Mad Max smashed into cinemas in 1979, the revenge flick making a star of Mel Gibson and taking vehicular carnage to the next level. Mad Max: Fury Road finds writer-director George Miller returning to that barren post-apocalyptic world, though it’s Tom Hardy who plays ‘The Road Warrior’ this time out. The story finds Max doing battle with Immortan Joe – who the eagle-eyed might remember as Toecutter from the original flick – in what several spectacular trailers suggest will be the ultimate road war.Big Game stars Samuel L. Jackson as a President so badass that when his plane is brought down by terrorists, he teams up with a 13-year-old boy to hunt down the men trying to kill him. Written and directed by the filmmaker behind twisted Christmas classic Rare Exports, it arrives with little fanfare, but we’ve seen it, reviewed it , and can guarantee that Big Game is one of 2015’s most entertaining flicks.This one is still cloaked in mystery, but what we do know is that Tomorrowland is written by Brad Bird (The Incredibles) and Damon Lindelof (Lost) and stars George Clooney as a disillusioned former child genius who teams up with a science-loving teenager to embark in a dangerous mission through space and time. With the summer full of sequels, reboots and remakes, here’s hoping this one is a breath of fresh air.Spooks – which was called Mi5 in the States – ran on British TV from 2002-2011 and played like a UK version of 24. This celluloid spin-off introduces Game of Thrones star Kit Harington as headstrong agent Will Holloway, but the formula largely remains the same, with the UK’s security service fighting terrorism at home and abroad. Their target this time is Adam Qasim, a charismatic terrorist planning an attack on London.Dwayne Johnson plays a search and rescue pilot endeavouring to save his daughter in the aftermath of an almighty earthquake. So that’s The Rock, versus an earthquake. Enough said.
