It is the start of the school holidays this weekend, and Nu Metro in Pretoria has Disney-Pixar’s brand new animated adventure, Incredibles 2, on the Big Screen for everyone to enjoy – prime holiday movie entertainment for the whole family. It opens along with the critically acclaimed “scariest movie of the year”.
INCREDIBLES 2 (PG LV)
Showing at all Nu Metro cinemas
Helen is in the spotlight, leaving Bob at home with Violet and Dash to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone must find a way to work together again—which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible! Incredibles 2 is the sequel to the chart-topping blockbuster and is the new 3D animated adventure from Disney-Pixar – the studio that brought you animated gems such as Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Cars, Monsters Inc and the recent Oscar-winning Coco.
HEREDITARY (16 DHNLV)
Showing at Nu Metro Menlyn Park only
When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter’s family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell. The film’s lead, Toni Collette, has been singled out for her “performance of a lifetime” – with strong talk of guaranteed accolades, such as the Oscars and Golden Globes. Hereditary is a tour-de-force of cinema, delivering horror like no other. This one is for those who prefer their movies on the darker end of the scale.
