My Most Anticipated Films: July 2014
Is it just me or are this years movies not as exciting as previous years?? Anyway, July, July, July.
What is it about? A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.
When is it released? Thursday 17th July
Why I'm looking forward to it? Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes was an incredible film, better than I could have dreamed of. Perfect casting with Madsden and Felton etc. The story was brilliant and I'm hoping this one continues those amazing attributes. Whilst I don't think it will be as good, I still think it'll be a good sequel and will make more money.
What is it about? An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy's fate in the balance.
When is it released? Thursday 31st July
Why I'm looking forward to it? This is definitely one of the films I'm most excited for over the year. It's perhaps the biggest risk of the summer, but it looks incredible. I can't wait to see Karen Gilian as a villain, and I think these ragtag superheroes will do better than people this.
Transformers: Age Of Extinction
What is it about? Earth is scarred by the events of the past three movies, but is moving on after all the giant robots disappeared. Cade Yeager, an inventor, discovers a buried Transformer, which sets the stage for the return of the Autobots and Decepticons.
When is it released? Thursday 10th July
Why I'm looking forward to it? Let's be honest, no one watches Transformers and expects a great story, but they are truly escapist high action films. I think Marky Mark will be a whole lot less annoy
ing the Shia Le Buff-ting, and we robot dinosaurs always seem fun!
