Pratt and Howard were terrific choices for the original reboot and they once again prove why they deserve to be in this blockbuster.

Ocean's 8
While the mostly female cast might make it seem like a girls night out movie, this is a film both men and women alike can enjoy.
Adrift
Compelling and life-affirming, Adrift is a real-life survival story...Emotional and draining it will make you wonder what you have been doing with your life.
Solo: A Star Wars Story
As a standalone film, Solo: A Star Wars Story has a good plot, interesting characters, and well-done action scenes. As part of the classic franchise, it comes across a little disjointed and disconnected.
Measure of a Man
While occasionally difficult to watch the movie overall entertaining and reminds the audience to never settle and always be their best selves.
RBG
If you know little about this short in stature judicial powerhouse I suggest you spend the almost hour and forty minutes of the documentary learning who she is personally and professionally.
Rampage
Rampage is a true popcorn, action movie that offers the audience some great scenes and some emotional moments.
Blockers
Some good performances, a decent script, and a mildly different plot makes Blockers a film worth seeing.
Ready Player One
Even though it runs over two hours long, You become so engrossed in the story and the visuals that you don’t notice the length – which says a lot about Ready Player One.
Pacific Rim: Uprising
While not as good as the original, Pacific Rim: Uprising offers a couple of laughs, some fairly strong action sequences and a seemingly plausible story continued from the original.
