As the festive season draws to a close, the silver screen will be ablaze with a selection of films from a variety of genres and climates. This time of year, traditionally synonymous with major movie releases, has already been graced with the likes of ‘The Favourite’ and ‘The Greatest Showman’. However, at the end of 2022, there was a trend towards smaller, more varied productions, and we can expect to see this continue this year.
Aquaman returns
Aquaman’s adventures continue with the release of Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom, the long-awaited sequel to last year’s DC Extended Universe film. Directed by Jason Momoa, the action-packed sequel follows the adventures of the titular aquatic superhero as he takes on Black Manta, one of the world’s most dangerous criminals. Expect high-flying action, thrilling underwater thrills, and an in-depth exploration of the mythological origins of Atlantis.
Animated Adventures
Migration is an amazing animated movie about a family of ducks who go on an amazing journey around the world. It’s written and directed by Benjamin Renner who is a French illustrator. Plus, it’s got some amazing voice acting from some of the biggest names in pop culture, so you know you’re in for a treat!
Diverse Offerings
There’s something for everyone in this year’s post-Christmas movie selection. Disney’s ‘Wish’ stars Ariane DeBose and ‘Anyone But You’ is an Australian romantic comedy that mixes fantasy and romance. Adult audiences can have a good laugh with ‘2 Weeks in Greece’ and ‘Poor Things’ is a dark sci-fi black comedy from ‘Doctor Strange’. Plus, ‘One Life’ is a sober, reflective movie about the life of Nicholas Winton played by Sir Anthony Hopkins. Whether you’re a superhero, an animated adventure, or a deeply emotional story, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
