Top Gun, Wonder Woman, Mulan and Bond are just some of the cinematic treats heading our way.
A very different depiction of war comes in this World War One epic from Sam Mendes, the Oscar-winning director of American Beauty and the last two Bonds.
Based on a story told to Mendes by his grandfather, 1917 sees two young British soldiers on a race against time to avert a devastating assault on their comrades in arms. Mendes' bold conceit is to tell the story of their mission in what looks like a seamless single shot - one that takes the viewer into trenches, across battlefields and even under water.
George McKay and Dean-Charles Chapman play the callow leads in a film whose starry ensemble also includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth and Andrew Scott. Earlier this year Mendes called the film, which he also co-wrote,"a big, experiential, immersive picture" that was"incredibly close to his heart".
