28 Years Later
Genre: Horror
Starring: Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes
Release Date: January 1st
In the 28 years since the rage virus breakout caused the world to descend into chaos, humans still remain on Earth – albeit living in a brutally enforced quarantine.
On a small island lives one group of survivors who have a connection to the mainland thanks to a defended causeway, allowing them to leave in relative peace. However, when one survivor ventures away from the island, they discover a new mutation of the virus that spreads between both infected and the living – and now must fight for the safety of his people.
Nuremberg
Genre: Drama
Starring: Rami Malek, Russell Crowe, Richard E. Grant
Release Date: January 9th
Based on the book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist by Jack El-Hai, Nuremberg follows the true story of the titular court trials held by the Allies after the end of World War II.
Douglas Kelley, an American psychiatrist, is left in charge of deciding whether Nazi prisoners at Nuremberg prison are fit to stand trial for their crimes during the war – among them Hermann Göring, Hitler’s right-hand man.
The two enter a battle of wits, with Göring vowing to ‘escape the hangman’s noose’ for the atrocities he was part of, while Kelley is desperate to make sure the right people are held accountable for their actions and ensure history never repeats itself.

With Smurfette taking the lead, the gang head off into the real world, making new friends in order to save their beloved Papa and save their world.
Batman / Batman Returns / Batman Forever / Batman & Robin
Genre: Action
Starring: Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Val Kilmer, Nicole Kidman
Release Date: January 1st
Before Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy came a string of Batman movies that set the stage for the modern superhero blockbuster. Now you can watch the original quartet on Sky Cinema.
Starting with Michael Keaton under the mask in _Batman (_1989), follow our favourite billionaire vigilante as he saves Gotham City from Jack Nicholson’s Joker, who determined to bring Gotham to its knees with his own unique brand of chaos.
Keaton is back for Batman Returns to face off against Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman and Danny DeVito’s Penguin, before Batman Forever sees the late Val Kilmer become the Caped Crusader as he battles Tommy Lee-Jones’ Two-Face and Jim Carrey’s Riddler.
And then... two words, Bat Nipples! George Clooney inherits the cowl in Batman & Robin as he tackles Arnold Schwarzenegger’s chilly Mr Freeze and Uma Thurman as the thorny Poison Ivy.
The Matrix Trilogy
Genre: Sci-Fi
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving
Release Date: January 1st
This fantasy sci-fi defined the term ‘cool’ when first released in the 90s, and now you can watch the entire saga play out from the comfort of your home.
Keanu Reeves stars as Neo, a computer programmer who discovers the world around him is not all it seems to be when he’s contacted by Morpheus, a man with a plan to take down the simulated world humanity is unknowingly a part of.

Genre: Action
Starring: Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Suki Waterhouse

In a world where humans and Pokémon live and work alongside each other, Tim Goodman has long given up on his dream of becoming a Pokémon trainer.
But when his father, private investigator Harry Goodman, goes missing and is presumed dead, he knows he needs to step into action. On the hunt for the truth behind his father’s disappearance, he teams with Detective Pikachu, a cuddly, yellow, deerstalker-wearing Pokémon with a taste for coffee.
