KATY SAYS: Watching numbers go down on a screen has never been more dread inducing. A spectacular movie about that never fails to disappoint. Bonus: Mech suit Sigourney Weaver. Addendum: For the love of god don’t watch any of the sequels.

ERIC SAYS:
A standalone sequel that builds off of the first film without relying on it to tell its story. Endlessly quotable, masterfully paced, and fun as hell, it’s one of the greatest movies about finding a family ever made.
Bonus: Paul Reiser
