The Big Screen Thriller: Nope (Rating 4/5 Stars)
his sci-fi horror film from Jordan Peele is a must-see on Cineworld’s biggest screens.

Peele, director of Get Out and Us, is known for crafting thought-provoking thrillers that provide social commentary on race and culture. Nope is no exception, using an extraterrestrial threat as a metaphor to explore humanity’s obsession with spectacle and our desire to capture strange and unexplainable events.
With stunning cinematography that showcases the vastness of the ranch landscape and skies, Nope is a film best enjoyed in a cinema. Peele keeps you guessing until the end, doling out clues and scares in equal measure. The tension builds steadily, leading to a finale that is as bizarre as it is unsettling.
