Summer is the perfect time to escape the heat and spend a couple of hours in a cool, dark movie theater. Sip on a syrupy soda, feeling the bubbles burst on your tongue. Crunch your way through a bag of popcorn, the salty butter coating the roof of your mouth. Recline your red pleather lounger all the way back and tuck in for one of the summer’s biggest blockbusters.
This summer, there are some heavy hitters (and some less heavy hitters) coming to theaters near you. Some of this year’s most anticipated films, per Rolling Stone, are about to arrive in your local cinema. The only question that remains is which one you will choose on your ticket stub. Whether you are in for the nostalgia factor of a live-action Lilo & Stitch, or you are looking for heart-pumping adrenaline from Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the biggest movies this summer are diverse and engaging.
