Reviews by KarenThis biographical drama stars Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslett, Seth Rogan and Katherine Waterson. It looks at the life of Apple creator Steve Jobs focussing on 1984-1998.
Those who have an understanding of how Apple computers was formed and the history of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak would probably get a lot more out of this film than other people.

This exciting drama stars Kiera Knightly, Matt Smith, Matthew Goode, Rhys Ifans, Indira Varma, Adam Bakri and Ralph Fiennes. It is based on the true story of whistleblower Katherine Gun. She leaked a memo on the illegal tactics the USA and UK governments were deploying to start an illegal war in Iraq over non-existent weapons of mass destruction.
It shows how the Guardian used the information and her human rights legal team, including left-wing Shami Chakrabarti and Ben Emmerson, were able to argue her case.

This is the first a series of sequels to the Jurassic Park series starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.
The theme park has successfully opened with genetically modified dinosaurs. The modifications lead to things getting out of hand when a hybrid dinosaur goes on the rampage and other dinosaurs get loose.
This instalment contains a lot of Easter eggs relating to the original series including locations, props and dinosaurs.
