‘Greenland 2: The Migration’
The post-apocalyptic sequel catches up with engineer John Garrity (Gerard Butler) and his family five years after a comet wiped out much of civilization.

‘Marty, Life Is Short’
An enjoyable companion piece to last year’s “John Candy: I Like Me,” director Lawrence Kasdan’s documentary chronicles the comedy life of Martin Short, his early years in “SCTV” and “SNL,” and his coterie of wonderfully bizarre characters. Most of all, though, you get the sense that this loving family man is the best hang at any party.

‘No Place to Be Single’
In the Italian romantic comedy, Elisa (Matilde Gioli) is a single mom running an estate in a Tuscan town when childhood friend Michele (Cristiano Caccamo) returns home.

‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’
The heartwarming dramedy stars Sally Field as Tova, an aquarium cleaner who looks out for an octopus named Marcellus (voiced by Alfred Molina).

‘Rosemead’
Lucy Liu nails one of the most heartfelt roles of her career in this drama based on a true story. She stars as a terminally ill widow whose teenage son (Lawrence Shou) is diagnosed with schizophrenia. When his symptoms worsen and become more violent, she shoves her own cancer diagnosis aside to be there in every way for her kid.

‘Send Help’
Rachel McAdams enjoys one of her most fun and unhinged roles outside of Regina George in Sam Raimi’s dark comedy/thriller. She stars as a strategy expert (and “Survivor” superfan) who gets stuck on a deserted island with her sexist tech-bro boss (Dylan O’Brien). She thrives and he struggles, and the situation grows gory and bonkers.

‘Swapped’
In the heart-tugging, body-swapping fantastical animated comedy, furry little mammal Ollie (voiced by Michael B. Jordan) and feathery bird Ivy (Juno Temple) are from rival species. But when a mystical orb lets them see what it’s like to live the other’s existence, they form a bond crucial to saving their ecosystem when a fearsome threat arises.

‘We Bury the Dead’
After Tasmania is devastated by an experimental American weapon, killing half a million people, Ava (Daisy Ridley) volunteers for body-removal duty to find her husband. But some of the dead come back to life, and not in a good way, in a zombie horror drama that’s more an exploration of grief and loss than a gore-filled spectacle.

‘Whistle’
There are shades of “Final Destination” and “Flatliners” in this exquisitely eerie horror flick. A group of high school kids (including Dafne Keen and “Yellowjackets” breakout Sophie Nélisse) make the mistake of using an Aztec death whistle, which curses each of them to be hunted by dark figures that take the form of how they die in the future.
