Spider-Man: Brand New Day

2026· 2h 25m

The biggest action event in Hamburg this week

Peter Parker operates in a world that has forgotten him, facing a villain nobody can even see — that premise gives this superhero blockbuster genuine tension on top of the spectacle. The action sequences are relentless and the stakes keep escalating, with Parker's transformation arc adding real weight without killing the pace. With 97 showtimes across 7 cinemas, this is the week's must-see on a proper big screen.

High-concept invisible villain raises the stakes well above standard superhero fare
Relentless pacing — very little downtime between set-pieces
Widest availability in the city this week; no excuse to miss it

Showtimes & details

The Terminator

The blueprint for sci-fi action — still hits harder than most modern films

Cameron's 1984 original is a pure machine: an unstoppable cyborg assassin hunting one woman across a city, with a desperate soldier as her only shield. No padding, no subplots that go nowhere — just relentless escalation and set-pieces that defined the genre. Playing this week with 3 showtimes across 2 cinemas, so plan ahead.

Arnie as the T-800 remains one of cinema's great screen threats
Lean 108-minute runtime with near-zero wasted scenes
Practical effects and tight direction hold up completely

Not currently screening

Tuner

A heist thriller with a genuinely clever hook

A piano tuner whose precision ear translates into safecracking is a fresh angle for a crime thriller, and Tuner builds its tension the right way — craft leading to consequence. It's not pure adrenaline; it's closer to the methodical cool of Heat than an action blowout, but the payoff is satisfying. Only 2 showtimes this week across 2 cinemas — catch it while you can.

Heist mechanics built around a unique, character-driven premise
Crime-thriller energy with real stakes and a slow-burn that pays off
Screenings are limited — one of the harder films to catch this week
