But the case pits them against powerful interests who want to ensure that secrets about the city’s past remain buried.
From our review:
Discrimination still exists within the multi-species animal city of Zootopia, and the duo of Hopps and Wilde are still fighting against it. But returning directors Jared Bush and Byron Howard once again combine the high-concept political message about embracing diversity with an onslaught of sight gags, pop culture references, and endearingly silly characters that ensure Zootopia 2 never feels too preachy. The film moves at a breakneck pace, propelled by several big chase scenes and an avalanche of jokes that arrive so quickly that even if one doesn’t land, there’s something else to laugh at a moment later.

He spends centuries searching for the reincarnation of his lost love, whom he believes he finally found in 1889 in France. Christoph Waltz plays a priest trying to end the threat of Dracula and save those he has converted.
From our review:
It’s fun to see a classic monster story that isn’t especially lofty. Besson has no particularly coherent thoughts about the humanity of monsters or the monstrosity of humanity. He just made a stupidly sincere gothic love story with some deliciously silly touches: a reminder that these monsters don’t have to be year-end awards contenders.
Good luck, have fun, don’t die
- Gender: science fiction comedy
- Execution time: 2h 14m
- Director: Gore Verbinski
- Cast: Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Pena
A time traveler (Sam Rockwell) recruits the patrons of a Los Angeles restaurant for a dangerous mission to stop the AI apocalypse in Gore Verbinski’s quirky crossover film. black mirror and terminator. While they wonder if the delusional man they follow might be crazy, the volunteers are still willing to risk their lives to stop the technology from doing more harm.
From our review:
Verbinski leans on several genre tropes to give Good Luck an anthology feel. In one sequence, a mob of high school students chase their teachers around the school like a horde of zombies. Another turns into a heartbreaking romance, while the bleakest flashback tackles America’s school shooting epidemic with a dark sci-fi twist, before somehow delivering the film’s funniest moment. Each of these vignettes builds on what came before, slowly painting a picture of a tech-addicted world where smartphones and algorithms have already sapped us of our humanity even before artificial intelligence poses a physical threat.

- Director: Jan Ole Gerster
- Cast: Sam Riley, Stacy Martin, Jack Farthing
Tom (Sam Riley) spends his days teaching tennis at a resort in the Canary Islands and his nights partying and drinking.

This is not a test
- Gender: zombie horror
- Execution time: 1h 43m
- Director: Adam McDonald
- Cast: Olivia Holt, Froy Gutierrez, Carson MacCormac
When the zombie apocalypse breaks out, a group of classmates take refuge at their institute. Sloane (Olivia Holt), a suicidal and abused student, suddenly finds herself fighting for survival when an intruder drives her group from their sanctuary and forces them to face the horror outside.
From our review:
Unlike the zombies that now inhabit her city, Sloane shuffles through the film without any urgency or intensity. He doesn’t get clear character growth. Neither does anyone else in the film: his classmates are all generic guys who barely stand out as individuals. And as much as I’d like to be able to say that the movie leans toward awesome zombie action or effects, even those aspects of the movie are completely underfounded.
