Sixty-five million years ago dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Then in 1993 Steven Spielberg and Michael Crichton, along with a few others, brought them back to life. With Jurassic Park , Spielberg did for dinosaurs, what he did for sharks back in 1975. In so doing, the master director added yet another blockbuster hit to his incredible filmography, and created a franchise as giant as the ancient creatures that inspired it. Ever since it arrived in cinemas, Jurassic Park has held the coveted title of OG dinosaur movie. Many have tried to nock it off the top spot - including all the JP / JW sequels that followed it - but none have succeeded. And it's easy to see why. The perfect blend of wonder, humour and horror, it is both an awe-inspiring monster/disaster movie and the perfect metaphor for man's destructive ambitions - our tendency to leap without looking, or even thinking. Which is why Spielberg is able to keep us waiting for the big dinosaur sequences, as he unravels this tragi...

It has been three years since Indominous Rex went on a rampage, and with the park forced to close, the dinosaurs have settled into a free and undisturbed existence on the island. That is until, after decades of being dormant, Isla Nublar's volcano - Mount Sibo - exploded into life. Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) now heads up the Dinosaur Protection Group, a non-profit organisation whose goal is to protect the animals. Dearing wants to evacuate all the dinosaurs before an eruption wipes out all life on the island and recruits Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) to help. But upon reaching Isla Nublar a third party's true intentions are revealed leaving Claire and Owen caught up in a web of conspiracy that could have global ramifications. The Jurassic Park franchise has had a rocky life. Jurassic Park was a smash hit. 20 years after creating the summer blockbuster with Jaws , Spielberg was back to revolutionise it with more animatronic monstrosities. Then 4 years later he trie...

Steven Spielberg brings Ernest Cline's famous novel to life in his first action-adventure movie since 2011's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. In 2045 the world has become a desolate, overcrowded place. Many try to escape this reality by entering in to the OASIS, a virtual world where pretty much anything is possible...including climbing Mount Everest with Batman. Before he died, the creator of the OASIS - James Halliday (Mark Rylance) - hid three keys within the world. The first person to collect all three keys and unlock the hidden Easter Egg wins ownership of the OASIS and Halliday's considerable fortune. "Gunters" or Egg Hunters like Parzival (Tye Sheridan) and Art3mis (Olivia Cooke) all have their own reasons for devoting their lives to solving their puzzle. But they're not the only ones searching for the keys to the kingdom, Nolan Sorrento (Ben Medelsohn), CEO of Innovative Online Industries (IOI) has dedicated vast company resou...
