Review: Transformers: Age of Extinction ★☆☆☆☆
A mega-blockbuster that somehow feels ridiculously cheap, says our writer Ben Robins.
Review: How To Train Your Dragon 2 ★★★★★
This is a sequel that delivers on every front; it increases the scale, expands the mythology, goes to unexpected places and still holds on to what worked the first time, says Harrison Abbott.
Film round-up: 07/07/2014 – 13/07/2014

Film round-up: 30/06/2014 – 06/07/2014
Long titles, Iain Somerhalder in a feature film and references to Babe: Pig In The City; could it get any better than this?
Review: Jersey Boys ★★★★☆
The true story of the iconic band singing about Big Girls not crying and boys trying to Walk Like Men, reviewed by Barnaby Walter
Film round-up: 23/06/2014 – 29/06/2014
This week’s UK releases sees a culinary comedy, two musicals and a whole new bunch of thrillers hitting the big screens.
Review: Oculus ★★★★☆
Mike Flanagan produces an excellent sense of impending dread throughout Oculus, always present as an undercurrent ready to boil to the surface, says Jack Dillon.
Review: Miss Violence ★★☆☆☆
Resting somewhere between pitch-black comedy and unrelentingly bleak drama, Miss Violence proves a deeply difficult experience, says Andy Southcott.
Review: The Fault in Our Stars ★★☆☆☆
A film that was characterised by inappropriate amusements, awkward narrating, unnecessary Hollywood romanticisation and an abundance of cliché.
Review: Belle ★★★★☆
This drama is brilliantly scripted and admirably places the romantic as the subplot, instead stressing social criticism with authentic execution.
Film round-up: 16/06/2014 – 22/06/2014
The second installment of The Edge’s film round-up is here! Check out what is to be release in UK cinemas this week.
Review: 22 Jump Street ★★★★☆
Phil Lord and Chris Miller have produced a comedy sequel that is just as funny, if not funnier, than its predecessor, says Jack Dillon.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Footage Screening with Andy Serkis
