Alien: Covenant
Dials Back Philosophy in Favor of Scares
One of the stronger entries in the Alien franchise, Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant spends an hour building characters and suspense before unleashing its jump-scares and against-all-odds battle between humans and aliens. But the philosophical groundwork laid by earlier franchise entry Prometheus isn't much developed in Covenant. 3.5 out of 5.

Everything, Everything
May Not Have it All, but It's Got Sweetness
A sweet bit of romantic fluff. It's The Boy in the Bubble meets The Fault in Our Stars, but our young sweethearts are adorable in a wholesome kind of way and their story is charming—as long as you don't think about it too hard. 3.5 out of 5.

King Arthur: Legend of the...
Stolen Parts from Better Stories?
Copiously borrowing elements from Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, this latest spin on the King Arthur legend is a fairly impressive spectacle that somehow still fails to fascinate. 2 out of 5.

Snatched
Not an Ideal Mother's Day Flick
Notwithstanding the comedic talents of Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn, Wanda Sykes and Joan Cusack, Snatched is nothing to write home about. Between genuine moments of tenderness and humor sits a sketchy plot full of cheap gags, meriting 2 out of 5.

Guardians Vol. 2
a Satisfying Mix(tape) of Everything Good
Prepare to be entertained: Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and his motley crew are back to save the galaxy (again) in this lighthearted romp through space and time. The plot is simplistic at best, but when the emotional pay-off comes I bet you'll tear up all the same. This is a fun night out for almost anyone. 4 out of 5.

Unevenly Cooked
Dinner
Suffers from Poor Presentation
Structurally choppy and overall rather unpleasant, The Dinner takes a potent problem—how far will parents go to protect their children?—and presents it in a sometimes confusing, sometimes simply tedious way. 2 out of 5.

The Circle
Doesn't Quite Complete Itself
The Circle is an engrossing premise, but fails to deliver in the small moments. This technological dystopia earns 2 out of 5.

Born in China
is Natural Tourism at Its Finest & Least Expensive
Beautifully filmed documentary Born in China takes you halfway around the world without leaving your seat, bringing you up close and personal with pandas, snow leopards, golden snub-nosed monkeys, chirus, and more. Disneynature has achieved a film that the whole family can enjoy without fear or hesitation. 3.5 out of 5.

Hero Needs More Inspiration or Madness in
The Lost City of Z
The Lost City of Z (that's "Zed" for you Americans!) was well-acted, without great flaw in its technical elements or even direction. But for failing to justify the necessity of its own existence, it only earns 2 out of 5.

The Promise
Stops Short as a History Lesson
A consciousness-raiser about the extermination of Armenians at the outset of World War I, The Promise is a noble effort that has some moving moments but doesn’t come together in a way that generates an emotional response equal to the atrocities it depicts. 2.5 out of 5.

The Fate of the Furious
Has the Franchise Sputtering into the Future
The eighth film in the Fast and the Furious franchise keeps the series on cruise control, for better or worse. This latest entry should satisfy core fans, while those not already sold on the series may find the one-upping of big stunts and car chases overblown. 2 out of 5.

Going in Style
Offers Dubious Lessons but Plenty of Heart
Tiny nuggets of wisdom abound in this low-stakes heist flick about three broke geezers who attempt to rob their local bank as a final huzzah before their houses get foreclosed and their health deteriorates too far. A fun but simple genre flick, Going in Style gets 3 out of 5.

Sweet Ending Saves
Smurfs: The Lost Village
Its pleasures are mild, but the latest Smurfs movie—the third film in the franchise—aims to entertain younger viewers without torturing older kids and adults who might get dragged along to the theater. On that score, it mostly succeeds. The story is formulaic but surprising in providing a sweetly moving finale. 3 out of 5.

We've Been
Gifted
with an Uplifting, Intelligent Family Drama
Heartwarming, sassy, and funny, Gifted has it all: Family drama, a cute kid, tough life questions, even a one-eyed cat. It's a story about intelligent people who don't always make smart choices. Bonus: you're likely to leave the theater smarter than you came. How many movies do that? 4.5 out of 5.

The Case for Christ
Makes a Strong Argument for Mass Appeal
The latest entry from Pure Flix Entertainment, The Case for Christ breaks the mold of Christian films, delivering a rich and compelling narrative along with the steadfast message of Christ's love. 3.5 out of 5.

Baldwin Rescues
The Boss Baby
from Obscurity
If not for a committed performance from Alec Baldwin, The Boss Baby would probably be languishing in a $1 DVD bin at Walmart. The film isn't completely devoid of laughs, but they run out long before the credits roll. 2 out of 5.

With Life and Death at Stake, Why Does
The Zookeeper's Wife
Feel So Languid?
The Zookeeper's Wife extols the actions of a husband-and-wife zookeeping team who use their zoo as a way station for Jews during World War II. But as admirable as these characters are, the film assumes familiarity with the stakes of the drama rather than generating pathos convincingly through the narrative. 2.5 out of 5.

Ghost in the Shell
Feels Hollow Inside
In a futuristic world where humans can be "enhanced" and nothing is quite what it seems, Major (Scarlett Johansson) is a "miracle"—a human brain in a machine body. Maybe her lack of an actual heart explains why this visually stunning movie fails to connect on an emotional level. 2 out of 5.

Saban's Power Rangers
Delivers a Mighty Good Time
Despite the absurd source material, Power Rangers manages to create a story that’s fun, thrilling, and at times, even poignant. Whether you’re an old fan or simply looking for an enjoyable pastime, this movie won’t disappoint. 3.5 out of 5.

Deaths the Most Memorable Parts of
Life
The monster movie tropes might feel familiar at times, but Life flirts with audience "alien"-ation in ways that are surprising, even shocking, making for a more memorable film experience than we expect during the early part of its story. 3.5 out of 5.
