From super heroes to animated family fun, Vue Cinema at Swindon’s Greenbridge Leisure Park has something for everyone this summer, offering ample opportunity for families to make the most of the summer holidays together.
Super Hero movies are high on the list of big blockbusters, including two of the most anticipated comic book adaptations this summer. Firstly, there is director James Gunn’s reimagined take on Superman, bringing DC Comics’ iconic hero to the big screen once more. The Man of Steel returns to battle foes like Lex Luthor while teaming up with classic characters Lois Lane, Green Lantern and his trusty pal Krypto the Super dog, and then there is return of Marvel Comics ‘First Family’ The Fantastic Four, this movie has been eagerly awaited and long coming after several hit and misses that have shown across the big screen over the years.
The movie is set in a retro-futuristic 1960s, but in an alternative universe and starts Phase Six of the MCU. Directed by Matt Shakman who is a self confessed fan of the Fantastic Four is the perfect man for taking the helm to introduce the Fantastic Four into the MCU, for the team here at Entertainment Swindon, this is the movie of the summer, not to be missed!
Meanwhile, fans can expect something new (and something blue) with the latest animated outing of Smurfs. Featuring an all-star cast – including John Goodman, Hannah Waddingham and musical legend Rihanna as Smurfette – the tiny heroes must head to the real world to save Papa Smurf from the evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel. Packed with hilarious hijinks that the whole family can enjoy, Smurfs heads to Vue from 18 July.
Following their newfound fame as good guys, The Bad Guys are still struggling to find trust after years of robbing banks and causing mayhem. However, when they’re ‘pulled out of retirement’ by an all-female squad of criminals, can the former villains stay on the straight and narrow? Packed with laugh out loud moments, catch The Bad Guys 2 red-handed at Vue this school holiday from 25 July.
For the opportunity to catch recent family favourites on the big screen for a very small price, Vue’s Mighty Mornings screenings will be taking place every day across the break. Ideal for kids between four and 11, catch recent favourites such as Lilo & Stitch, A Minecraft Movie, How to Train Your Dragon and Elio, with prices from just £2.49 a ticket when booked online.
For younger audiences, Vue will also be bringing some of the most popular children’s characters back as part of their Big Shorts series. Aimed at younger children between one and four, the screenings are hosted in a relaxed environment with dimmed lighting. This summer younger viewers can look forward to a special bumper screening of the highly anticipated Cbeebies Musical: The Great Ice Cream Hunt.
General Manager at Vue Swindon Kasia Burczak, said: “As we head into the school holidays, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Vue. From super heroic stories to animated adventures, it’s the perfect destination for families to escape, unwind, and get lost in great stories on the big screen.”
