“A Wrinkle in Time”: A Stunning but Less Complex Vision of Love Perhaps too much of the message of hope and strength from the book has been lessened
“Annihilation” Entertains but Misses on Some Elements A visually stunning work that doesn't execute to full promise
“Maze Runner: The Death Cure” Concludes in a Predictable but Satisfying Way The predictable story doesn't detract from some characters' emotional journeys
“Hostiles”: A Rich, Emotional Character Study Beautifully shot and acted, the slow pace is worth the time
“Blade Runner 2049” Enhances the Classic Vision of the Original The sequel enthralls as it builds on themes, expands the world
“LEGO Ninjago Movie” is a Fun, Emotional Tale Expanding the LEGO Movie Universe One Fun Brick at a Time
“Kingsman: The Golden Circle” Entertains, but Falls Short The sequel is as fun and over the top as the first, but misses total engagement
