Iñárritu & Cruise Team Up for ‘Digger’: Where to Catch the Year’s Wildest Satire in Aurora This Weekend
Forget the forecast—Aurora’s biggest climate event this Friday isn’t rolling in off the plains, it’s hitting the big screen. Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s razor-sharp disaster satire Digger lands in local theaters this week, and with Tom Cruise heading the ensemble, the hype is officially at altitude.
If you’ve spent any time watching the smoke drift over the Rockies or dodging hail on E-470, the premise hits close to home. Digger follows a media mogul (Cruise) attempting to quite literally dig his way out of a collapsing ecosystem, blending Iñárritu’s signature long-takes with a pitch-black sense of humor about billionaire survivalism. Think The Revenant meets Network, but with way better product placement.
Where to see it in Aurora: * Regal Aurora & IMAX (Town Center at Aurora): The obvious choice for scope. Iñárritu shot this for the giant screen; the IMAX laser projection here handles the dust storms beautifully. * AMC DINE-IN Aurora 12 (Southlands): Perfect for the "dinner and a movie" crowd. Grab a burger and a local Colorado Native lager in your recliner before the world ends. * Cinemark Century 16 (Aurora Mall): Solid value, reserved seating, and usually the easiest parking lot to navigate on a Friday night.
Pro tip: Friday and Saturday nights will sell out fast. Snag seats via the theater apps now—aim for center-row, about two-thirds back for that sweet Dolby Atmos mix.
Whether you’re decompressing from a week at Buckley or just need a break from the I-225 commute, Digger is the rare blockbuster that feels made for right now. See you in the dark.
