"At the Museum of the Moving Image Mission: Impossible—Story and Spectacle provides a close look at the craft behind the film series—costume pieces, detailed breakdowns of stunts, and design work—on view through December 14; the museum is also showing Lu Yang: The Great Adventure of the Material World, which can be experienced either as a projected film or as interactive gameplay." - Charlie Hobbs
"In Astoria, this joyfully educational celebration of cinema doubles as a movie theater, with new releases and a robust repertory schedule that may keep you lingering. Two rotating exhibits typically run alongside permanent installations about the art of filmmaking that break down the invention of the medium and let you dabble in postproduction by playing with scoring and sound editing." - Charlie Hobbs, Andrea Whittle
"There's so much to do in Astoria that, should you make your way all the way out there, it may be difficult to convince you that seeing a movie is one of the essentials. But you'll see that the effort's worthwhile after poking your head into the Museum of the Moving Image, a celebration of cinema so joyfully educational that this writer copped a ticket to a film he'd already seen (the fabulous Passages, for they play new releases in addition to a schedule of repertory screenings) just to stick around a little longer. The moviegoing experience here is wonderful, with the theaters comfortable and clean, with the added perk of permanent exhibits upstairs taking visitors through how exactly movies are made in the first place."
"The Museum Of The Moving Image in Astoria will be screening 2001: A Space Odyssey on Sunday, July 25th at 12:30pm. Your $25 ticket gets you access to the full museum as well (which is an essential NYC museum bucket list activity). Plus, there are discounts for seniors, students, and kids. Christopher Nolan thinks you should bring your kids." - hannah albertine
"A museum dedicated to film, offering collectibles like an enamel pin."
