Spider-Man: Brand New Day

2026· 2h 25m

The superhero spectacle action fans need on a big screen

Peter Parker fights an invisible new threat in a world that has forgotten him — personal stakes plus relentless set pieces make this land harder than most entries in the genre. At 145 minutes it earns every one of them, with a villain concept that keeps tension genuinely unpredictable. Playing everywhere in Lucerne this week, so there is no excuse to miss it.

Obsession

Dark wish-fulfillment thriller with a sinister bite

The wish-gone-wrong premise could have been lazy, but this one leans into horror-thriller tension and delivers a dark payoff. The R rating means they did not sand the edges off — expect genuine menace rather than PG scares. Not pure action, but the escalating dread and kinetic third act give it real edge.

R-rated payoff with actual consequences
Solid showing across two cinemas — easy to catch this week

Toy Story 5

More adventure than expected — solid if you have family along

This is not an action film and it does not pretend to be, but Toy Story 5 has actual adventure stakes and a conflict setup that does not insult your intelligence. Tight 102-minute runtime means it does not overstay its welcome. Best if you have kids in tow or want a reliably crafted payoff without the R-rated grit.
