Arriving Friday, April 8, at Megaplex Cedar Stadium 8 is the long-awaited video game adaptation “Sonic the Hedgehog 2.”
The follow-up to the 2020 film, “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” returns audiences to the titular blue blur as he teams up with a fox named Tails to once again stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik from finding a power artifact known as the Chaos Emerald. Things get more complicated for the newly formed duo when an echidna warrior named Knuckles has joined forces with Robotnik.
The film stars Ben Schwartz, Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Idris Elba, Colleen O’Shaughnessey, Tika Sumpter and Lee Majdoub. Showings for the video game adaptation vary throughout the weekend, with the earliest Saturday and Sunday showings starting at 10 a.m.

Both films will have Thursday night showings and will play through the weekend.
