A new Jurassic Park movie that looks like it has great dinosaur effects (naturally). Apparently the island where the dinosaurs live is about to be destroyed in a giant volcanic eruption. A team of biologists is sent and they seem to be the protagonists (they get chased around by dinosaurs a lot). Jeff Goldblum responding to arguments that the dinosaurs need protection like any endangered species by telling a Congressional Committee that dinosaurs were here before us, and if we aren't careful, they will be here after us. (Surprisingly un-politically-correct, he seemingly wants them all dead. But some have already escaped to the mainland.)
A movie about a guy (Dwayne Johnson, a former commando naturally) who raises an orphan gorilla and loves him, then some scientific experiment goes wrong causing animals in the vicinity of the accident to grow into giant monsters. The military (Dwayne's former employers) naturally want to kill all of them when they attack Chicago (no loss) but Dwayne fights to save his giant friend who is now like King Kong, smashing down skyscrapers. (As long as he only does it in Chicago, no problem.) Giant block-long crocodiles.
Several new Marvel comics movies, including a an Avengers movie where the super heroes fight alien invaders or time travelers or something (I don't know, but it looks cool, they emerge from a giant Stargate-style ring hanging in the sky)
and a Marvel Black Panther movie that's seemingly about a future black revolution against evil white oppressors (or something like that) to a rap soundtrack. A sci-fi movie aimed at a black audience (and the kind of white lefties that love that stuff).
A new Pacific Rim interdimensional-monsters vs giant-robots movie. Very Japanese in its inspiration.
An interesting one called Alita Battle Angel, based on some Japanese manga. It's about a female humanoid robot found on some future scrap heap and reactivated. She has no memories and at first doesn't know she's a machine. (Lots of pathos.) But her reactivation stirs up some powerful enemies who apparently had their reasons for shutting her off. She fights some bad-ass cyborgs and turns out to be a super warrior.
And something kind of resembling Arrival starring Natalie Portman. This one's an apparently unrelated (except stylistically) movie called Annihilation. There's some kind of weird ecological thing happening that looks like aliens 'terraforming' (alien-forming) Earth to their specifications. Lots of government consternation. A team is sent in to investigate and try to make contact with the aliens. (What did they look like? I don't know... Were they carbon-based? I don't know...) It turns out to be more of a return to the garden of eden thing, apparently. Paradisical inside its boundaries.
And one called Ready Player One which depicts a totally-ruined future-US where everyone actually lives in makeshift shacks while "living" fake "lives" in virtual reality where everyone can be a superhero. Lots of bravado in there, by hopeless people dressed in rags in real life.
That's what we are looking forward to...
