The 2016 Movie of the Year


From IGN's Rogue One Review: Rogue One is a movie crammed with fan service, but when fan service is done this well, there’s little to complain about and much to adore. The film offers a remarkable recreation of the original Star Wars’ world, while exploring this universe from a different, edgier perspective than is the norm. It also expertly delivers thrills, tension and genuine stakes, despite the audience's prior knowledge that the movie’s central mission will be a successful one. Gareth Edwards has shown, with the first “Star Wars Story,” that these spin-offs can have plenty of life in them, adding even more excitement to Star Wars’ huge modern resurgence.

From IGN's Review: Arrival is a language lesson masquerading as a blockbuster, though much more entertaining than that sounds. The film features shades of Interstellar, Contact and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but never feels derivative. Rather it’s smart, sophisticated sci-fi that that asks BIG questions, and does a pretty good job of answering them.

From IGN's Review: Hell or High Water surprises with its complex narrative, stuns with its cinematography, and more than made up for summer 2016's many theatrical shortcomings. Its cops and robbers characters turn this small town, quiet heist movie into an exhilarating adventure.

EditLa La Land

From IGN's Review: La La Land is an ambitious premise that breaths new life into the classic Hollywood musical while also serving as a love letter to the people who chase their dreams in Los Angeles. It's a joyous film that wisely doesn't veer too far into treacly sentimentality.

From IGN's Review: Featuring a once-in-a-lifetime performance from Casey Affleck, Kenneth Lonergan's drama Manchester by the Sea is a remarkable character study about grief and redemption that will stay with you long after you've see it.

From IGN's Review: Moana is another great addition to the Disney animated pantheon, starting with its inspiring lead character. The film delivers the strong humor, well-executed action, memorable music and lovable characters Disney has perfected in a delightful and lovely manner.

From IGN's Review: Moonlight isn’t just one of the best films of 2016, but it’s also one of the most important, shining a much-needed light on a culture that has too long been forced to reside merely on the fringes of the silver screen, only occasionally being allowed to poke its head in.

From IGN's Review: Among some of the finest work that Shane Black and Joel Silver have ever churned out together, The Nice Guys is a Lethal Weapon for a new generation. Crowe and Gosling nail it and make this one of the year’s most enjoyable movies.

From IGN's Review: Steeped in magic and whimsy, this remake of Pete's Dragon rebuilds the beloved kid's movie in all the right ways. Featuring a great cast, a believable dragon and beautiful cinematography, Pete's Dragon is an exciting, optimistic adventure that both children and adults will enjoy.

We want to hear it.

From IGN's Review: Robert Eggers (who won a directing award at Sundance last year for this film) makes his mark with The Witch, a remarkable tale of fear and horror that also serves as a very disturbing coming of age story. Anya Taylor-Joy also mesmerizes as the girl torn between her crumbling family and survival.

From IGN's Review: Zootopia is a wonderful example of how Disney, at its best, can mix its past and present together in a very cool, compelling way. It takes the classic animation trope of animals walking, talking and acting like humans, but gives it a modern spin both in terms of its humor and animation style -- while deftly showing how computer generated animation is able to look more fluid and lifelike than ever -- and also in its themes, which are meaningful and fascinatingly topical. It’s one of those movies that truly is able to entertain audiences of all ages, in different ways, and another big accomplishment in the Disney oeuvre.
