What To Watch This Weekend — May 24-26

This week in theaters, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and Garfield are here to dominate theaters. The Fury Road prequel is an adventure you don’t want to miss, while Garfield is a family film with some solid performances.

On the streaming side, there are several great titles to choose from. Gaga Chromatica Ball is a concert film featuring Lady Gaga‘s greatest hits, while My Adventures With Superman Season 2 premieres introducing Superman to archenemy Lex Luthor. Here is everything you should be watching this weekend.

‘Furiosa’

Where to Watch: In Theaters

Snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers, young Furiosa (Anya-Taylor Joy) falls into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth). Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel, presided over by the Immortan Joe. As the two tyrants fight for dominance, Furiosa soon finds herself in a nonstop battle to make her way home.

The Mad Max prequel film is ten years in the making, and that can either help or hurt your viewing experience. Therese Lacson explains in her review: it’s clear that with Furiosa, [George] Miller is trying to tell a different story than the one you might expect. And depending on your expectations, Furiosa could either be an epic origin story for this beloved character, or it can be caught in the shadow of its more stylistic predecessor.

‘Garfield’

Where To Watch: In Theaters

Your favorite orange lasagna-loving feline is back in theaters. Starring Chris Pratt (The Super Mario Bros. Movie), Garfield is an animated movie that comes short of being the cat’s meow.

Matt Donato said in his review: Are there cute moments? A handful. How can you not love an adorable fuzzball kitten finding his family or Odie saving Garfield with a novelty-sized string cheese lasso? Nevertheless, the film otherwise buries what works underneath a “kid’s movie” dusted with grated parmesan.

‘Ferrari’

Where To Watch: On Hulu

Adam Driver stars as Enzo Ferrari in this incredible biopic. The film is set during the summer of 1957 when bankruptcy looms over the company that Enzo Ferrari and his wife had built 10 years earlier. He decides to roll the dice and wager it all on the iconic Mille Miglia, a treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy.

Ferrari started as a passion project for Director Michael Mann (Collateral), as the film has been developing for nearly 30 years. It turns out that the movie was well worth the wait. Driver might be the lead, but make no mistake, Penélope Cruz also shines, delivering one of the best performances of the year best performances. In Collider’s review, Ross Bonaime said: “Cruz’s performance isn’t just the highlight of Mann’s film, it’s also possibly the best performance of her career.”

‘Dune: Part Two’

Where To Watch: On Max

Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi masterpiece Dune: Part Two is finally here. As we return to Arrakis, Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) unites with Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the universe’s fate, he must prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.

Based on the iconic Frank Herbert novel, Dune: Part Two brings this massive universe to life in a way you have to see to believe, to the point where it could be seen as too much. Collider’s Therese Lacson said in her review: For those who indulge in complicated worldbuilding and love to explore new fantasy universes, Part Two goes deeper than ever before and warrants a second viewing to get all the details. But for more casual viewers, all those extra details might just end up falling by the wayside as incomprehensible.

‘My Adventures with Superman’ Season 2

Where To Watch: Watch on Max

My Adventures With Superman is back with its second season. We’re introduced to Lex Luthor and Amanda Waller as new threats. Clark, Lois, and Jimmy have their issues to deal with as Supergirl enters the fray, proving that there’s at least one other Kryptonian in the galaxy.

Mike Thomas praised the show’s spin on the Superman mythos, saying: Storytelling for god-like beings can be challenging, but by keeping the drama character-driven allows us to be invested without needing to introduce a world-destroying threat every single episode. Superman stories are at their best when they focus on Clark, the man, not Superman, the hero.
