Omniplex Tuesday Treat - What new release movie deserves your €5 this week?

There are as many as five new releases in Tralee Omniplex for your Tuesday treat this week - and two are available in the new MAXX screen, which although will cost you €8 for each viewing is still a decent saving of the cost of an MAXX feature on any another time of the week. So without further ado, let's see what choices are available to audiences this week at the very affordable price of €5.

Fifty Shades Darker:
The second installment of the Fifty Shades franchise based on the E.L James books sees Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson resume their roles as Christian and Anastasia in what has been unsurprisingly poorly received by the critics for lacking chemistry and narrative and it appears the novelty of this particular series has well and truly worn off. Also available in MAXX Screen is you're so inclined!

The Lego Batman Movie:
Missing the novelty factor of the Lego Movie but with such a relentless line of continous gags for young and old and voiced by the highly entertaining Will Arnett, the Lego Batman Movie will not disappoint audiences of any age and is undoubtedly worth your five euro this Tuesday. Also being shown in MAXX Screen.

Loving:
Directed by the highly talented Jeff Nichols and starring Oscar nominated Ruth Negga and Jeff Edgerton, this true story of love's triumph over racial adversity in Virginia is a powerful piece of filmmaking elevated by its strong performances and is well worth a watch just to sample the brilliantly understated portrayal by Ireland's Ruth Negga. She may miss out to Natalie Portman come Oscar night but she most definitely deserves her seat at the Oscar table on Awards night.

Lion:
A strong directorial debut from Garth Davies and including powerful performances from Oscar nominated Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman, this story of a young man's quest to trace his roots is both uplifting and devoid of any of the usual cliches that may appear in such a movie and is another great choice for your Tuesday viewing.

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk:
Shot innovatively in high frame rate, this fails to hide this latest movie by Ang Lee's shortcomings, as the powerful subject matter revolving around the return of a young soldier and the preception versus the reality of war is never matched by a strong enough script and the film obvously suffers as a result. With so many strong choices to choose from this week, this one may be one to catch on home release.
