REEL IMPRESSIONS - May 2026

Welcome to the next volume of 'Reel Impressions', for those curious what my opinions are on recent movies or television series that I have laid my eyes on and if they are worthy of your time.  Below is my first collection of contenders this month as we explore what is offered lately, so see where my impressions land on the latest releases:

GREENLAND 2: MIGRATION (available on Prime)
- When Greenland arrived roughly fives years ago, the small-scale disaster film starring Gerard Butler (300) and Morena Baccarin (Deadpool) proved to be a worthy and thrilling gem about an estranged couple trying to come together to protect the life of their young son in the face of world disaster.  The first film ended with the family getting to an underground shelter located in Greenland in time before the massive, world-killing meteor struck the planet.

The new sequel picks up with the family being forced to emerge from the bunker a few years later and cross the globe to re-locate to the massive crater left behind by the meteor as it has been discovered it retains the environment necessary in order for humanity to thrive and survive.  Although it has its moments, the sequel ultimately proves not to be as strongly-written or as tense as its predecessor although there are moments that make the watch worthwhile and to see where the characters ultimately end up.

THE REEL VISION RATING: 📽📽📽 out of 5

IT: WELCOME TO DERRY - Season 1 (available on 4K UHD) - For those who missed out on Pennywise the Clown's triumphant return to terrorize on HBO's horror series that expands on Stephen King's original novel and the previous films, they need to pick up this glorious 4K physical media release that contains all the episodes with a crisp digital transfer and bonus content that will satiate devout fans.

Season 1 rewinds the 27-year cycle clock on Pennywise's history in the cursed town of Derry as it explores events that take place in 1962 with a different group of kids encountering the shapeshifter and the U.S. military making the attempt to capture the creature for their own means.  Needless to say and knowing where the story goes in the future, things to not go well for the characters in this particular tale.  Although the season experiences some logic bumps in the storytelling, it still contains enough horror bite and lore depth exploration to make this a nice companion piece to the feature films.

The Reel Vision Recommends 'Lee Cronin's The Mummy' in Cinemas

The Reel Vision Recommends 'Lee Cronin's The Mummy' in Cinemas
Director Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise) brings a very different interpretation of The Mummy mythos to the big screen in this gore-fest horror outing surrounding the disappearance of a young girl in Egypt who returns 8 years later to her family, but does not come back the same as she once was. This is a far different take than the Brendan Fraser-led adventure films and even has the director's name in the film title in an effort to do so. This one is certainly not for the squeamish, and is a horror story that hits straight to the jugular.

The Reel Vision Recommends 'Daredevil: Born Again' on Disney+

The Man Without Fear is back as Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) suits up for battle with old friends (Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones) against old enemies Bullseye and Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio) as the streets of NYC explode into a gang war. Season 2 promises to be an improvement over its predecessor with a consistent focus and getting back to the show's Netflix roots.

The Reel Vision Recommends 'Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters' on Apple TV+

The Reel Vision Recommends 'Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters' on Apple TV+
The father-son duo playing the same characters in different time periods; Kurt (The Thing) and Wyatt Russell (Thunderbolts) return to the second season of the show rooted in the Legacy monster-verse that features the current cinematic incarnations of Godzilla and Kong Kong. As our characters navigate their way on the infamous Skull Island, a new sea-bound Titan emerges from the depths that garners the attention of both our iconic cinematic brawlers to deal with.
