HARBOR THEATER

Now open 7 days!

“Aladdin” -  Held Over by Popular Demand! -  A thrilling and vibrant live-action adaptation of Disney’s animated classic, “Aladdin” is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future. The most surprising part ... isn’t that it’s far better (more fun, more frisky, more coherent) than a string of maligned trailers have let on, it’s that no one ever got the bright idea to rename the whole thing “Genie” and turn all of the film’s attention on Will Smith.

“Aladdin” (Rated PG, 2 hours, 8 minutes) plays at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 29, Thursday, May 30, Friday, May 31, Saturday, June 1; Monday June 3 through Thursday, June 6; and Sunday, June 2, 2  and 7 p.m.

“Smith doesn’t appear until well into the film’s running time, but the propulsive nature of the film before he arrives on the scene keep things pumping right along until he arrives to blow the whole thing up with humor, charm, and gobsmacking sequences ..." - Kate Erbland for INDIEWIRE

Known to others only by her alias "The Woman of the Mountain,” Halla secretly wages a one-woman-war on the local aluminum industry. As Halla’s actions grow bolder, from petty vandalism to outright industrial sabotage, she succeeds in pausing the negotiations between the Icelandic government and the corporation building a new aluminum smelter. (NR; 1 hour, 41 minutes)  In Icelandic with English subtitles, the film plays at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 31, Saturday, June 1; and at 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday, June 2, Wednesday, June 5 and Thursday June 6.

The stakes have never been higher, and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort.
