Pixar's latest is Elemental but it might be too elementary for its own good. The Flash comes with a bevy of issues but could be a good time. Chris Hemsworth returns to Netflix with the forgettable Extraction 2.

We had a less than optimal time at Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Plus perhaps there's a reason The Crowded Room has been unadaptable until now.
