Your Name.
One of the great animated surprises of 2016 came from Japan, specifically from the mind of Makoto Shinkai ("The Garden of Words"). Beautifully animated and visually stunning, "Your Name" is a delight of such magnitude that you will forgive any flaws in its narrative logic in order to fall in love with its story about soulmates destined to meet (with a healthy dose of fantasy and science fiction thrown in). The movie has rightfully become a box office phenomenon in Japan and many parts of the world, and it won the Best Animated Film award at the Sitges Festival.

Weathering With You
Makoto Shinkai had already established himself in the world of anime cinema (thanks to movies like "The Garden of Words"), but it was with the international phenomenon of "Your Name." that he achieved renown in various corners of the world. At the same time, this raised higher expectations for what would be his next project, "Weather With You". The movie fits in the same line of romantic fantasy as its predecessor, with afflicted teenage characters and the climate itself turned into a character. It might be less impactful than the acclaimed "Your Name.", but it is still a powerful drama and visually enchanting.

Twisters
Twisters, as its title suggests, is a sequel to the classic 1996 movie Twister, and while its plot does not have a direct link to its predecessor, it essentially tells the same story, with some changes and updates. Set in the present day, the plot follows Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones, Fresh), a meteorologist disillusioned by a past tornado tragedy, living in New York with a desk job. However, when she returns to Oklahoma to assist a colleague with tornado experiments, she meets Tyler (Glen Powell, Hit Man), a charismatic YouTuber who gets in her way. Although not a film that really offers anything innovative (if you saw the first one, you've seen this new version), the disaster sequences are spectacular, and both Edgar-Jones and Powell deliver excellent, emotive, and fun performances.

The Imaginary
The Imaginary is a Japanese film featuring hand-drawn animation by Studio Ponoc, founded by producer and screenwriter Yoshiaki Nishimura (known for Mary and The Witch's Flower) after leaving Studio Ghibli following the production of The Secret World of Arrietty. The plot follows Rudger, a boy imagined by a girl named Amanda. One day, Rudger gets lost and ends up in the City of Imaginaries, home to all the imaginary friends who are being forgotten by their children. Meanwhile, Amanda embarks on an adventure to find him. It is a beautiful story about the loss of innocence to reality and the power of imagination, which also stands out for its hand-drawn animation. Conceptually, it resembles its Hollywood contemporary IF, though truth be told, this film is more imaginative and coherent. A must-watch, especially if you are a fan of Japanese animation and are interested in discovering new names—and studios—dedicated to it.

Planet of the Apes
For fans of the 1968 classic Planet of the Apes, disappointed by the declining quality of its four sequels, this Tim Burton-directed remake was a source of much excitement. Eventually, it was also frustration. The film, despite its excellent makeup, production design, visual effects, and a cast with names like Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, and Michael Clarke Duncan, didn't exactly live up to the lofty ideas of its original, and changed several elements of the narrative although he rescued or adapted others that were too iconic (the ending, although different, maintains the same idea). It is, at its best, an interesting interpretation of a classic, through the unique lens of Burton and his penchant for B-movie sci-fi.

Gasoline Rainbow
Gasoline Rainbow, a film selected at festivals like SXSW and Venice, is directed by brothers Bill and Turner Ross, who often blur the lines between documentary and fiction. This story is about five teenage friends from a small Oregon town who, with no major plans and school behind them, decide to embark on a journey in an old van to a place they have never been: the Pacific beach. Cheerful and optimistic, it is a portrait of Generation Z's ideals and attitudes, where the destination is not as important as the journey and the people we meet along the way.
