SUWANEE — The theme for the two movies to be shown when Movies Under the Stars returns to Town Center Park on Saturday, July 18, is "out of this world" – literally. Both movies have a space theme.
The recently released Home, an animated film about an alien on the run from his own people, will be shown at 7 p.m. The PG film features the voices of Jim Parsons, Rihanna, and Steve Martin. On RottenTomatoes.com, Bilge Ebiri with New York Magazine/Vulture said: "A surprisingly moving tale of friendship and family, dressed up as an adorably frivolous sci-fi comedy."
The second feature will be Galaxy Quest, a 1999 film starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman that received a 90 percent "fresh" rating on RottenTomatoes.com. "Boldly going where few parodies have gone before" [Kevin Courrier with Globe and Mail], the film follows adventures of the alumni cast of a space opera television series. The movie, rated PG for some action violence, mild language, and sensuality, will begin around 8:45 p.m.
The movies are free and open to the public. Bring chairs, blankets, and snacks. No alcohol may be brought into the park, but food and beverages, including beer and wine, may be purchased from Town Center merchants.
