Directed by Angus MacLane, Lightyear is part of the Toy Story series. Chris Evans voices Buss Lightyear. The franchise’s popularity sparks a space ranger to the front as the cadet goes to infinity and… beyond. China’s talented Mu Le’en also stars.
I saw a post on Facebook, so it might not be accurate. That said, the story is about the hero, Lightyear. Thus, the Lightyear toy became a product.
Directed by Lana Wachowski, if The Matrix Resurrections is as good as its trailers, we are in for a great franchise rebirth starring Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Neil Patrick Harris and Jada Pinkett Smith.
It’s so cool that “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane plays throughout the trailer. The storyline is just enough so as not to ruin the outcome.
Co-directed by Sarah Smith Jean-Philippe Vine and Octavio E. Rodriguez, Ron’s Gone Wrong follows Barney, voiced by Jack Dylan Grazer, socially awkward middle-schooler, and Ron, voiced by Zach Galifianakis, his new walking, talking, digitally connected device.
Ron is supposedly his “Best Friend out of the Box.” Ron’s hilarious malfunctions set against the backdrop of the social media age. Launch them into an action-packed journey in which boy and robot come to terms with the wonderful messiness of genuine friendship.
Other voice actors include Olivia Coleman, Ed Helms, Justice Smith and Kylie Cantrall.
Written and directed by Lisa Joy, Reminiscence follows Nick Bannister, played by Hugh Jackman, as a scientist who develops a technology to go back into time. He searches for his long, lost love, played by Rebecca Ferguson.
Also starring in this science fiction movie are Thandiwe Newton, Natalie Martinez and Brett Cullen.
According to Netflix, where the movie streams and posted by IMDB, The Mitchells vs. The Machines, an animated movie, follows an ordinary family who finds themselves in the middle of their biggest family challenge yet — saving the world from the robot apocalypse.
When a film school of her dreams accepts creative outsider Katie Mitchell, she’s eager to leave home and find “her people,” when her nature-loving dad insists on having the whole family drive her to school and bond during one last totally-not-awkward-or-forced road trip.
But when the trip can’t get any worse, the family suddenly finds itself in the middle of the robot uprising. Everything from smartphones to Roombas to evil Furbys tries to capture every human on the planet.
Now it’s up to the Mitchells, including upbeat mom Linda, quirky little brother Aaron, their squishy pug, Monchi, and two friendly but simple-minded robots to save humanity.
Co-written and co-directed by Mike Rianda and Jeff Rowe, the voice cast includes Abbi Jacobson, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph and Olivia Coleman.
Written by Zach Dean and directed by Chris McKay, The Tomorrow War begins with a world in shock when a group of time travelers arrives from the year 2051 to deliver an urgent message: Thirty years in the future, humanity is losing a global war against a deadly alien species.
Their only hope for survival is soldiers and civilians from the present to be transported to the future and join the fight.
Among those recruited is a high school teacher and family man, Dan Forester, played by Chris Pratt. Determined to save the world for his young daughter, Dan teams up with a brilliant scientist, played by Yvonne Strahovski, and his estranged father, played by J. K. Simmons, in a desperate quest to rewrite the fate of the planet.
Thank you IMDB for help with this information.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and based on Marvel Comics, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will focus on the story known as Shang-Chi: The Master of Kung-Fu, starring Simu Liu and Awkwafina. Tony Chiu-Wai Leung also stars as Wenwu.
Written and directed by Neil Burger, Voyagers is about the future of humanity at stake. A group of young men and women, bred for intelligence and obedience, embark on an expedition to colonize a distant planet. But when they uncover disturbing secrets about the mission, they defy their training and explore their most primitive natures.
As life on the ship descends into chaos, they become consumed by fear, lust, and the insatiable hunger for power. The film stars Tye Sheridan, Lily-Rose Depp, Fionn Whitehead, Chanté Adams, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Viveik Kalra, Archie Madekwe, Quintessa Swindell, Madison Hu and Colin Farrell.
The storyline and a young adult cast helmed by Burger seem like a sure-fire hit. Burger’s movie credits include Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper, about a man who takes a pill and has unlimited mental capacity. Eddie soars to the top of the financial world. Still, the philosophical aspect of Burger’s touch proves that going up the pole without naturally developing your talent is socially and spiritually dangerous. The Illusionist is another well-crafted movie by Burger, where the protagonist steps out of the natural realm of progression and defies convention.
So, what happened to Voyagers?
Some of the reviewers say it’s Lord of the Flies in space. I beg to differ, though I can see why they think it. Kids are trapped alone without adult supervision and socially self-destruct. The book’s author, William Golding, put boys on the island, contrary to the spaceship with girls and boys. Perhaps the reviewers only read the Cliffnotes instead of the whole book, according to the teacher’s instructions. There is an adult onboard the space vessel — Colin Farrell.
Perhaps the secrets kept from the crew fell flat. Or, similar to Limitless, unnatural elements that cause supreme powers based on their breeding for intelligence and obedience are complex for teenagers, predominate audience, to believe.
Look at Voyagers today. It’s available at most streaming outlets.
Based on Frank Herbert’s book and directed by Denis Villeneuve, Dune follows Paul Atreides, played by Timothee Chalamet, who goes on a mythical and emotionally charged journey. Paul is a brilliant young man born into a destiny beyond his comprehension.
He travels to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure his family and people’s future. Malevolent forces explode into conflict over the pant’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence, a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s most significant potential. But it is those who can conquer their fear that will survive.
Villeneuve co-wrote the screenplay with Jon Spaihts and Eric Roth. Hans Zimmer composes the music for the science fiction film. The rest of the cast includes Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard, Javier Bardem, Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista.
Directed by Adam Wingard, Godzilla vs. Kong is the next epic cinematic chapter in the battle of the two most significant icons in motion picture history. All as CGI, the fearsome Godzilla, and the mighty Kong fight it out with humanity caught in the balance.
Yes, the legends collide as Godzilla and Kong, some of the most potent forces of nature, clash on the big screen in a spectacular battle for the ages.
A squadron embarks on a dangerous mission into fantastic uncharted terrain, unearthing clues to the Titans’ very origins and humankind’s survival. A conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures from the face of the earth forever, whether they are good or evil.
Watching the trailer, I am impressed. The line, “It’s Godzilla.” is nostalgia.
Written for the screen by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein from the story by Terry Rossio, Michael Dougherty, and Zach Shields, the film has an impressive cast that includes Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Kyle Chandler, and Rebecca Hall.
