Ex Machina

After a week of emotional toil, scientific jargon and subtle manipulation, the plot takes a twist in the A,I,’s favor.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

The crew is back. All of Earth’s heroes team up; Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye battle to save the planet from Ultron, the destructive, wicked villain.

Poltergeist

This highly anticipated remake of the 1982 movie Poltergeist came out on May 22. Everyone knows the story: a disturbing force haunts a family’s suburban home. The family must overcome their fear of the entity taking over their house to rescue their youngest daughter after the evil spirits take her captive.

Mad Max: Fury Road

The past three Mad Max movies have been hits, and this one is too. Mad Max takes place in an Australian post-apocalyptic setting where commodities like gasoline are scarce and frequently fought over. Max, a desert loner, finds himself caught up in a violent, yet exciting chase with heroine Furiosa and Immortan Joe.

Tomorrowland

Although the ratings on this movie weren’t as high as the hype for it was, it may still be worth seeing. A troubled, yet gifted teen and a scientist go on a journey to discover the secrets of a place that doesn’t technically exist anymore, despite its existence in their memories. The film is filled with endless excitement and discoveries on how to get back to the world they once experienced.
