5 . Films to watch this year
Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear has been central to four Toy Story feature films, his own TV series, and various cartoon shorts. This year, the square-jawed Space Ranger is getting a film of his own. Director Angus MacLane ( co-director of Finding Dory ) and screenwriter Pete Docter ( Soul, Up, Inside Out ) bring back a beloved character while giving his interstellar story a new look, a more serious tone, and a fresh voice:
Chris Evans rather than Tim Allen is the actor who’ll be shouting,“To infinity - and beyond!” Released internationally on 17 June
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ( Part One )
It’s unlikely that the sequel will be quite as creative, but, as the sub-title suggests, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ( Part One ) is the first episode in a two-part story, which makes it a rarity in the world of cartoon films.
Released internationally on 7 October
Avatar 2
There are two things we know about James Cameron: he can’ t be rushed, and he loves the ocean. Those qualities come together in Avatar 2. The new film returns to the planet of Pandora, where blue- skinned Neytiri ( Zeo Saldana ) and her human husband Jake ( Sam Worthington ) are now patents, and Earthlings still haven’t solved the climate crisis. Most of the action took place underwater and was shot in a 900,000-gallon tank.
Released internationally on 16 December
Top Gun: Maverick
It was back in 1986 that Tom Cruise last played Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a trainee fighter pilot in the US Navy. Can anyone really believe that, all these years later, Maverick would only be a captain while his old frenemy “Iceman” ( Val Kilmer ) would be a four-star general?
