Movie Night: Guardians of the Galaxy
The final film that YOU picked during January’s Summer Blockbuster Battle is Guardians of the Galaxy (PG-13), curated by The Cary Theater.
A group of misfit outlaws from different corners of the universe unexpectedly team up to stop a powerful threat. Through humor, adventure, and heart, they learn to trust one another and form an unconventional family. Together, they must navigate their differences and face high-stakes challenges to protect the galaxy.
Come early to enjoy pre-screening activities for all ages, making it a perfect night out for everyone. Get creative with arts and crafts at the Nest Pavilion, where kids can turn recycled cassette tapes into their very own bedazzled Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and dive into a Galaxy Slime station! Then head over to the Academy Pavilion to slice beats in MetaQuest VR’s Beat Saber to your own mix of classic rock, all while grooving to hand-spun vinyl from Hunky Dory’s Alayna McNally on the Great Lawn! Prescreening activities are from 6 – 7:30 p.m. The film will begin at sunset, approximately 8:12 p.m.
