Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (3D)

The fate of one will change the future of all.


Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
The sequel picks up from the end of “Where to Find Them,” where the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander. However, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists his former student Newt Scamander. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world. This film is releasing in 2D, 3D, 3D IMAX and 4DX. This is the 3D version.

CommentsContains scenes of horror. The film contains complex and mature fantastical themes of a fictional world inhabited by secretive witches and wizards, a battle between good and evil, a quest of hindering evil from prevailing, a lust for power, a search for truth and a painful history. The dark and magical themes are also accompanied by frightening fictional creatures that often roar or growl quite loudly and bare their fangs which is emphasized by the film theatre format.
