As we wave goodbye to summer and usher in the change of climate that comes with September, what better way to avoid those inevitable cloudy days than with a trip to the cinema? The drab British weather will be the last thing on your mind as you kick back and enjoy the latest blockbusters, indies and everything in between.
September also happens to be a jam-packed month for films to enjoy, with recognisable faces for the whole family including Tom & Jerry and Shaun the Sheep, not to mention plenty of options for the older crowd such as Resident Evil and Sense and Sensibility. Plus, any chance to see Hugh Jackman on the big screen, in The Death of Robin Hood no less, is worth shouting about.
If you’re looking to catch a couple of movies in September then it’s well worth checking out Cineworld Unlimited, the only membership that grants you access to countless screenings, all for the price of roughly two tickets. It also comes with incredible discounts on popcorn, drinks and more, so you can really treat yourself during every visit.
Here’s what’s coming up in September at Cineworld:
The Death of Robin Hood (4th September)
Hugh Jackman as an aged but no less dangerous Robin Hood? You had us at Hugh. This is a much darker version of the English outlaw than we’re used to seeing, as Robin Hood is now an old man who has to reckon with all the crimes that he himself has committed. You can see as much from the trailer that the film feels like one-part character analysis, another-part John Wick with plenty of violence along the way, and what could be a more winning formula than that?
Leviticus (4th September)
We’re living in a fantastic time for horror films right now, with unique and original ideas that really push the boundaries of the genre, and Leviticus looks like it might be the next great addition to keep that going. Part coming of age/queer romance story, Leviticus takes a turn when a terrifying entity, brought about by a religious cult, threatens the happiness of our main characters and must be stopped before it’s too late.
Pressure (9th September)
So many films have done a phenomenal job of depicting the D-Day invasion and the horrors of what it was like on the ground, but Pressure takes a step back and tells the untold story of the planning that went into the invasion, and how multiple storms threatened to throw the entire plan out of the window. With an understanding that the invasion must take place no matter what or risk losing the war entirely, the tension in Pressure is palpable, and it’s driven by an incredible cast including Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott.
Tom & Jerry: Forbidden Compass (9th September)
Everyone’s favourite cat and mouse duo are back for another adventure, only this time they’re transported to a world inspired by Chinese mythology. While typical hijinks ensue, the compass that sent them to this new world is eagerly sought after by nefarious forces, and soon it is up to Tom and Jerry to work together to keep their new friends safe.
BOOK TOM & JERRY: FORBIDDEN COMPASS TICKETS
Fall 2 (11th September)
Anyone who’s afraid of heights should probably sit this one out, but for cinemagoers who love edge-of-your-seat tension that prevents you from looking away, Fall 2 is a must-see flick. Looking to up the ante even more from its predecessor, Fall 2 sees Jax Hunter, the older sister of Shiloh from the first film, look to honour her memory by tackling one of the most dangerous mountainside walks in all of Thailand. When things take a turn for the worst however, Jax and her friend Luce have a decision to make: face their fears and continue or stay where they are and perish.
Don’t Look Back in Anger (11th September)
Very few comeback tours can compete with the long-awaited return of Oasis. After all, even the most hopeful fans never really expected the Gallagher brothers to reunite for rehearsals, let alone a full-on international tour with no less than 41 shows, and yet against the odds it worked, but even more than that, it was epic. Now, thanks to Don’t Look Back in Anger, you can see the behind-the-scenes footage of everything that went into making the tour such a success. For both new and long-time fans of Oasis, this is a must-see documentary.
BOOK DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER TICKETS
Runner (11th September)
Owen Wilson has been in quite a few buddy-action comedies over the years but in Runner, we see him get paired up with the absolute unit of a man that is Alan Ritchson and we are here for it. In this death-defying team-up, our stars are tasked with transporting a new liver to a child who’s gravely ill in hospital, but on the way they are forced to reckon with a nefarious group who want the liver to sell on the black market.
Practical Magic 2 (11th September)
It’s been almost 30 years since we last checked in with the Owens sisters, played ever so brilliantly by Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, but now it’s time for a family reunion, only this time there are more seats at the table. Joey King and Maisie Williams join the cast as Kylie and Antonia Owens, both of whom have to reckon with their family history and what the Owens curse might have in store for them.
Resident Evil (18th September)
Gamers unite – it’s time for a trip to Raccoon City, but not as you know it. This reinterpretation by recent horror legend Zach Cregger, the man behind Barbarian and Weapons, has us following Bryan (Austin Abrams) in what is sure to be the most terrifying night of his life. If there’s one thing we’ve learned it’s that Gregger knows how to terrify an audience, and within the world of Resident Evil, we can’t wait to see what he does with it all.
Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom (18th September)
The last two Shaun the Sheep films were an absolute delight, blending the days of silent film with Aardman’s brilliant eye for animation and humour, and now we get to spend another outing with everyone’s favourite woolly friend in Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom. This time, it’s up to Shaun, Timmy and the rest of the farmyard gang to stop a furry monster from ruining their Halloween celebrations.
BOOK SHAUN THE SHEEP: THE BEAST OF MOSSY BOTTOM TICKETS
Bad Apples (18th September)
In Bad Apples, teacher Maria Spencer (Saoirse Ronan) is having the absolute day from hell, mostly due to an unruly student who simply won’t listen to any of the rules she sets. Well, instead of booking a holiday or sinking into a hot bath, Maria takes it upon herself to kidnap the student in question, effectively giving her the opportunity to teach unperturbed. This is as dark as a comedy can get, particularly as the tension builds with the effort to locate the missing student, but Bad Apples will have you laughing and gripped to the edge of your seat in equal measure.
Sense and Sensibility (25th September)
Sense and Sensibility is one of the most enduring novels of the 19th century and so we can’t wait to see how this latest adaptation turns out. What’s really caught our attention is the outstanding cast attached to the project, including Daisy Edgar-Jones, Caitríona Balfe and George McKay, just to name a few. If you’ve yet to experience this incredible story of how families can come together during moments of adversity and find closer connection with one another., then now’s your chance.
BOOK SENSE AND SENSIBILITY TICKETS
Heart of the Beast (25th September)
Over the course of his career, we’ve seen Brad Pitt face off against serial killers, assassins and even space, but in Heart of the Beast, he’s coming straight back down to earth to take his chances in the sprawling American wilderness. After a plane crash sees James Belmont (Pitt) and his trust canine companion Odin stranded in the heart of Alaska, the two must work together and use their wits to outsmart mother nature and make it back to safety.
Hope (25th September)
From Oldboy to Train to Busan, South Korean cinema has given us countless gems over the years and it now look as if Na Hong-jin’s Hope could be the next great addition to that lineage. The film depicts a small town that has to band together in order to protect itself from an alien invasion. With the town cut off from reinforcements, will the townsfolks have what it takes to defend their home? You’ll have to catch a screening of Hope to find out.
