What’s out at the cinema this week? Well just in time for the big EU referendum we’ve got the potentially apt or potentially ironic Independence Day: Resurgence. If you’re looking for something for the kids we’ve got some CGI Animals to look at and If you’d like to see what Michael Shannon looks like as Elvis then we have you covered as well.

We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global catastrophe on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defence program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.
