From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black's explosive reinvention of the Predator series.

It is an adrenalin rush of motion – and environmental effects – strobe, water, air shots, fog, back ticklers, and lots more.

The Predator (16 HVL)
Showing at Nu Metro Menlyn Park and Parkview
From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. The universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.
Sgt Stubby: An American Hero (7-9 PG V)
Showing at Nu Metro Menlyn Park and Woodlands
The incredible true story of America’s most decorated dog: after being rescued off the streets by a young soldier on the eve of America’s entry in World War I, Stubby is given a home, a family, and the chance to embark on the adventure that will define a century. As documented in the history books, but largely untold today, Stubby was no ordinary stray – he was a tenacious canine, a courageous scout, and a fiercely loyal friend who forged an everlasting bond with the doughboys of the Great War. Featuring the voices of Helena Bonham Carter and Gerard Depardieu.
Billionaire Boys Club (16 DLSV)
Showing at Nu Metro Menlyn Park only
This dramatic thriller is the true crime story of the ambitious entrepreneur Joe Hunt, whose company of affluent young men from Beverly Hills, the BBC, grew into a Ponzi scheme that turned homicidal in the summer of 1984. Based on the unbelievable, but true, story of the rise and fall of two outsiders, Billionaire Boys Club traces the wild ride of financial whiz kid Joe Hunt (Ansel Elgort) and tennis pro Dean Karny (Taron Egerton) whose investment pool propels them into the upper echelons of LA in the early 80s – a world dripping with money, sex and celebrity. Also starring Kevin Spacey and Emma Roberts.
Submergence (16 V)
Showing at Nu Metro Parkview only
In a room with no windows on the eastern coast of Africa, an Englishman, James More (James McAvoy), is held captive by Jihadist fighters. Thousands of miles away in the Greenland Sea, Danielle Flinders (Alicia Vikander) prepares to dive in a submersible to the ocean floor. In their confines, they are drawn back to the Christmas of the previous year, where a chance encounter on a beach in France led to an intense and enduring romance. With havoc breaking out around them, thousands of miles apart, these two lovers pine for their last moments together.
