    Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
    Mark this one down as a sequel that should never have been made.

    Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    In his third outing as the Captain, Evans seems totally comfortable in the role. He manages to convey his character’s goodness without making him seem like a self-righteous stiff. There’s an ease in his performance, and a sense of humor that makes him very appealing.

    Captain America: Civil War
    Who emerges as the winner of this “Civil War”? The audience. The picture delivers in a big, big way.

    A Beautiful Planet
    There is fragility in the beauty we see. The picture drives home the need to safeguard it. It is, after all, our home.

    Ratchet & Clank
    Screeching, screaming, bouncing around the galaxy. Insufferable. And seemingly interminable.

    A Space Program
    Sachs’ A Space Program is a disarmingly delightful out-of-this-world trip.

    Criminal
    Criminal has a strong supporting cast, but the big names aren’t doing much beyond the bare minimum to qualify for a payday.

    Time Renegades
    The picture’s time shifts are smoothly handled by Kwak. But eventually confusion sets in.

    Green Room
    Green Room is one nasty piece of work. And I mean that in a good way.

    The Phoenix Incident
    The Phoenix Incident is an indigestible mess.

    One More Time
    Thanks to Walken’s superlative, multileveled performance and Edwards’ trenchant writing, this complicated guy...is a weirdly beguiling figure.

    Demolition
    By the end, it’s falling apart under the weight of all the extraneous divergings, but thanks to Gyllenhaal’s performance, Demolition stands out as a powerful meditation on the unhinging effects of deep grief.

    Everybody Wants Some!!
    Linklater gets it right in every significant regard.

    Kill Your Friends
    A more disagreeable collection of cynical, backstabbing, self-aggrandizing, shallow, vicious and vile specimens of humanity gathered together in a single motion picture would be difficult to conceive of.

    Midnight Special
    The picture is a long tease, artfully constructed. Mood is all-important, and it’s a mood designed to keep the audience off balance and on edge until the very end.

    Aferim!
    Shot in stark black and white, the picture’s sense of place and time is strong — pungently so.

    They're Watching
    Greetings from Moldova. Where surly locals stare sullenly at stupid strangers. Where the traditional regional greeting extended to said strangers is a hatchet in the forehead.

    Get a Job
    In the matter of searching for work in a difficult economy, Get a Job traffics in fairy tales that come complete with happily-ever-after endings.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    Many decisions...make “Batman v Superman” a joyless slog.

    Creative Control
    Creative Control is a hypnotic voyage into a society where technology addiction comes to rule and ruin those who fall under its seductive spell.

    The Confirmation
    A surprisingly sweet-spirited picture about a man’s redemption and a boy’s initiation into the ways of the world.

    The Divergent Series: Allegiant
    All of it feels warmed over, reprocessed … and, yes, confused.

    Embrace of the Serpent
    Throughout, the fragility of the native cultures and of the rain-forest environment that is their home is underscored by Guerra in this fascinating, melancholy movie.

    10 Cloverfield Lane
    Board games, threats from Howard and desperate escape planning by Michelle take up most the picture. And then, first-time feature director Dan Trachtenberg and the screenwriters, apparently realizing that not much has been going on so far, ramp up to a full-bore CG explosion extravaganza finale...Too little. Too late.

    Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
    Strange movie. And despite the presence of Tina Fey playing its lead character, a cable-TV reporter named Kim Baker, it’s not a funny one.

    Zootopia
    Zootopia delights, in ways big and small.

    London Has Fallen
    The action is pumped up. The destruction is extreme. The whole thing is absurd.

    The Last Man on the Moon
    Using a rich trove of archival footage and interviews with Cernan, members of his family, other former astronauts and key Apollo mission figures, director Mark Craig charts the flight path of Cernan’s life.

    Gods of Egypt
    Imagine the worst costume epic imaginable. Imagine no more. It exists.

    Mad Max: Fury Road
    “Fury’s” pace is delirious, the stunts are incredible — such crashes, such explosions, such a lot of flying bodies — Hardy’s performance is a marvel of subdued conviction and Theron brings an impressive gravity to her work as Furiosa. Put it all together, and you’ve got a rousing crowd-pleaser that hits on all fast-revving cylinders.
