Ultimate Edition

Theatrical cut

To describe the film makes it sound ridiculous, a man (Joaquin Phoenix) going through a divorce invests in a new AI operating system (Scarlett Johansson) and they fall in love, but the execution is what counts here. Spike Jonze crafts another mesmerising film that never pokes fun of its setup and with acting talent as great as Phoenix and Johansson (in voice only) becomes a deeply affecting story of love.

Marvel have done it again, this time with a twist to the usual format. The Winter Soldier is more of a spy thriller than an action film (although the action's not lacking) and has built on the decent first film. It has also set up an intriguing development in the Marvel universe going forward.

Roll on Guardians of the Galaxy at the end of the summer!
