FINDING DORY (U)
DORY (Ellen DeGeneres) is the next-shell neighbour of Marlin (Albert Brooks) and his young son, Nemo (Hayden Rolence) on the Great Barrier Reef. A rush of fragmented memories of her parents Charlie (Eugene Levy) and Jenny (Diane Keaton) sparks an epic quest to California to reunite the forgetful daughter with her loved ones.
Along the way they meet a grouchy septopus called Hank (Ed O’Neill), wise-cracking sea lions Fluke (Idris Elba) and Rudder (Dominic West), near-sighted whale shark Destiny (Kaitlin Olson) and a beluga whale called Bailey (Ty Burrell), who has lost his echo location as the result of a concussion.
Finding Dory is the emotional and comical equal of its predecessor.
JASON BOURNE (12A)
JASON Bourne (Matt Damon, below) is living off the grid on the GreekAlbanian border and posing as a bare-knuckle brawler.
In Iceland, former contact Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) illegally accesses the CIA mainframe to download confidential files about Bourne’s former life as David Webb. She discovers a shocking secret and resolves to share the data with the elusive operative.
CIA Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) sends protegee Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) to covertly track Nicky’s movements, and she enlists a hit man (Vincent Cassel), to neutralise the targets.
Jason Bourne gets off to a slow burn start but gathers pace until there’s little time to breathe between plot revelations and bloodthirsty retribution.
THE BFG (PG)
PRECOCIOUS orphan Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) is snatched from her bed by the Big Friendly Giant (Mark Rylance) when she spots him one night, and he takes her to Giant Country.
A tender friendship is then forged between Sophie and her kindhearted abductor, who is bullied by filthsome fellow giants including Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) and Bloodbottler (Bill Hader).
The BFG is a visually arresting ride that tugs gently at the heartstrings in between director Steven Spielberg’s patented rollicking set pieces.
