Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

Description

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is a fantasy film released in 2022, directed by David Yates. The film is a sequel to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and is the third instalment in the Fantastic Beasts film series and the eleventh in the Wizarding World franchise. The story is set several years after the events of the previous movie and follows Albus Dumbledore as he assigns Newt Scamander and his allies with a mission to take on dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald and his army. The ensemble cast includes Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law, Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Callum Turner, Jessica Williams, Katherine Waterston, and Mads Mikkelsen.

Filming for the movie was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually started in September 2020. Johnny Depp, who portrayed Grindelwald in the previous movies, filmed one scene for the film but was asked to resign in November 2020 following a court case. Mads Mikkelsen replaced him later that month. The film premiered in London in March 2022 and was released in the United Kingdom and the United States in April 2022 in different formats. The film received mixed reviews from critics, but it was generally considered better than its predecessor. It grossed over $407 million worldwide, making it the lowest-grossing film in the Wizarding World franchise.

The plot of the movie involves a battle between Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald. Grindelwald wants to destroy the Muggle world, but Dumbledore denounces the plan. Unable to battle Grindelwald due to a blood pact they formed, Dumbledore enlists Newt, Newt's brother Theseus, and other allies to thwart Grindelwald's plan for world domination. The movie follows the allies as they travel to Berlin, where Yusuf is planted as a spy in Grindelwald's inner circle. The team must thwart Grindelwald's plan and prevent him from becoming the Supreme Leader of the International Confederation of Wizards.

Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs, The Last Airbender) filmed by Columbia Pictures in 2012 this movie hits the screens in 2013. After Earth follows an exciting story written by Gary Whitta about a father and a son survived a starship crash on a distant inhabited planet. Cypher Raige is a recognized hero of many wars, a legendary general who heads his spacecraft to the distant realms, convoying recently captured fierce alien creature. He travels with his son, Kitai Raige, inexperienced 13-years-old boy who gets his initial knowledge about space voyages. Unfortunately, a technical malfunction triggers a chain of events that lead to emergency landing on hostile planet. The only hope for deathly injured father and his son is to find and activate SOS beacon before Cypher Raige dies. Bad news: their radars indicate that the beacon is located on the other side of the planet and ocean of impassable jungles infested with bloodthirsty animals and furious alien that escaped the spaceship during the crash are the only obstacle between 13-years old Kitai and the hope to save their lives. Seriously wounded Cypher can't move, but he tries to help his son to overcome the fear by couching him distantly. The only thing is left at his disposal is to convince Kitai, that in contradistinction to dreadful monsters his fear is not real. That means that Kitai has to forget the fear and concentrate on the real dangers: ravenous creatures and virulent environment of the hostile planet. By the way it's Earth. Yes, it's our home planet that was abandoned by humans almost 1000 years ago due to the catastrophic event that wiped out majority of the species. Since that time new kinds of giant animal took the place of extincted ones and now they dominate the Earth. It's strange and suspicious that we know so much about the movie's story, taking in consideration that After Earth was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, so you have to expect some unpredictable plot twists. Another fact to enjoy is the ensemble cast: there are two leading characters - the father and the son, and they are the real father and son Will and Jaden Smith. Yes, this is the Will Smith (Men in Black franchise, Wild Wild West and I, Legend) and his son Jaden Smith (The Karate Kid, The Day the Earth Stood Still).

Super 8

Sci-Fi & Fantasy
The trailer-teasers for Super 8 inspire millions more questions than they answer, but they do give lots of proof the "old Spielberg magic" is on the comeback trail. Super 8's characters, suspense, and imagery strongly remind veteran dreamworkers of ET and Jurassic Park—strangely scary yet still kid-friendly. For all that they tantalize, though, the Super 8 trailers preserve the film's secrets. The State Department and CIA should study in the J.J. Abrams School of Secret-Keeping; even the WikiLeaks guys would struggle to dig up much more than the trailer's suggestion that a bunch of cute and cool kids have to deal with an "unknown incredible creature." All we really know is that, in the small Ohio town, just about everything that can blow up will blow up. Oh yeah, and we know the kids will film everything on their super-8 movie camera."Super 8 may go into Hollywood history as the movie with sibling rivalry in the sub-text. Elle Fanning, Dakota's younger sister, and Amanda Michalka, Allyson's sister, come out of the big kids' shadows and into their own, proving they have talent and skills. The big kids should feel very afraid. Gabriel Basso, the one child star without famous siblings but who may be a direct descendant of Tom Sawyer, continues the tradition of impish, resourceful Spielberg boy-heroes. Kyle Chandler, uber-dad from "Friday Night Lights," brings that same manly command to Super 8, reassuring everyone that everything will be okay.
