NOW SHOWING
“Meg 2” at
Screenville Cinemas

A sequel to the hit monster film, “The Meg” in 2018, where man
battles for survival against gigantic prehistoric sharks and other terrifying
creatures, “Meg 2: The Trench” is now showing at Screenville Cinemas of
Island City Mall and Alturas Mall.
At the bottom of the Philippine sea in the western part of the Pacific
Ocean, two deep-sea submersibles with an international research team on
board are being attacked by massive sharks, known as Megalodon, which
were previously thought to be extinct.
With time running out, expert rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Jason
Statham-“The Transporter” films) must save the crew from colossal 75-foot-
long sharks as they lie disabled and stranded in the trench. To survive, they
must outrun and outsmart their merciless predators.
What no one could have imagined is that years before, Taylor had
encountered this same Megs which terrorized a popular Chinese beach resort
teeming with vacationers and tourists. Now he must risk his own life again to
save everyone trapped below the deepest depths of the ocean, forcing him
face to face once more with the greatest and largest predators of all time.

COMING SOON
“Blue Beetle” at
Screenville Cinemas

From DC Comics comes another superhero flick about a teenage boy
who gains his superpowers from a bizarre piece of alien technology, “Blue
Beetle” will premiere worldwide on August 16, at Screenville Cinemas of
Island City Mall and Alturas Mall.
Latino actor Xolo Maridueña of Netflix series “Cobra Kai” stars as
college graduate Jaime Reyes who returns to his hometown Palmera City.
Unexpectedly, he finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien
biotechnology, known as the Scarab, which is stashed inside a take-out box
that he’s instructed to keep safe.
When the Scarab suddenly chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host, he
is bestowed with an incredible suit of armor capable of extraordinary and
unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the
superhero Blue Beetle.
The mysterious Scarab grafts onto Jaime’s spine, forming a powerful
reconfiguring exoskeleton around his body. He started to transform himself
into the titular superhero right before his family’s eyes, bestowing all kinds
of extraordinary abilities upon him.

“BLUE BEETLE” will premiere worldwide on August 16, at Screenville Cinemas of
