Booksmart

Two academic teenage superstars realize, on the eve of their high school graduation, that they should have worked less and played more. Determined to never fall short of their peers, the girls set out on a mission to cram four years of fun into one night.

Set to be released on Friday, May 24, "Booksmart" already has a Tomatometer Score of 99 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Tribune News Service's Katie Walsh said, "Olivia Wilde comes out swinging with not only one of the best movies of the year, but one of the best high school movies of all time," while Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly noted, "If the storyline doesn't so much unfold as burst out in glittery puffs — and if music cues seem to make up about 40 percent of the plot — it's still an endearing kind of chaos."

Catch it on the big screen at Aksarben Cinema (2110 S. 67th St.), Regal Omaha (7440 Crown Point Ave.), Marcus Majestic Cinema of Omaha (14304 W. Maple Road), and AMC Classic Westroads 14 (10000 California St.) through Wednesday, May 29. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Alien

During its return to the earth, commercial spaceship Nostromo intercepts a distress signal from a distant planet. When a three-member team of the crew discovers a chamber containing thousands of eggs on the planet, a creature inside one of the eggs attacks an explorer. The entire crew is unaware of the impending nightmare set to descend upon them when the alien parasite planted inside its unfortunate host is birthed.

With a Tomatometer Score of 97 percent and an Audience Score of 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this '70s throwback is a critical darling.

"This is a screamingly spooky sci-fi tale with more than a few echoes of 'The Thing,' but echoes which enhance rather than detract," noted Ernest Leogrande of the New York Daily News, while the Globe and Mail's Stephen Cole said, "Seen again a quarter-century later, we marvel at how the filmmaker generates so much tension and sweat with a bare minimum of moving parts."

It's playing at Alamo Drafthouse Midtown (3201 Farnam St.) through Sunday, May 26. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Avengers: Endgame

After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War, the universe is in ruins due to the efforts of the Mad Titan, Thanos. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers must assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store.

With a Tomatometer Score of 94 percent and an Audience Score of 88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Avengers: Endgame" has become a favorite since its release on April 26. The Observer's Oliver Jones said, "What you will be getting when you walk into an inevitably overstuffed movie theater is something singular that reflects our age in a way that none of the MCU films that preceded it have-indeed, very few Hollywood spectacles ever have," and the San Diego Reader's Matthew Lickona noted, "The MCU will go on and on, but this chapter - and the American pragmatism vs. American ideals bromance that drove it - have well and truly come to their "Excelsior! Nuff said!" moment."

It's screening at Aksarben Cinema (2110 S. 67th St.), Regal Omaha (7440 Crown Point Ave.), Alamo Drafthouse Midtown (3201 Farnam St.), and Marcus Majestic Cinema of Omaha (14304 W. Maple Road) through Wednesday, May 29. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Godzilla

Japan is thrown into a panic after several ships explode and are sunk near Odo Island. An expedition to the island led by paleontologist Professor Kyohei Yemani soon discovers something more devastating than imagined in the form of a 164-foot-tall monster whom the natives call Gojira. Now the monster begins a rampage that threatens to destroy not only Japan, but the rest of the world as well.

With a Tomatometer Score of 93 percent and an Audience Score of 89 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this 1954 release has garnered plenty of praise. Slant Magazine's Budd Wilkins said, "Rarely has the open wound of widespread devastation been transposed to celluloid with greater visceral impact," while Andrew O'Hehir of Salon.com stated, "While the acting is hit-and-miss and the story jumps around somewhat confusingly, Honda's film is a one-of-a-kind experience all the way through, one that stands the test of time better than I had expected."
