Opening Thursday:
Terminator Salvation (PG-13) — The director known only as McG (“Charlie’s Angels”) takes over the reins of the lucrative franchise for this post-apocalyptic tale, set in 2018 and depicting the war between man and machine that kick-started the entire saga. Christian Bale (whose expletive-laden rant on the set of the film is already the stuff of legend), Sam Worthington and Helena Bonham Carter are the folks fighting to save mankind.
Opening May 22:
Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian (PG) — Ben Stiller returns as the museum security guard with an unfortunate knack for bringing old fossils and wax-figure displays to life. But can he rouse the grown-ups in the audience out of their stupor? Amy Adams, Robin Williams and Owen Wilson co-star for director Shawn Levy.
Dance Flick (PG-13) — The Wayans Brothers take a cue from the idiots who brought you “Date Movie” and “Disaster Movie” for this catch-all comedy that pokes fun at the “High School Musical” genre.
