Barranquilla's movie lineup opens this last week of August with one of the strongest release slates of the year. Leading the pack is La Odisea , Christopher Nolan's epic, now playing in the city's seven main theaters, followed closely by Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the debut of Toy Story 5 . Add to that the return of Harry Potter for its 25th anniversary and a couple of promising horror premieres. Get ready, because this week you have to choose carefully. This Week's Headliner La Odisea (The Odyssey) ⭐ 8.0/10 IMDB · Adventure · Action · Fantasy · 172 min Nolan tackles Greek mythology for the first time and the result is exactly what you'd expect from the director: ambitious, monumental and built for the biggest screen. Odysseus sets out on the long road home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, and every stop —the capricious gods, the monsters, the temptations— is shot with an almost tactile texture. It's 172 minutes that demand patience and a room with good sound, but the payoff is worth every peso. If you can only see one premiere in Barranquilla this week, make it this one; just come rested, because it never lets up.

This installment bets on street-level Spidey, the New York everyman, and the action set-pieces have a pulse that's welcome after so many multiverse movies. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's well-made superhero entertainment, with heart and humor in the right doses. It's also the widest release in the city: you'll find it across all five chains. A safe bet for the whole family. Find it at BUENAVISTA , Cinépolis
