David Ayer strands Special Forces officer James Belmont and his combat dog Odin deep in the Alaskan wilderness after a harrowing plane crash, forcing a raw fight against the elements. Brad Pitt and J.K. Simmons anchor a lean, high-stakes thriller that lands a 7.5 on IMDb, and the Alaskan scale begs for a big screen. English screenings are thin this week, so plan ahead to catch it.

Tom Holland's Peter Parker fights crime full time in a world that has forgotten him, and the pressure sparks a change he may not control as a powerful villain no one can see menaces the city. With a strong 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.1 on IMDb, this is big, kinetic science fiction action made for the largest screen you can find. It plays in English in Hamburg, but screenings are scarce this week, so move fast.
