Key Points:
- Toy Story 5, the latest installment in the 31-year-old Disney-Pixar franchise, is now playing in theaters and explores the impact of technology on children's play, receiving mostly positive reviews for its emotional depth and renewed purpose.
- Pressure, a WWII D-Day movie focusing on the tension around a critical weather forecast, is now available to rent or buy but has received mixed reviews due to its slow pace and limited dramatic tension.
- Project Hail Mary, a Ryan Gosling-led sci-fi film about a lone astronaut on a mission to save Earth, is streaming on MGM+ and praised for Gosling’s performance despite its derivative plot and prolonged finale.
- Voicemails for Isabelle, a romantic-comedy tearjerker about a woman’s voicemails to her deceased sister mistakenly reaching a stranger, is streaming on Netflix and lauded for its charm, performances, and fresh take on rom-com tropes.
- Additional releases include How to Make a Killing on HBO Max, a remake of a black comedy with mixed reception, and Never Change on Hulu, a silly comedy about classmates returning to finish high school after a tornado.
