MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Violence, Sexual Content)
Genre: Science Fiction
Director: Bong Joon Ho
Cast: Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, Anamaria Vartolomei
A mostly failed attempt to merge sci-fi with satire, "Mickey 17" suffers from a fragmented narrative and a scenery-chewing performance from Mark Ruffalo.
U.S. Release Date: 2025-02-28
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Dito Montiel
Cast: Ed Harris, Lewis Pullman, Jennifer Coolidge, Gabrielle Union, Bill Murray, Pete Davidson, Miles J. Harvey, Emanuela Postachini, Michael Covino
A perfectly adequate thriller with bleakly comedic overtones but, with a cast this accomplished, better expectations are reasonable.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Scenes of Peril, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Alex Parkinson
Cast: Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, Finn Cole, Cliff Curtis, Mark Bonnar
The production is workmanlike but it feels more like a good made-for-streaming production than an immersive big-screen experience.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Adventure
Director: Julius Onah
Cast: Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Tim Blake Nelson, Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler
Despite name-dropping a Marvel mainstay in the title, this is pure filler.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Science Fiction/Thriller
Director: Scott Derrickson
Cast: Miles Teller, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sigourney Weaver
The buildup is fantastic. They payoff, with its generic action scenes and generic zombie/alien monster, is not.
