Pacific Rim (12A)
(Guillermo del Toro, 2013, Us) Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi. 131 mins
You can boil this sci-fi spectacle down to Transformers vs Godzillas, but with Del Toro at the helm it's the thinking person's big, dumb blockbuster: an unironic, city-stomping smash-up mixing state-of-the-art effects with curiously antiquated action-movie dynamics. There's just enough human interest to sustain it, but this is all about giant machines, giant aliens and deafening destruction.
Monsters University (U)
(Dan Scanlon, 2013, Us) Billy Crystal, John Goodman. 110 mins
Animal House for pre-schoolers? The college setting is questionable and the originality scarce, making this an acceptable, colourful prequel rather than another Pixar triumph.
The Deep (12A)
(Baltasar Kormákur, 2012, Ice) Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Jóhann G Jóhannsson. 93 mins
Visceral but unsensational...
