THE SCORCH TRIALS

This film is a follow up of the maze runner. There are 5 films in this series. It is about a group of people who have just escaped the maze in the first film. They think they have escaped and are now free, however they are wrong. The 'controllers' have set up a new set of challenges for them to face. Although I haven't seen the film yet, I really enjoyed the first one and think this one will be even better as I enjoy this genre a lot.

 

 

 

 

 

JURRASIC WORLD 

 This movie the fourth film from the series of Jurassic park. it is about when they open a new park 22 years after Jurassic park shut down. Two brother go on a trip to visit their aunt who works at the park. they are told to stay with their 'nanny' but eventually ditch them. they then get stuck among the dinosaurs with no sign of escape. Meanwhile, the dinosaur trainer is training baby raptors. He goes to visit a new species they have created but they won't tell him what it is made of. Eventually the new dinosaur escapes and the trainer trains the raptors to fight against it however it turns out that the big dinosaur is part raptor and the babies turn against the humans. After a while the trainer connects with the baby raptors and overcome the big dinosaur. I like this film because it has a lot of suspense however I find it sad at the end because only one of the baby raptors survive and walks off alone. 

 

 

 

THE MARTIAN

 

During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive but while he waits he must also find away to keep alive.

I like this film, although I haven't seen it, because it looks like it has a lot of suspense and find action films and space really interesting .
