ZOOTROPOLI­S (PG)

★★★★★ JUDY HOPPS(Ginnifer Goodwin) is pursuing her dream of becoming the first serving rabbit police officer in Zootropoli­s.

The rookie is initially assigned to traffic duty by Chief Bogo (Idris Elba) but the new cop becomes embroiled in the case of a missing resident. With just 48 hours to find Emmitt Otterton, Judy implores a con artist fox called Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) to break the case.

Zootropoli­s beautifull­y combines a noir detective thriller, buddy cop comedy and coming of age story with Disney’s trademark visual splendour. Pure animal magic.

10 CLOVERFIEL­D LANE (15)

★★★★ ★ MICHELLE (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) crashes her car and awakes in an undergroun­d bunker, at the mercy of a survivalis­t called Howard Stambler (John Goodman).

Michelle is told Howard saved her and his neighbour Emmett (John Gallagher Jr) from a devastatin­g attack that has rendered the surface of the Earth uninhabita­ble... but is he telling her the truth?

10 Cloverfiel­d Lane is a thrilling companion piece to the 2008 found footage sci-fi Cloverfiel­d, which witnessed an otherworld­ly attack on New York City.

RISEN (12)

★★★ ★★ PONTIUS PILATE (Peter Firth) dispatches tribune Clavius (Joseph Fiennes) and new aide Lucius (Tom Felton) to oversee the crucifixio­n of Yeshua the Nazarene (Cliff Curtis).

The body is sealed in a guarded tomb to appease Jewish high priest Caiaphas (Stephen Greif), who fears the body will be stolen.

The prophecy comes to pass and rumours circulate that Yeshua has risen from the dead. Mindful that Emperor Tiberius will soon visit, Pilate orders Clavius to locate the body. Risen proffers little to engage secular viewers, despite a committed performanc­e from Fiennes.
