Took the tots to How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World. Weakest story of the trilogy, but the best visuals, and still better than 95% of the dreck served up as family films. Has a complicated, emotional end that may be hard for young children to process.

For my money, this is the best animated franchise ever.

This has been my older daughter's (also 9) favorite thing in life for a couple of years now, it's kind of Dragons all the time for us, and we saw this one at an early showing a few weeks ago. We all knew pretty much how it was going to go, but it still managed to play on the old heart-strings. I agree that it's the 3rd best of the movies, but yeah, only because the first two are so good. Even the many seasons of Race to the Edge on Netflix are really pretty good. The big thing this one was missing, though, was the voice talent of TJ Miller, his Tuffnut has always been my favorite character.

Apollo 11. IMAX. Go for the liftoff, stay for the shot of Johnny Carson in a cardboard hat. There’s a camera mounted in the elevator taking the astronauts up to the command module. Just one unbelievable shot among many. My inner geek was at full squee.

Edit: Bonus, Neil Armstrong’s Ahia accent. Out-loud and proud.

Detective Pikachu

It isn't a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a ton of fun if you were ever into Pokemon (guessing that's only a few around here besides me :lol:). Ryan has some great lines as Pikachu, and they're even more hilarious because of that.

Saw it this morning. My kids (10 & 8) loved it. It is a mess of a movie but the Pokemon are funny at times. They dumbed down the humor as to not be too adult. Movie was not made for me, but the kids will probably like it.

Just realized this one is on Netflix, one of my all-time favorite comedies:
"The Man Who Knew Too Little"

Finally saw The Martian. Really well done. I was expecting a grim grind but was met instead with comedy, suspense and pretty good timing.

This is the movie Gravity wishes it could be, yet didn't have to be to earn inexplicably high marks for a dreadful main character (still rooting for the space debris).

Toy Story 4 with the kiddo. Not gonna front, I hated it. As a stand alone movie it was perfectly fine, Pixar rarely makes a bad one. But the mental gymnastics they had to do to get to that story, combined with how they treated the characters and the dumbfuck ending (people cried...really?) really made me wish they would have made another short or some new tiny toons instead.

I was on a 9.5 hour flight. In such situations I generally stick to mindless action or comic book type movies, which I have pretty low standards for. So, Spiderman: Far From Home (good); Alita: Battle Angel (pretty good); Green Lantern: OK and not nearly as bad as I'd heard it was; and Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse: Solid but not worthy of the hype IMO.

Saw Gemini in high frame rate (HFR) 3D. Will Smith and the movie were both pretty good, and the 3D was better than previous versions, although I saw the movie in 60 frames/second and not the full 120 that Ang Lee filmed it in. And it seems like 4K HFR may be the future in 3D, but it's a big change to get the different projection setup for side distribution.

Joker.

Give Phoenix all the awards now. No point in even having a running, best of luck to next year's contestants.

This. I never thought I would like a version of The Joker more so than Heath Ledger's but Phoenix did just that. He was absolutely phenomenal to the point where you were almost on his side for much of the movie. Not to mention, he was in literally every scene/frame of the film. The best part that got me every time was the way he ran.
