The Blockbuster Breakdown: Our Top Movie Picks of the Summer
Summer is finally here, which means it’s time to grab some popcorn and settle in for some blockbuster entertainment. From heart-pumping action to family-friendly fun, this year’s summer movie lineup has something for everyone. But with so many films hitting theaters at once, how do you know which ones are worth your time? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered! In this post, we’ll break down our top picks of the summer and give you all the details on why these movies are must-sees. So sit back, relax, and let’s dive into the hottest flicks of the season!
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” takes viewers on a thrilling adventure back to the world of genetically-engineered dinosaurs. The film follows Owen and Claire as they return to Isla Nublar, where they worked at the former Jurassic World theme park. This time, though, their mission is not to entertain tourists but rather to rescue the remaining dinosaurs before a volcanic eruption destroys everything in its path.
As you might expect from a “Jurassic Park” movie, there are plenty of terrifying moments throughout “Fallen Kingdom.” From raptors attacking our heroes in dark corridors to new hybrid creatures that are even more deadly than previous iterations, this movie will get your heart racing.
But what really sets “Fallen Kingdom” apart is its exploration of ethical questions surrounding genetic engineering and human intervention in nature. Through characters like Dr. Wu and Eli Mills, we see how greed can lead people down dangerous paths – even when it comes to bringing extinct animals back to life.
Overall, “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” delivers all the thrills audiences have come to expect from this franchise while also raising thought-provoking questions about humanity’s relationship with nature.
Incredibles 2
Incredibles 2 was highly anticipated by fans of the original movie and it did not disappoint. The sequel picks up where the first film left off, with the Parr family continuing their superhero antics in secret.
One of the most impressive aspects of Incredibles 2 is its animation. Pixar has really outdone themselves with this one, creating stunning visuals that are both colorful and dynamic. From Elastigirl’s motorcycle chases to Jack-Jack’s unpredictable powers, every scene is a feast for the eyes.
The film also introduces new characters like Evelyn Deavor and Voyd, who add depth to an already rich cast of superheroes. And while Mr. Incredible takes on a larger parenting role in this movie, it’s great to see Elastigirl get her time in the spotlight as she battles Screenslaver.
Incredibles 2 lives up to expectations as a fun-filled adventure that will delight audiences young and old alike.
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Ant-Man and the Wasp is a Marvel superhero movie that follows the adventures of Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man (played by Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne, aka The Wasp (played by Evangeline Lilly). The two characters team up to find Hope’s mother, who vanished into the Quantum Realm years ago.
The film has a perfect balance of action-packed sequences, humor and heartwarming moments. It also showcases some fantastic size-shifting effects that will keep you on your toes throughout its runtime.
One thing that sets this movie apart from other superhero movies is its focus on family dynamics. We see Scott trying his best to be a good father to his daughter while balancing his duties as Ant-Man. Similarly, we witness the emotional journey of Hope reuniting with her long-lost mother after years of being separated.
Moreover, Ant-Man and The Wasp introduces new villains like Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) whose powers are thrillingly unpredictable while adding depth to what could have been a merely superficial character.
Ant-Man and The Wasp delivers an entertaining ride filled with laughs, action scenes while delving deep into complex family relationships in ways not typically seen in comic book adaptations.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again
“Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” is a musical romantic comedy film that serves as both a prequel and sequel to the 2008 film “Mamma Mia!”. The story jumps back and forth in time, with flashbacks depicting how young Donna Sheridan (played by Lily James) met each of the three potential fathers of her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), while also showing present-day Sophie preparing for the grand opening of their new hotel on the Greek island of Kalokairi.
The movie features an all-star cast, including Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Cher. Fans who loved the first movie will certainly enjoy this second installment which promises more catchy ABBA tunes and heartwarming moments.
One thing that sets “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” apart from its predecessor is its ability to make you laugh one moment and cry the next. It explores themes such as motherhood, friendship, love, loss and self-discovery through lively song-and-dance numbers that will leave you tapping your feet along.
If you’re looking for a feel-good movie with great music and an amazing cast then “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” should definitely be on your must-watch list this summer.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout
Mission: Impossible – Fallout is the sixth installment in the Mission: Impossible series, and it definitely does not disappoint. Tom Cruise reprises his role as Ethan Hunt, who this time must race against time to recover stolen plutonium before it falls into the wrong hands.
The action sequences are breathtaking and heart-stopping, with Cruise performing his own stunts that will leave you on the edge of your seat. The plot twists and turns will keep you guessing until the very end.
This summer has brought us some truly amazing blockbusters that have left audiences wanting more. From Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’s epic dinosaur battles to Incredibles 2’s heartwarming family moments, these films have something for everyone. Ant-Man and the Wasp’s humor and action-packed scenes make it a standout superhero film, while Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again brings back all our favorite ABBA hits in a fun musical sequel. And last but certainly not least, Mission: Impossible – Fallout delivers non-stop thrills from start to finish.
So grab some popcorn and head to your local theater because these movies are definitely worth seeing on the big screen!
