"Finding Dory" Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) is a wide-eyed, blue tang fish who suffers from memory loss every 10 seconds or so. The one thing she can remember is that she somehow became separated from her parents as a child. With help from her friends Nemo and Marlin, Dory embarks on an epic adventure to find them. Her journey brings her to the Marine Life Institute, a conservatory that houses diverse ocean species. Dory now knows that her family reunion will only happen if she can save mom and dad from captivity.

Featuring the voice talents of Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Hayden Rolence, Ed O'Neill, Kaitlin Olson, Ty Burrell, Diane Keaton, Sigourney Weaver, Willem Dafoe, Allison Janney & Eugene Levy,

“Finding Dory” is playing nightly at 7 p.m. through Thursday, July 21 (last screening).

                                                                                       “Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations,

to boldly go where no man has gone before.”

Thus began the weekly introduction (narrated by William Shatner) to Gene Roddenberry's original “Star Trek” TV series beginning in 1966 (50^th anniversary later this year). Although the show received low ratings in it's original run, it became a cult hit after it was cancelled in 1969. It inspired spin-off television and movie franchises. 

“Star Trek Beyond” is the 13th movie in this popular series. On this mission, the crew of the USS Enterprise, halfway into their five-year mission, become marooned on a distant planet after the destruction of the Enterprise after being attacked by a seemingly unstoppable wave of unknown aliens. With no apparent means of rescue, the crew find themselves in conflict with a new and ruthless enemy.

Reviewing for The Wrap, Russ Fischer writes “This episode cuts right to the core of the series's original appeal, giving the terrific cast a chance to play against one another in a straightforward story.”

“Star Trek Beyond” stars Chris Pine as Capt. James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Commander Spock, Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, Zoe Saldana as Lieutenant Uhura, Simon Pegg as Montgomery “Scotty” Scott, Anton Yelchin as Chekhov, John Cho as Sulu and Idris Elba as Krall.

A sneak preview of “Star Trek Beyond” will screen Thursday, July 21 at 9 p.m. The film officially opens Friday, July 22 playing through Thursday, July 28 at 7 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.

The Harbor Theatre is located at 185 Townsend Avenue in Boothbay Harbor. For more information, call 207-633-0438 or visit www.harbortheatre.net.
