One of the big movies out this Friday is the long awaited Star Trek Beyond. Set your phasers for fun as it would be highly illogical not to catch this one on the big screen. Sorry about all the Star Trek puns but I’m afraid resistance is futile.
BFG, The (3D) (PG)
Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Mark Rylance, Ruby Barnhill, Penelope Wilton, Rebecca Hall, Bill Hader, Jemaine Clement
Ten-year-old Sophie is in for the adventure of a lifetime when she meets the Big Friendly Giant (Mark Rylance). Naturally scared at first, the young girl soon realizes that the 24-foot behemoth is actually quite gentle and charming. As their friendship grows, Sophie’s presence attracts the unwanted attention of Bloodbottler, Fleshlumpeater and other giants. After traveling to London, Sophie and the BFG must convince Queen Victoria to help them get rid of all the bad giants once and for all.
Star Trek Beyond (3D)
Director: Justin Lin
Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Idris Elba, Sofia Boutella, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho, Anton Yelchin
A surprise attack in outer space forces the Enterprise to crash-land on a mysterious world. The assault came from Krall (Idris Elba), a lizard-like dictator who derives his energy by sucking the life out of his victims. Krall needs an ancient and valuable artifact that’s aboard the badly damaged starship. Left stranded in a rugged wilderness, Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto) and the rest of the crew must now battle a deadly alien race while trying to find a way off their hostile planet.
