Five fall films to look forward to

This summer has presented its share of outstanding blockbuster films such as Jurassic World and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. The upcoming fall film season is sure to provide lots of action, giving moviegoers something to enjoy during the cold nights and constant rain.

Everest

Everest tells the story of a group of mountain climbers who perished from a storm while still atop Mount Everest, featuring the great Josh Brolin and Jake Gyllenhaal. However cold and windy it gets during the upcoming season, we can take comfort in the fact that it won’t be nearly as cold as on Mount Everest.

The Martian

When his team is forced to abandon him during a storm, a lone astronaut struggles to survive after he’s left stranded on the barren surface of Mars. Having already seen Matt Damon in Interstellar, I’m certain that he’ll give a great performance on this distant planet. Let’s daydream about other worlds, fuel our imagination, and get distracted us from our school work for a while.

Spectre

The film tells of James Bond’s attempt to thwart the secret organization simply known as Spectre. Daniel Craig’s Bond is fantastic, and he’s sure to succeed again in this instalment. This spy flick will provide adventure and impress with Bond’s use of gadgetry and wit.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two

This final film of the trilogy presents Katniss Everdeen’s final confrontation with President Snow as he tries to eradicate her and the rebellion that she aligned herself with. Having already read the Hunger Games trilogy, I can’t wait to see the franchise’s ending.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

This new addition to the popular series will revolve around new characters and encounters, while a new enemy from the Dark Side prepares to make his mark on the galaxy. I never thought that a seventh Star Wars film would be made, since the other six films brought everything full circle. This one promises the kind of adventure you can only find in the Star Wars universe.
