To Infinity… @ The Planetarium

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…

WAR OF THE WORLDS at The Planetarium

IN THIS HAUNTING SCI-FI THRILLER, OUR WORLD IS IN THEIR HANDS

As we move into December, we’re presenting a 20th anniversary screening of War Of The Worlds. Steven Spielberg masterfully adapts the seminal H.G. Wells novel for the 21st Century, bringing the scale of the alien invasion to life without losing sight of the existential dread of the source material. Harrowing and haunting, it’s another example of Spielberg’s proficiency in producing PG-13 horror (or 12-rated for us Brits!).
