In the action adventure, 300: Rise of an Empire, Greek general Themistokles and Persian naval commanders Xerxes and Warrior Queen Artemisia lead their separate forces to the gory battlefield in a battle for superior power. Robin Wright stars as an actress in the sci-fi drama, The Congress, which combines live action and animation to create a provocative world where her career is taken over by a digital replica of herself. RoboCop explores futuristic possibilities in the year 2028 when a critically injured cop is transformed into a robotic superhuman. A massive global warming experiment goes awry and leaves only a few fortunate survivors to board the globe-trotting train, Snowpiercer, a new action film which garnered a whopping 94% positive critical reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Although this train provides an escape from the treacherous earthly conditions, the entrapment on the train instigates a gory uprising.
