GEMINI MAN

It’s Will Smith vs (a younger) Will Smith in Ang Lee’s technicall­y impressive, but otherwise dated, sciencefic­tion action-fest.

MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL

Angelina Jolie returns as Sleeping Beauty’s nemesis in a sequel more forgettabl­e than its predecesso­r.

MONOS

Child soldiers keep a hostage captive in this extraordin­ary Colombian debut that’s best summed up as ‘Lord Of The Flies meets Apocalypse Now’.

ROMA – THE CRITERION COLLECTION

ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP

Reaching screens a full decade after the original rule-breaking zom-com, this belated sequel is fun, if hardly essential.

COME TO DADDY

Elijah Wood has the reunion from hell with his estranged father Stephen McHattie in this twisty, and outrageous­ly gory, horror.

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE

Linda Hamilton makes her long-anticipate­d return as Sarah Connor in the best Terminator sequel since T2 (which isn’t saying much).

FIRST LOVE

Prolific Japanese master Takashi Miike directs this typically ultraviole­nt crime comedy about a boxer and an escort who get caught up in a drug ring.

THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON

Shia LaBeouf is superb in this road movie about a man who breaks out of his care home to train as a wrestler.
