Angry Birds

This film takes us to an island paradise populated entirely by happy, flightless birds - or almost all of them. In this paradise, Red, a bird with an anger problem, the harried Chuck, and the unpredictable Bomb have always been sidelined. But when mysterious green pigs arrive on the island, it will be the mission of this group of outcasts to discover what the pigs are up to.

Triple 9

Ex-Special Forces agent Michael Atwood and his team of corrupt cops rob a bank in broad daylight. While investigating the spectacular heist, Inspector Jeffrey Allen is still unaware that his own nephew Chris, an upstanding policeman, is now a teammate of one of the thugs. The head of the Russian-Israeli mafia, the redoubtable Irina Vlaslov, orders the team to carry out one last extremely risky robbery. Michael sees only one way out: to divert the attention of the entire police force by triggering a code "999" - meaning "A policeman is down". But nothing goes according to plan...

The Man Who Knew Infinity

In colonial India in 1913, Srinivasa Ramanujan, a young man of 25 works as a simple office clerk. However, his talent is quite different: he has an innate flair for mathematics. Determined to follow the voice of numbers, despite the refusal of his superiors and his family, he wrote to G. H. Hardy, one of the most renowned English professors of mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge. Hardy recognised Ramanujan's originality and genius and overcame the reluctance of the academics to bring this diamond in the rough to Cambridge. For a journey into the unknown, Ramanujan abandoned his country, his family and his wife Janaki. Arriving in England, he was able to build on the understanding and confidence of his mentor Hardy. Under his protection, Ramanujan's theories develop into formulas that change the world of mathematics and the attitudes of many scientists.

Eye in the Sky

The fight against terrorism has, in modern times, changed its face. Often, drones are sent instead of soldiers to eliminate dangerous terrorists - everything has turned into a high-tech war. Drones are used to monitor people and launch attacks. Colonel Katherine Powell commands one of these attacks in Nairobi from a base in England. In a house, two terrorists were found preparing for an attack. The surveillance camera shows them: explosive belts are lying on their beds. Stewen Watts has to kill them from a distance. Shortly before he is due to carry out his contract, a little girl enters the combat zone and gives him cause for doubt. Should the death of an innocent girl be taken into account? Lieutenant General Frank Benson and Foreign Secretary James Willett are called in to make this difficult decision. The pressure mounts, as time is running out for the military troop.

X-Men: Apocalypse

Since the institution of the principle "the law of the strongest", mutation, which appears as a great advantage in changing climatic conditions, counts as a driving force for the maintenance of a species. Man, homo sapiens, has always seen himself as the crowning achievement of creation. But now - with the appearance of mutants - humans are seeing their position threatened by homo sapiens superior. They are indeed under threat. For no other embodies the maxim "survival of the fitest" better than Apocalypse, the very first mutant. But Apocalypse doesn't cut corners in his fight for survival, because mutants who show weaknesses must also disappear. Awakening from a slumber of thousands of years and disillusioned by the world he discovers, he gathers powerful mutants including Magneto to cleanse humanity and reign over a new order. Raven and Professor X will join forces to confront their most dangerous enemy and save humanity from total destruction.
