Here’s four can’t-miss films to see this summer…

Solo: A Star Wars Story

Solo: A Star Wars Story film recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and its pre-show red carpet was a model-filled affair. Now, the film will finally be released in the Middle East later this month and we can only expect the next chapter of the Star Wars franchise to be just as good as the previous films. The story follows the early adventures of the galaxy’s favourite smuggler, Han Solo, and his famed companion, Chewbacca.

The fifth instalment of the Jurassic Park film series is set to be one of its best yet. The film will be released during the first weekend of next month and marks the second instalment of the Jurassic World trilogy. Continuing on from its 2015 story where dinosaurs have escaped their home at Jurassic World theme park on Isla Nublar, this movie sees the lead characters launch a rescue mission to bring the creatures safely to a dedicated sanctuary created in America. 

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will be released on June 7, 2018.
