nephew Patrick (Lucas Hedges) and is forced to return to his childhood home where he must face his troubled past and estranged wife Randi (Michelle Williams). A poignant drama that explores the power of redemption and guilt.
