EDGE OF TOMORROW at The Planetarium

  • The Planetarium We The Curious, Millennium Square, Bristol, BS1 5SZ United Kingdom (map)
A cleverly crafted and propulsively executed sci-fi thriller
— Justin Chang (Variety)

DOORS: 18:30 | FILM STARTS 18:50

We’re over the moon (pun intended) to be returning to the Planetarium at We The Curious in 2024 after two years away. A fire closed this beloved venue’s doors, but now that’s it back, we’ve got a stellar series of space and sci-fi screenings lined up!

Explore the Planetarium’s Space exhibition before the screening and see if you’re cut out for a life in space, then recline in this unique screening space. As the lights dim, your journey will begin with a tour of the Solar System in a Planetarium star show - the perfect way to set the scene for your film…

We’re back at the Planetarium in September for an evening of Tom Cruise sci-fi films, starting with a 10th anniversary screening of the time-loop action thriller Edge Of Tomorrow (also known as Live. Die. Repeat.). It’s a mind-bending misadventure with great supporting turns from Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton and Brendan Gleeson, as Cruise fights for his lives…

PLEASE NOTE: tickets for our Planetarium screenings are on advance sale as they are a Festival event. Tickets for We The Curious itself will be on sale at a later date.
