    Digger is the most important movie of the century, but I can't tell you why (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Tom Cruise’s new movie Digger is not what it seems. The trailers for Alejandro González Iñárritu's dark comedy all hide several big twists and reveals that are much more fun and interesting to talk about than the version of this movie that's being marketed to you (still, no, it’s not a secret musical). But because this is a spoiler-free review, per an embargo I agreed to in order to see the film, I can't talk about any of that stuff. Thankfully, there’s still plenty to talk about in this overwhe

    'The Exorcist: Martyrs' Is Mike Flanagan's "Scariest Thing" Ever, Cast Member Says (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Mike Flanagan is about to release his latest horror project, Carrie, a modern adaptation of Stephen King’s debut novel, but the prolific writer-director’s next movie after that is already done filming. The Exorcist: Martyrs is set to release in theaters in March 2027, and we still know practically nothing about Flanagan’s take on the storied horror franchise. So when Polygon had a chance to interview Samantha Sloyan, one of Flanagan’s go-to actors whose credits include Hush, Midnight Mass, Carri

    Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender have been going hungry for a long, long time. But in 2026, we're finally eating good. In July, Paramount released Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, a standalone movie set after the events of the original animated series. And in October, we're getting our first new Avatar animated series since The Legend of Korra ended in 2014.

    'Godzilla Minus Zero' Review: The Best Godzilla Movie of All Time — Until Takashi Yamazaki's Next Sequel (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Godzilla is the living embodiment of raw, atomic violence on a catastrophic scale. You can make him fight King Kong to set up a sprawling cinematic universe. You can give him a son or throw in a giant moth deity. You can even turn him into a symbol of ineffectual, modern government. But in whatever direction he’s rampaging, Gojira will always be a metaphor for the festering wound delivered by the U.S. to Japan during World War II. Nobody understands that better than Takashi Yamazaki. With his ne

    Zach Cregger's 'Resident Evil' Has Officially Cracked the Code to Making Great Video Game Movies (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There's a moment near the end of Zach Cregger's Resident Evil when Austin Abrams' bumbling protagonist, Bryan, finally gives up all hope. After arriving at the hospital where scientists are developing a cure for the zombie virus in a top-secret lab, he's stopped in his tracks by… an out-of-order elevator. So Bryan does the only reasonable thing left to do: He gives up, takes off his shirt, sits down on the concrete floor of the hospital's basement-level garage, and cries. By creating an account,
