I Kill Giants It's a science fiction movie in which a teenager named Barbara enters the world of the famous board game Dungeons and Dragons. In this way, she will establish an interesting relationship with a new colleague from her institute, overcoming the difficulties that the real world poses for her by applying the logic of the aforementioned board game. This Chris Columbus produced film is based on a graphic novel by Ken Niimura.
However, beyond the premieres we also have some somewhat interesting news, classics for those who have not seen them. By your side we start with Tomorrow, a film in which, as a result of the pollution that man exerts on the earth and climate change, climatic phenomena begin to occur that put the human species in real check. If you are looking for a little more action we recommend Crank: Poison The Bloode, in this movie Jason Statham represents Chev Chelios, a hitman who is inoculated with a poison that will kill him if his adrenaline level and heart rate relax, while he has an hour to find the antidote in this real movie of intrepid action. On the other hand, for those who have missed it, the film adaptation of Infernoby Dan Brown is the continuation of Da Vinci Code, interesting the performance of Tom Hank in the beautiful landscapes of Venice, a film that invites you to think. If you are looking for super-heroes we have Ant-Man, the peculiar ant-man who changes his size and with supernatural strength, while facing the drama we find the award-winning Green Mile, a movie that I prefer not to hint at, I just highly recommend it.
HBO movies for this summer
We turn to direct competition from Netflix at the level of streaming content, however, despite the fact that this holiday season may be ideal to attract a good handful of customers, HBO's offer is quite scarce, especially if we analyze what the competition offers. Let's start with a little terror Friday 13 is the strong bet of HBO for this August, the modernized version of a movie classic, the bloodthirsty masked man who preys on the innocence of a group of students in the ruins of Camp Crystal Lake. The film did not get a good review from the critics but it will certainly give us a good time.
On the other hand we advance with Forrest Gump, this tragicomedy starring Tom Hanks and winner of the Oscar for best film in 1994. Overcoming, love, empathy and everything that can happen, because remember: «Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what will happen to you ...». A phrase that left a mark on an entire generation.
In the rest of the content highlights terror once again we have the rejuvenated version in 2010 de Nightmare in Elm street, while Never turn off the light also ask for a bit of prominence, both films enough to spend a good afternoon during the week, but without any fanfare. For science fiction lovers there is the platform Stark Trek: Into Darkness, a good way to relive past times, but first you must put yourself in order with Star Trek, the 2009 version, so we see both in chronological order. And finally, a bit of antiheroes with the mythical Suicide Squad, laughter and action in equal measure, the most recommended without a doubt of the entire cast offered.
Movistar + movies for this summer
The Spanish platform is the one that is also committed to quality this summer, although it must be said that in general Movistar + usually has a very good catalog. Touch highlight Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi, the last film in the saga Star Wars finally comes to the platform to allow us to enjoy that supreme quality of CGI that Disney has made available to Lucasfilm. However, the film will be released on August 31, so we will not be able to see it on the online platform until then, a pity that they have not decided to launch it a little earlier.
For the little ones in the house we have Ferdinand, the film of the bull that wins the applause of the square is now available on Movistar +, a story worth seeing and highly entertaining. Like The Justice League, available from next August 17 and packed with action and fun. To make us think a little we have 120 Beats Per Minute, a film that tells the cruelty of living with AIDS in the 90s, a little social criticism never hurts on the small screen.
