Captain Fantastic

The film’s initially beguiling charm curdles into a dispiritingly familiar mix of sentimentality and self-satisfaction, succumbing to the very complacency its characters claim to abhor. (J.C., July 8) (1:58) R.

Central Intelligence

It’s a ’90s nostalgia trip, a rambunctious spy thriller and a knucklehead bromance rolled into one, and as disjointed as that sounds, the movie is dumb in all the right ways, and also a bit smarter than you might expect. (J.C., June 17) (1:54) PG-13.

The Conjuring 2

James Wan’s followup to his superb 2013 haunted-house thriller is another virtuosic exercise in mobile camerawork and moldering production design, with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprising their roles as paranormal investigators. (J.C., June 10) (2:13) R.

Ghostbusters

Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon have chemistry to burn in a cheerful summer lark that in many ways improves on the 1984 original, but peters out well before its overblown Times Square climax. (Justin Chang, July 15) Imax 3D. (1:56) PG-13.

Independence Day: Resurgence

The aliens are back, bigger and badder than ever in a film that doesn’t hesitate to go where many films have gone before. A genial diversion for the undemanding. (K.Tu., June 24) Imax 3D. (2:00) PG-13.

The Infiltrator

Bryan Cranston gives the most subtly layered film performance of his career in Brad Furman's smart, engrossing fictionalized portrait of Robert Mazur, the U.S. undercover agent who in 1986 helped put a dent in Pablo Escobar's criminal empire. (Justin Chang, July 13) (2:07) R.

(1:45) NR.

Me Before You

The Purge: Election Year

Even more than in the series’ first two films, the writer-director James DeMonaco wields his satirical ideas and topical reference points with a recklessness that similarly informs his murkily shot scenes of knife-to-knife combat and sniper fire. (J.C., July 1) (1:45) R.

The Secret Life of Pets

A glorified hairball pulled together from the strands of better, more appealing movies and then noisily coughed up and disgorged at a multiplex near you. (J.C., July 8) (1:30) PG.

The Shallows

A welcome mid-summer reminder that all you need to make a movie is a girl and a flare gun, this is an efficiently pared-down Bmovie showcase for Blake Lively, more than holding her own opposite a computer-generated great white shark. (J.C., June 24) (1:26) PG-13.

A befuddling and loud jumble of computer graphics and familiar character names crammed into a story that’s overly busy but also too simple. (Katie Walsh, June 3) (1:52) PG-13.

Tickled

This queasily engrossing documentary starts out as an eyebrowraising look at a bizarre erotic subculture, then quickly escalates into a harrowing exposé of identity theft, online intimidation and American privilege gone dangerously awry.

Warcraft

Adapted from the novels and games in Blizzard Entertainment’s franchise, Duncan Jones’ maximalist humans-vs.-Orcs fantasy is lumpy and derivative, but it also pulses with a believer’s conviction. (J.C., June 10) Imax 3D. (2:03) PG-13.

Wiener-Dog

An innocent dachshund bears witness to an appalling spectrum of human idiocy, misery and self-absorption in Todd Solondz’s uneven but beguiling four-part canine odyssey, which plays like a jaundiced riff on Bresson’s “Au Hasard Balthazar.” (Justin Chang) (1:30) R.
