Summer-Fall 2022 Movie Preview



I'm not in the best period healthwise lately, and therefore, not in my best mood to restart blogging. However, I decided to make the traditional quicklist for this period of what's announced for big screen release during the the next half of year. As in my last enumeration of this type I'll go for the ultra-selective variant = let's solve this quickly.

As much as I liked the return to the "Jurassic World", as bad it seemed for me the sequel in "Fallen Kingdom". Still, I'd check on the list the third part of the reboot too = "Jurassic World Dominion" - announced for June. After all, if the expectations are low... who knows ;)

Also in June we have "Lightyear". How did we arrive from the "Toy Story" universe to what we see in the trailer seems to be a mistery deeper than the deep space itself. But I'm sure we'll get the answer in the movie (if it doesn't get swollen by some black hole).

In July, with a feeling of a mix between Tarantino and John Wick (hopefully closer to the second of the series), we'll get to see "Bullet Train". Surprisingly maybe, despite the clear looks of an action movie (with lots of action), this is apparently based on a novel. A Japanese one, as the setting.

I don't see anything else besides "Luck" to worth mentioning for August. Not that I'm expecting much from this one, but since I didn't write for quite a while about an animation, I thought it might be a good idea to check two in the current list.

"Don't Worry Darling", to be released in September, has a promising trailer, which doesn't spoil much of the story. That's the good part. However, I found some red flags looking at the screenwriters team, where the previous work is either in the light rom-com area, ranging towards "Titanic II". Hopefully the current one won't sink...

Unfortunately October-November are a bit blank at the moment regarding released trailers, and I don't have any of the titles announced on my waiting list anyway, so we'll stop here. Maybe we'll have a better "harvest" closer to the winter season.
