It’s jamming!

- Colossal (15)

This speaker doesn’t just give you clear sound of an exceptiona­lly high quality that plays in both portrait and landscape. It’s designed to connect via Wi-fi to your smartphone thanks to the JAM App and has a 3.5mm Aux-in. Anne Hathaway controllin­g a giant monster rampaging through Seoul with her mind.

As concepts go, Colossal’s is far from run-of-the-mill and director Nacho Vigalondo’s bonkers indie makes for fun-but-flawed viewing.

Hathaway does a fine job playing an unravellin­g heroine who comes to the realisatio­n that there’s more to life than booze. Jason Sudeikis is as charming as ever, but Vigalondo gifts him with a layered character who takes some dark turns.

The up and down tone won’t be for everyone and the bleak final act sucks the life out of proceeding­s. Originalit­y in Hollywood has to be embraced, though, and Vigalondo and his cast take us on an off-the-wall journey.
