**Pacific Rim** (12A) *
*(Guillermo del Toro, 2013, US) Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi. 131 mins**
You can boil this sci-fi spectacle down to Transformers vs Godzillas, but with Del Toro at the helm it's the thinking person's big, dumb blockbuster: an unironic, city-stomping smash-up mixing state-of-the-art effects with curiously antiquated action-movie dynamics. There's just enough human interest to sustain it, but this is all about giant machines, giant aliens and deafening destruction.
**Monsters University* (U)
(Dan Scanlon, 2013, US) Billy Crystal, John Goodman. 110 mins*
Animal House for pre-schoolers? The college setting is questionable and the originality scarce, making this an acceptable, colourful prequel rather than another Pixar triumph.
**The Deep* (12A)
(Baltasar Kormákur, 2012, Ice) Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Jóhann G Jóhannsson. 93 mins*
Visceral but unsensational rendition of a shipwrecked fisherman's miraculous survival in freezing Icelandic waters.
**Blancanieves* (12A)
(Pablo Berger, 2012, Spa/Fra/Bel) Maribel Verdú, Macarena Garcia. 105 mins*
A retro silent in The Artist vein, this Spanish curiosity puts a 1920s bullfighting spin on Snow White.
**Trap For Cinderella* (15)
(Iain Softley, 2013, UK) Tuppence Middleton, Alexandra Roach. 100 mins*
An amnesiac burns victim attempts to piece together her past in this twisty low-budget thriller.
**The Moo Man* (U)
(Heike Bachelier, Andy Heathcote, 2013, UK) 98 mins*
A caring local dairy farmer is posited as an endangered alternative to industrialised food production, in this year-in-the-life doc.
**We Steal Secrets: The Story Of Wikileaks* (15)
(Alex Gibney, 2013, US) 130 mins*
A polished take on the Assange/Manning saga that compensates for the absence of its two subjects with key interviewees, rigorous research and Brass Eye-level graphics.
**Citadel* (15)
(Ciaran Foy, 2012, Ire/UK) Aneurin Barnard, James Cosmo, Wunmi Mosaku. 85 mins*
Are hoodies the spawn of Satan? This social-realist horror asks the question after an attack on Barnard's pregnant wife leaves him a paranoid single dad, and potential victim.
**Cleopatra* (PG)
(Joseph L Mankiewicz, 1963, US) Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison. 251 mins*
50th-anniversary reissue for the mythically bloated Egyptian epic.
**Play* (15)
(Ruben Östlund, 2011, Swe/Den/Fin) Kevin Vaz, Anas Abdirahman, Johan Jonason. 118 mins*
Swedish race/immigration issues are broached in this controversial reconstruction of a petty youth crime, which prefers to observe rather than judge.
**Les Invisibles* (15)
(Sébastien Lifshitz, 2012, Fra) 115 mins*
Older French gay and lesbian couples look back on their lives, providing a window on a more oppressive era, and a tribute to enduring love.
**Bhaag Milkha Bhaag* (PG)
