What’s landing in cinemas today
Friday’s slate brings a weirdly wonderful trio: a videogame‑grown horror spectacle, a cartoon‑to‑courtroom comedy, and a tense historical thriller about decisions that changed the world. Short, sharp and perfect for arguing with your movie buddy over what to see first.
Resident Evil — panic by night
The newest installment of the game‑inspired saga drops viewers straight into a single, frantic night. Austin Abrams plays Bryan, a medical courier who didn’t sign up for apocalypses but gets one anyway. Director Zach Cregger piles on the chaos: collapsing systems, constant motion, and a survival sprint that never lets up.
If you like your scares with non‑stop energy and quick decision‑making, this one’s built for adrenaline. It’s less about deep exposition and more about that delicious, teeth‑grinding momentum — think run, duck, gasp, repeat.
Coyote vs. Acme — cartoon carnage meets the courtroom
This oddball comedy pulls its inspiration from classic Looney Tunes antics and a now‑famous magazine essay. The setup is gloriously silly: the perpetually unlucky Coyote, fed up with gadgets that explode or backfire, hires a small‑time lawyer (Will Forte) to sue the ever‑shady Acme Corporation.
Expect slapstick logic applied to legal proceedings — it’s a movie that winks at cartoon absurdity while letting human characters react like normal folks trying not to laugh. It’s playful, self‑aware, and the sort of film where a risqué gag or an awkwardly unclothed moment is played for laughs rather than shock.
Time of Victory — the weather that decided history
Switching gears to something grounded and tense, this thriller revisits the crucial 72 hours before D‑Day. Andrew Scott plays Captain James Stagg, the meteorologist whose forecast could change the course of the invasion. Brendan Fraser is Dwight D. Eisenhower, the leader facing a choice with massive consequences.
The movie lives in quiet, pressure‑filled moments: maps, radios, endless charts and the minds of people weighing risk. It’s a tight, intelligent film built on the idea that sometimes the world pivots not on guns, but on a weather report and a leader’s nerve.
Bottom line — which to pick?
Pick Resident Evil if you want pure, noisy entertainment and a high‑octane night at the movies. Go for Coyote vs. Acme if you’re after laughs, nostalgia, and cartoon mayhem with a legal twist. Choose Time of Victory when you’re in the mood for serious, thought‑provoking drama that keeps you tense without the spectacle.
Whichever you choose, Spain’s cinemas have something to stir your nerves, crack a smile, or make you ponder history — sometimes all in the same trip to the concession stand.
