Cinema lovers have a variety of new films to choose from as six exciting premieres hit screens today, Thursday (03.07.2025). Among the highlights is the blockbuster ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’, which debuts tonight in theaters nationwide. However, the standout film this week is ’47’, an award-winning historical drama from Spain directed by Marcel Barrena.
’47’ (‘El 47’) tells the inspiring true story of Manolo Vital, a bus driver who defied authorities in 1970s Barcelona to bring public transport to a marginalized community. The film celebrates unity, resistance, and the power of ordinary people to enact change. It has won five Goya Awards, including Best Film, and features strong performances and a memorable soundtrack by Valeria Castro.
Meanwhile, fans of adventure can catch the highly anticipated sequel ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ (‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’), directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. While it delivers impressive visuals and action sequences, the plot feels derivative and lacks depth, relying heavily on nostalgia and spectacle rather than storytelling.
Other releases include:
– ‘The Psychiatrist Is Insane’ (‘Jamais Sans Mon Psy’): A predictable French comedy starring Christian Clavié, offering little beyond tired tropes and weak jokes.
– ‘The Salt Path’: A British biographical drama based on a bestselling memoir. Despite its heartfelt themes, it leans too heavily on clichés and fails to fully capture the emotional depth of the source material.
– ‘Cool Hand Luke’: A classic 1967 prison drama starring Paul Newman, returning to theaters in a digital re-release to celebrate the actor’s centenary.
– ‘The Myth of Marakuda’: A Russian animated film aimed at children, following a young boy’s magical forest adventure after accidentally shrinking his father.
With such a diverse lineup, moviegoers are sure to find something to enjoy across genres—from inspiring dramas and thrilling adventures to nostalgic classics and family-friendly animation.
