Summer Movies to See on the Big Screen

Movie theaters are back! Since the release of Top Gun: Maverick, Tom Cruise’s patriotic blockbuster that smashed Memorial Day records, the movie theater industry seems to be on the rise. Who doesn’t love to sink into a cushioned seat in a dark, cool theater to escape reality for two hours? If you’re planning to see a movie on the big screen, consider these currently showing or soon-to-be-released movies.

Summer movies are here!

If you enjoyed Steven Speilberg’s 1993 masterpiece, Jurassic Park, Jurassic World Dominion puts you right back in the world of gigantic prehistoric predators. Billed as the last film in the Jurassic World trilogy, this movie finds dinosaurs roaming the earth freely and humans trying to survive.

Jurassic World Dominion, summer movie

Jurassic World Dominion is the final film in the Jurassic World trilogy.

Just as its predecessors did, this film relies on CGI (computer-generated imagery) and also animatronics (mechatronic puppets). Check out the Jurassic Park Dominion trailer for an exciting look at this summer movie.

Reese Witherspoon’s movie adaptation of the best-selling novel, Where the Crawdads Sing  (below), will be released on July 15. Fans of the book are eagerly awaiting this movie that tells the story of Kya, the abandoned “marsh girl” who raised herself and lived in isolation all her life. Part murder mystery, part coming-of-age tale, this captivating story takes place in the marshlands of North Carolina. It also features a song, “Carolina,” written and sung by Taylor Swift. Be sure to check out the Where the Crawdads Sing movie trailer today.
