Not much beats a summer blockbuster. There’s something about sitting back and relaxing with popcorn and a jumbo coke whilst watching one of the most anticipated films of the year. Here are the 4 films we can’t wait to see this summer.
TOMORROWLAND
A former boy-genius (George Clooney) and a gifted teenager (Britt Robertson) set out on a dangerous mission to unearth the secrets of Tomorrowland, an enigmatic location caught between time and space, where their actions directly affect the world and themselves. Expect insane cinematography, courtesy of the two-time Oscar winning director Brad Bird.
Release date: May 22
JURASSIC WORLD
The trailer says it all. Expect action – lots of it. It’s been 22 years since Spielberg’s first Jurassic Park blockbuster, and Isla Nublar returns to our screens once again, only this time featuring a fully functioning dinosaur theme park. As is well until, of course, a man made dinosaur runs riot and all hell breaks loose.
Release date: June 12
