Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Time has passed since the park was rebooted and the dinosaurs have made it their home. A volcano is set to erupt on Isla Nubar and the animal activists (and shareholders) want to save the dinos, despite scientists like Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) warning for nature to take its course and get rid of the unholy abominations once and for all. And so back we go, into the belly of the beast...

These movies aren't rocket science. What you're going to get is nature turning on man, once more. It does enough right that it's passable, popcorn-munching entertainment, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to like it.

THE IMPOSSIBLE [2012]

Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor and newcomer Tom Holland deliver some powerful performances in The Orphanage director Juan Antonio Bayona's The Impossible.

Following the story of a family separated during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the film never tugs at the heartstrings for the sake of drama but grounds itself in a reality that is all too frightening and emotionally draining.  A realistic retelling of a story about family, the will to survive, glimmers of hope and life & death that's tastefully done.
