Karate Kid: Legends

In Cinemas Now

Daniel arrives in Beijing, where Mr. Han has been seeking him out. Han has a new protege, Li Fong. The two mentors must collaborate to instruct Li Fong, but it remains to be seen if their instructional approaches will be compatible.

There’s a lot of safe fun to be had with Karate Kid: Legends. The movie stays true to providing a message of inspiration and staying true in the face of adversity. Chan and Macchio are clearly having fun, Wang makes for a solid lead, and the action on hand manages to feel exciting.

Rated PG, this is a treat for the whole family to enjoy.

Lilo & Stitch

In Cinemas Now

Having been convicted by the United Galactic Federation for illegal genetic experimentation, Dr Jumba (Zach Galifianakis) is initially imprisoned while his highly destructive and intelligent mutation ‘Experiment 626’, later called ‘Stitch’ (Chris Sanders), is exiled. However, 626 escapes, steals a spacecraft and crash lands in the Hawaiian Islands.

Meanwhile, Lilo Pelekai (Maia Kealoha), a lonely and mischievous young girl, struggles to fit in with her peers after her parents' passing. She is being cared for by her older sister Nani (Sydney Agudong), who is under increasing pressure from a social worker to give up her claim on Lilo and allow her to be placed into care. Nani tries to hold what is left of her family together and prove she can care for Lilo but when Lilo adopts a ‘dog’ from the local shelter, things go from bad to worse. Neither is aware that Stitch, the creature masquerading as a dog, is actually Experiment 626 and that a pair of aliens have been sent to Earth to neutralise the threat he presents.

As Stitch attempts to outwit the aliens sent to capture him, he begins to learn about what it means to have a family, even an imperfect one, and he starts to understand that he is capable of far more than he was created for.

Elio

In Cinemas June 19

For centuries, people have called out to the universe looking for answers—in Disney and Pixar's all-new movie "Elio," the universe calls back! The original feature film introduces Elio, an underdog with an active imagination who finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe, and completely unprepared for that kind of pressure, Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, survive a series of formidable trials and somehow discover who he is truly meant to be.
