WALL-E
Saturday, May 9, 2026 - 2pm Matinee Only
Reel Alternatives Huntsville is proud to sponsor a special matinee of WALL-E in support of the Huntsville High School Championship Robotics Team -- Hoya Robotics. The film for this event was chosen by the students and it's not only ideally appropriate for the cause but also as appealing, funny, heartwarming and relevant as it was when it won both the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film in 2009.
Join us for an inspiring afternoon at the movies while helping some of the brightest young minds in the world design, build and compete with their next championship robot right here in Huntsville. This team punches way above their weight on the world stage with very few resources and deserves every penny that comes their way. Your support fuels innovation, teamwork, and the future of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) right here in our community.
About The Film:
In a distant, but not so unrealistic future where mankind has abandoned earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful multi-national Buy N Large corporation, WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess.
WALL-E, (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class), is the last robot left on Earth. He spends his days tidying up the planet, one piece of garbage at a time. He has quite a collection of things, from lighters to a working iPod and even a small ring box (without the ring). He even has the last living plant.
But after so long, WALL-E has developed a personality, and he's more than a little lonely. Then he spots EVE, a sleek and shapely probe sent back to Earth on a scanning mission. Smitten, WALL-E embarks on his greatest adventure yet when he follows EVE across the galaxy to a space cruise ship which is carrying all of the humans who evacuated Earth 700 years earlier. With an overload of convenience and laziness, they have become so fat that they are unable to move. Due to hastily given instructions given to it, the autopilot it tries to get rid of the plant that WALL-E treasures which compels WALL-E, EVE, the pilot and some malfunctioning robots to find a way to retrieve the plant and save the earth.
"With "Wall-E," (director) Andrew Stanton blends in just the right mix of silliness, action, special effects and humor for kids with intelligence, romance and a journey through cinematic history, especially in the sci-fi genre, that adults are going to be downright intellectually stimulated."

HOLY DAYS
Monday, May 11, 2026 - 2pm Matinee Only
A lost boy in search of heaven, three odd nuns on a mission, a car powered by God - and stolen money. This is a road trip like no other. A comedic near-tragedy that just keeps going South. (Filmed entirely in New Zealand.)
Judy Davis, Miriam Margolyes, and Jacki Weaver lead an unforgettable ensemble in Holy Days — a heartfelt, riotous comedy about rebellion, faith, and found family. When the eccentric sisters of St. Suzanne’s convent are threatened with forced retirement, they hit the road in a stolen car bound for New Zealand’s remote South Island. Their mission: track down an ex-nun-turned-lawyer who might save their home.
Joining them is a determined young Māori boy (Elijah Tamati), secretly seeking the summit of Mt. Cook to reunite with his mother’s spirit. (He is on a heartwarming quest to retrieve his late mother from heaven before his father's new girlfriend takes her place.) But a sudden snowstorm derails everything, forcing this unlikely band to confront mortality — and each other.

UIKSARINGITARA (WRONG HUSBAND)
Monday, May 11, 2026 - 7pm Evening Show Only
TIFF Canada Top Ten, 2025
Winner, Best Canadian Feature Film Award, TIFF ’25
A strange death, village upheavals, swarming suitors and supernatural forces lead to a love story gone awry in acclaimed Inuk filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk’s latest enthralling imagining of ancient Inuit stories.
Celebrated Inuk director Zacharias Kunuk (Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner) returns a captivating, epic, historical drama about an arranged marriage, set 4,000 years ago. Seamlessly blending the supernatural with verité realism, the film follows a boy, Sapa, and a girl, Kaujak, whose union in marriage is promised by their families from birth.
In their village, time passes as they hunt and prepare food, eventually becoming known as “future husband” and “future wife.” Their peaceful existence, however, is soon to be disrupted. Vivid dreams foretell a battle, and an ominous troll-like creature lurks by the waterfront, attempting to pull someone from the village away.
With arresting imagery, his trademark humour, and a cast of mostly non-professional actors, Kunuk has again created a world that not only builds upon Inuit stories and legends to enthrall audiences but works to preserve these reimagined stories for generations to come. Born from oral traditions, and committed to authenticity, Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband) is a unique feat of both cultural conservation and engrossing cinema.
About the Director:
Zacharias Kunuk was born in the Igloolik region (now part of Nunavut). His film Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (01) won Best Canadian Feature at TIFF and the Caméra d’Or at Cannes. He has also directed the The Journals of Knud Rasmussen (06), Maliglutit (Searchers) (16), and One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk (19).
