It's been a terrific year of preview screenings for Unlimited members. If you need a reminder about what's been shown this year, here's our list. Plus, this could be an added incentive for anyone thinking of signing up to Cineworld Unlimited in 2022...
1. A Quiet Place: Part II
The movie John Krasinski's barnstorming sequel to his 2018 chiller sends Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds on a journey into the unknown, as they continue to battle sound-sensitive aliens. Cillian Murphy is a vital addition to the cast as a grieving father who may or may not help provide the path to safety.
What Unlimited members said
I’m absolutely stunned. Such a phenomenal sequel.

My entire screen let out a collective “no!” as the credits started.
The wait for Part 3 is going to be excruciating pic.twitter.com/UZpPXfkO3R
2. The Father
The movie Anthony Hopkins' devastating performance as an Alzheimer's-ridden parent won him his second Oscar. Olivia Colman matches him beat for beat as the emotionally wrung-out daughter in Florian Zeller's perceptive, moving and surprisingly tense adaptation of his own stage play.
What Unlimited members said
Emotional. Powerful. Impactful. Thought-provoking. Clever.

The way the film had you questioning your own mind whilst watching was incredible. A film that will remain with people for some time after watching.
Phenomenal performances from the two leads. Heartbreaking ending 😭
3. Nobody
The movie Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk opens up a can of whoop-ass as the seemingly milquetoast parent who discovers a penchant for cracking heads. It's hilarious and violent in equal measure, and that bus beatdown is one of the best scenes of the year.
What Unlimited members said
I really enjoyed it. Bob Odenkirk was terrific as Nobody and it was brilliant how his character was bored with the mundane life and actively enjoyed his more questionable way of life as opposed to the other way round. Thoroughly recommend it. #NobodyMovie #UnlimitedScreening

4. In the Heights
The movie Lin-Manuel Miranda's sunny and infectiously uplifting musical didn't set the box office alight. Nevertheless, it remains one of 2021's most joyous experiences – and boy, did we need that. Follow along with a group of dreamers and aspiring artists in Manhattan's Washington Heights district, as they dream of a better tomorrow.
What Unlimited members said
Had the vibe and storytelling style of the classic musicals of the 50's and 60's, and the exuberance of the group numbers has left me in a great mood, the cinema setting a wonderful assault on the senses. If you like musicals, I highly recommend! 🙂

5. Supernova
The movie Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci put in subtle and poignant performances in this British road trip drama. They play a devoted couple grappling with a terminal diagnosis, as director Harry Macqueen spins atmospheric beauty from the idyllic Lake District surroundings.
What Unlimited members said
A truly poignant film that is elevated to much by Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci giving their their absolute best.

Dementia is a touch subject to handle in any art form but this film touched on it in a way that felt real and genuine. It’s a sad yet soulful experience.
6. Dune
The movie Director Denis Villeneuve's penchant for fusing jaw-dropping spectacle with philosophical intrigue was on full display in his gargantuan adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic novel. Don't forget, however, that this is only the first half of the story – even greater sights will be on offer in Dune: Part Two, scheduled for release on 22nd October 2023.
What Unlimited members said
Not since Avengers: Endgame has a film kept me on edge of my seat as much as #Dune has.This film deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible. I thoroughly enjoyed it and definitely can’t wait for Part 2. #CineworldUnlimited

7. King Richard
The movie Will Smith delivers what is arguably his best performance since Ali in this inspirational sports drama. He plays Richard Williams, the overbearing and tenacious but loving father of aspiring tennis stars Venus and Serena, in a movie that lifts the curtain on one of the most remarkable stories in recent sporting history.
What Unlimited members said
Absolutely incredible sensational film! Loved it! I love unlimited card and screenings because we see films I normally would miss.
