ARMSTRONG

(PG) Preview

(in selected cinemas)

TO mark the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing, David Fairhead directs a revealing documentary portrait of Neil Armstrong, which traces the reluctant hero’s journey from rural Ohio to uncharted territory in the inky void of space.

Narrated by Harrison Ford, the film combines remastered archive material, Nasa footage and previously unseen Armstrong family home movies to better understand the father and husband, who became a symbol of endeavour for the whole of mankind.

Fellow astronauts and aviators who knew Armstrong contribute interviews, alongside members of the family.

Fairhead’s film is available to download and stream from July 15.

Avengers: Endgame, director Jon Watts’s web-slinging sequel is an effervescent coming-of-age comedy. Events unfold months after “the blip” – the sudden return of half of all living organisms on Earth including Peter Parker (Tom Holland, pictured) and fellow students from Midtown School of Science and Technology.

The teenager refuses calls from Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) to concentrate on a class trip to Europe. Peter only has eyes for MJ (Zendaya) but his clumsy attempts to woo her are thwarted by hunky rival Brad Davis (Remy Hii).

Fury and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) implore Peter to fight alongside Quentin Beck aka Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) to defeat four humanoids called The Elementals. Peter politely refuses and the students’ travel itinerary suddenly alters to include a stopover in Vienna where one Elemental is due to materialise.
