How’s your 2015 going so far? Doesn’t matter… because it’s about to get a whole lot more exciting. A line-up of action-packed, explosion-filled movies are about to hit the screen—flicks good enough to make us get off the couch, not wait for it to hit On Demand, and actually go to the theater.
Here's your list of 6 up-coming action movies over the next 6 months that you’re gonna want to see. Plan your calendars accordingly.
FEBRUARY
First up is Jupiter Ascending.
Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis (looking hot as ever, even though she
just had a baby with what’s-his-name), star in this new sci-fi action
film. In the movie, Mila Kunis’ character is marked for death. Why? Not
because she had baby-making relations with walking hair stand, Ashton
Kutcher, but because she poses a threat to the Queen of the Universe.
Together with Tatum, she must stop the Queen’s evil plot, in a world
where humans are the weaker species. Sound formulaic? Sure. But Kunis in
sexy space costumes, Tatum with pseudo-Spock ears, and plenty of space
chases and explosions? Plus we get to see if/how Sean Bean dies in this
one. We’re in.
Opens February 6.
MARCH
In theaters on March 27th, Get Hard,
starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart, is going to be off the charts on
the hilarity scale. (Seriously, though, I’d pay to watch Ferrell and
Hart read each other a deli menu.) In the movie, Ferrell’s bank manager
is wrongly convicted of a crime and gets sentenced to prison. So he
enlists the help of his friend (Hart), who tries to help him prepare to
do hard time. It's funny because Kevin Hart couldn’t make water hard if
he put it in the freezer for a week. Definitely don’t miss this one.
These two guys should have been in a movie long ago.
APRIL
On the 27th, Furious 7 hits theaters, a movie we’ve been waiting to see since the tragic death of Paul Walker.
Beauty, speed, adrenaline, and (of course) crime combine to bring us
the final installment of this incredibly popular franchise of car porn.
In addition to what we hope is a fitting tribute and send off to Walker,
7 features appearances by some past and present badasses of film. Written by Chris Morgan, who wrote Fast & Furious 1, 2, 5 and 6, as well as 47 Ronin and Wanted, we can rest assured this one will not disappoint.
MAY
I don’t think there is anyone with a pulse and a Y chromosome not looking forward to Avengers: Age of Ultron. If you haven't seen the trailers, go to ComingSoon
to check them out. Action junkies, comic book fans, superhero buffs,
and Marvel Comics devotees (plus those of us who can’t get enough of
Scarlett Johansson in skintight leather) will unite at the theaters on
May 1st to add our dollars to the eleventy billion this sequel will surely pull in.
JUNE
I have 4 words for you: “Jurassic World in 3D.” Who hasn’t seen the original Jurassic Park
at least 15 times? (Come on, it’s on basic cable every single weekend.)
Now, almost 20 years later, we get a sequel/reboot, starring Chris
Pratt as the only reasonable employee at the new theme park, even
though, you know, it’s apparent to everyone but scientists that
dinosaurs tend to kill everyone. That is until, you guessed it, a new
“hybrid” dino attraction escapes and wreaks havoc on the island. How
will they get out without being turned into dino lunch? Find out on June
12th. (Hint: Pratt has a posse. Of raptors.)
JULY
Can’t get enough Marvel movies? Well, do you really have a choice? The
studio is firing comic-based flicks at us like an endless barrage of
Hawkeye’s arrows. And next up for big screen treatment is little
known—and little in stature—superhero Ant-Man.
Many of us are extremely eager to see what Hollywood did with one of
the less-prominent superheroes of the Marvel world, especially since the
usually goofy Paul Rudd was tapped to star as the tiny hero. Ant-Man,
for those of you who don’t know, is a guy who gets a suit giving him the
ability to shrink in scale, but gain an incredible increase in
strength. Oh, and “talk” to insects. (Somewhere Aquaman quietly weeps
alone.) The trailers for the movie show a ton of action, and Rudd looks
like he holds his own, so mark this one as a must see.
Want more than just these 6? Hollywood has been flooding the intergoogles with enough awesome trailers to keep us busy (and adrenaline-pumped) all summer. Go check out a bunch and set your after-beach entertainment.
