Movies out in Dubai this week: In the Heart of the Sea, Macbeth, The Lobster, Krampus
Our top pick of the week is In The Heart Of The Sea. It stars Chris Hemsworth and is based on a true event that inspired the book Moby Dick.
IN THE HEART OF THE SEA
From Oscar-winning director Ron Howard, this epic adventure is about a crew of sailors led by Chris Hemsworth and terrorised by a vengeful white whale. Based on a true event.
MACBETH
Michael Fassbender is on top form as the tortured Scottish king in Shakespeare’s eponymous play. Marianne Cotillard plays the fair yet foul manipulative queen by his side.
THE LOBSTER
Colin Farrell stars in this quirky indie comedy set in a dystopian future, where single people are given 45 days to fall in love – or are transformed into animals. Weird, but it wowed at Cannes.
KRAMPUS
This one’s a bit of an odd mix: decent cast + Christmas family film + comedy + horror. And a giant goat-like monster called Krampus, that’s apparently the anti-Santa.
