Elemental (PG)
Animation powerhouse Pixar return, with their latest family treat, as a fiery - literally - young woman meets here watery soulmate, as a seemingly impossible relationship blossoms that is considered taboo. You can’t mix the elements after all, or can you? In another absolutely dazzling world, Pixar brings this original story, set in the diverse and four elements inspired ‘Element City’ brimming to life on the big screen, in a heartfelt tale that not only wows the eyes but warms the heart, with a story of belonging, and celebrating our differences and our bonds. Needless to say Pixar really are in their element with this wonderful new movie, that you really don’t want to miss this red hot summer!

Insidious: The Red Door (15)
The hit horror franchise reaches its finale and comes full circle, as The Red Door takes the story back to the beginning, as Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) and his family are still piecing parts of their lives together from the paranormal trauma they suffered over ten years ago, but when a now grown up Dalton (Ty Simpkins) begins having troubling visions, the demonic netherworld of The Further seems to be calling out again, and the Lambert family will have to once and for all meet their demonic tormentor face to face! Starring and directed by Patrick Wilson, this fifth and final instalment in the series looks to treat fans with a finale to well and truly remember. Also starring franchise regulars, Rose Byrne, Leigh Whannell, Lin Shaye and Angus Sampson.

From Monday 10th July

Mission-Impossible-Dead-Reckoning Part One
Mission-Impossible-Dead-Reckoning Part One
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (12a)
The fuse has been lit! Your mission if you choose to accept it, is to go see Tom Cruise back in action as IMF agent Ethan Hunt in Christopher McQuarrie’s high stakes Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. This seventh film in the iconic action film franchise sees Hunt and his IMF team tasked with tracking down a deadly weapon that could spell an end to humanity if it lands in the wrong hands. While a new foe emerges, Hunt is forced to truly face the impossible, a mission that questions his strict moral code, and whether the mission can ever matter more than the lives of those he cares about? Co-starring franchise regulars Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson, alongside newcomers Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff and Esai Morales, this mission may be the most breathtaking yet. Chock full of set pieces and stunts that show that nobody is doing it like Tom Cruise on the big screen, and critics have hailed this as not only the blockbuster of the year but one of the best ever made.
