Heart of the Beast

2026· 1h 45m

A brutal wilderness survival thriller with real stakes

David Ayer strands Brad Pitt and his combat dog Odin deep in the Alaskan wild after a plane crash, and it stays a lean, forward-driving fight against the elements. It earns 85% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5 on IMDb, and that frozen scale demands the biggest screen you can find. It is playing in English in Barcelona this week with plenty of screenings to catch.

A fists-first tournament brawler, pure kinetic action

Andrew Koji's Ryu, Noah Centineo's Ken, and Callina Liang's Chun-Li get pulled into a World Warrior Tournament that hides a deadly conspiracy, which means one brutal bout after another. The story takes a back seat, but the fighting is the whole point and it hits hard on a big screen. It is playing in English in Barcelona this week across several screenings.
