Avatar: The Way Of The Water (CGI sci-fi)
James Cameron’s 2009 Avatar is the highest-grossing film of all time, so it’s surprising it’s taken 13 years for the sequel(续集). Set more than a decade after the events of the first movie, Avatar: The Way Of The Water returns to see Jake and Neytiri with a family. In the previous film, Jake (Sam Worthington), a former human, befriends the Na’vi after becoming a part of the Avatar Programme. He eventually takes their side in their conflict with the humans and leads them to victory, meanwhile falling in love with Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) and leaving his human body to become one of the Na’vi.
In this new movie, the humans return to cause great damage to the planet of Pandora, and Jake leads the Na’vi army into battle to protect it. The live action scenes were filmed in New Zealand, which were then overlayed with CGI (computer generated imagery) to transform the characters and seascape into an amazing fantasy world.
The Lost King (Drama Comedy)
Based on true events, this is the story of one woman’s search for King Richard Ⅲ’s remains, which had been lost for over 500 years. Amateur historian Philippa Langley (Sally Hawkins), whose persistent research is met with incomprehension by her friends and family, and doubt and confusion by experts and academics. She takes on the country’s most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of England’s most controversial kings.
Bones And All (Romantic Horror)
Based on the 2015 book of the same name, this coming-of-age movie is both tender and haunting. Abandoned by her mother, Maren (Taylor Russell), a young woman on the margins of society, sets off on a journey of self-discovery, when she meets Lee (Timothee Chalamet), a homeless drifter(流浪汉). Together they embark on a road trip through the back country of the US. But a trail of pain and tragedy follows her like a ghost. With Lee’s help, she desperately tries to return to be normal.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Action, Adventure, Fantasy)
Following the events of Spider-Man No Way Home, Doctor Strange unwittingly(不知不觉地)casts a forbidden spell that accidentally opens up the multiverse(平行宇宙). With help from Wong and Scarlet Witch, Strange confronts various versions of himself as well as teaming up with the young America Chavez while traveling through various realities and working to restore reality as he knows it. Along the way, Strange and his allies realize they must take on a powerful new adversary(对手)who seeks to take over the multiverse.
