In IMAX, Tron: Ares doesn’t just unfold, it engulfs you. From the first neon pulse to the last flicker of light, I felt like I wasn’t just watching a film but being uploaded into it. The franchise that once imagined the world inside a computer now feels eerily close to our own, a mirror made of code and conscience.

A brilliant director is only as good as the cast of players he works with. This has always been true with the works of Bong Joon Ho. From The Host to Parasite, Bong has the incredible ability to bring out the best performances imaginable from stellar ensembles. His latest film, the stunning sci-fi satire, Mickey 17, once more features a cadre of the best actors working today, and it is our honor to say we were able to chat with three of the film’s biggest stars: Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, and Toni Collette.

Why does cinema need satire? Because sometimes we need to be reminded that society is broken. It allows us to question the way things are, how they got there, and gives us hope that somewhere along the way, reels of celluloid will allow us to see ourselves, and help us learn to fix our flaws down the line. This is something that director Bong Joon Ho does masterfully. We’ve seen this in Snowpiercer, Okja, Best Picture winner Parasite, and now, Mickey 17.

Any director would find it challenging to follow up on the highly underrated Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy, especially when said trilogy was perfect from start to finish. Each successive film from the legacy started by Rupert Wyatt and completed by Matt Reeves, with Andy Serkis’ motion capture performance as Caesar, was better than the last. So rather than just pick up where the trilogy left off, Wes Ball’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes marks the beginning of a new era that takes the conflict to new places while deepening the mythology created by its predecessors.

The first Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy followed the rise, dawn, and war of ape-kind against their human oppressors.
