This week at the Harbor Theater
"F1 – The Movie" - (PG-13; 2 hours 36 minutes) - From Apple Original Films and the visionary team behind Top Gun: Maverick comes F1: The Movie—a pulse-pounding, high-octane thrill ride starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski. Sonny Hayes (Pitt) was once Formula 1's most electrifying rising star—until a devastating crash ended his meteoric rise. Three decades later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire, called back to the sport by former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), whose struggling team is teetering on the edge of collapse. With nothing left to lose, Sonny climbs back into the cockpit for one final shot at greatness—alongside rookie phenom Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), whose ambition burns just as hot. But in the cutthroat world of Formula 1, teammates are rivals, speed is survival, and redemption doesn’t come easy. Shot during real Grand Prix weekends, F1: The Movie delivers breathtaking realism, raw intensity, and visceral trackside action—capturing the drama, danger, and legacy of the fastest sport on Earth. Buckle up. Final showsL Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Aug. 7, 7 p.m.
"Superman" - (PG13; 2 hours, 10 minutes) - The Man of Steel returns in "Superman" (2025), the highly anticipated relaunch of DC’s most iconic hero, directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Set in a fresh and emotionally grounded DC Universe, "Superman" follows a young Clark Kent as he navigates his dual identity—balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville. Now a reporter in Metropolis, Clark struggles to reconcile his sense of duty with the world’s growing cynicism, all while falling for the sharp, fearless journalist Lois Lane. When a mysterious global threat emerges, challenging Superman’s ideals and forcing him to confront the very core of who he is, he must decide what kind of hero he wants to be. With legacy, hope, and truth on the line, "Superman" redefines the origin story for a new generation—epic, heartfelt, and soaring with optimism. Blending heart-pounding action with character-driven storytelling, "Superman" introduces a bold new chapter in the DCU under Gunn’s creative direction, promising a return to the emotional weight and hopeful spirit that defines the world’s greatest superhero Plays at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8; Saturday, Aug. 9; Monday, Aug. 11, 7 p.m Tuesday, Aug., 12 and Thursday, Aug. 14; and Sunday, Aug. 10, 2 p.m.; and Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 2 p.m. (OCAP).
"This is the funniest superhero movie I have seen and the good news is the humour is deliberate. It’s also action-packed, visually spectacular, has decent twists and is full of knockout performances." – Stephen Romei, The Austrailian
