Spider-Man 2 at the IMAX

Sacked from his day job and in risk of losing another; deteriorating grades at college and losing the girl of your dreams - surely life couldn't get much worse for Peter Parker?

Well in fact it does. Two years have passed since Peter (Tobey Maguire) made the ultimate sacrifice to walk away from his beloved Mary Jane/M.J (Kirsten Dunst) and the challenges that face Peter are greater than ever – proving that not all superheroes live happily ever after. Anguished by guilt and troubled by his secrets, Peter begins to wonder if the gift of his superpowers is really worth the sacrifice and emotional pain he endures.

Then comes along a new nemesis to add to the problems. When the experiments of well-intentioned Dr Octavius (Alfred Molina) go wrong, an ogre in the form of 'Dr. Octopus' is unleashed to terrorise the metropolis. It's then up to Peter to decide whether to put aside his personal yearnings once more to help save the city from destruction.

Spectacular and thrilling encounters together with equally stunning cinematography make this a film you do not want to miss. Nor would you want to miss the IMAX experience and the larger than life images and sounds that serve to enhance the film. Catch it while you can before you miss out.

• Spider-Man 2: The IMAX Experience (12A) is at the London IMAX at Waterloo daily until Friday 26 September (0870 787 2525).
