Catch these 5 massive movies in Dubai this summer
If heading to the mall is on the top of your 'Ways to escape summer' plans, why not add in a movie to your shopping experience? Over the next few months, there are a number of top movies being released, giving you the perfect excuse to sit back, relax, and enjoy some entertainment in the cool AC. Here are 5 movies you don't want to miss this summer in Dubai F1 Release date: June 26 Formula 1 fans, time to take your place on the grid as F1 finally roars into theatres on June 26. The movie which took four years to produce, is directed by Joseph Kosinski, known for his work on Top Gun: Maverick . It stars Brad Pitt, Damson Idris and even the current Formula 1 drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Fernando Alonso and Pierre Gasly. The movie follows Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a promising driver who had an accident that nearly ended his career. 30 years later, the owner of a struggling Formula 1 team convinces him to return to racing and become 'the best in the world.' Driving alongside the team's hotshot, Sonny learns the road to redemption is not an easy task, and not one to travel alone. Will Formula 1 fans give this movie the champagne celebration it deserves, or will it be a 'DNF'? We will have to wait and see. Keep your eyes peeled as some of the scenes were shot in our very own Abu Dhabi. PS. Our review of the movie will be out shortly after its release, so stay tuned. Get your tickets here. Jurassic World Rebirth Release date: July 3 For fans of the franchise…our terrifying, scaly friends are back on the big screen this July. Now in its seventh installment, the roaring action of Jurassic Park Rebirth takes place several years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion . We will join a team of scientists heading to a remote island on a mission to secure some genetic material that could possibly be a medical breakthrough that could save thousands of lives. If you thought the dinosaurs from past editions were scary, well… you'd be wrong. The ones on this island were deemed too dangerous for the original park, and we are about to meet them…and something a lot more disturbing. The movie stars Scarlett Johanson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey and Rupert Friend. Get your tickets here. Superman Release date: July 10 If you're out of touch with this iconic DC Comics character, thankfully you don't need to start from scratch, as director James Gunn has designed it to be a fresh starting point for new viewers. We bid a teary farewell to Henry Cavill and welcome David Corenswet who soared into action, taking over the blue and red suit. The plot, however (and as with most superhero movies), is hard to pinpoint. What we do know is Clark Kent is working as a reporter at the Daily Planet newspaper with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), and he is trying to live a normal life, or at least a balanced one. But are things really that simple? He faces trouble when Lex Luthor – a smart and powerful enemy – comes in his way. While we're obviously used to seeing Superman dominate in the 'good versus evil' theme, this movie showcases a Superman that is driven by compassion with an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind. Get your tickets here. The Naked Gun Release date: July 15 Remember protagonist Detective Sergeant Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen)? How could you forget him? The bumbling police lieutenant – without a doubt – bought the giggles with his performance in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad as he somehow managed to save the day without even realising it. And now… 27 years later, we are being gifted a reboot. Meet Frank Drebin Jr (Liam Neeson), the son of Frank Drebin. He too, is a bumbling cop. What can we say… like father, like son. Drebin Junior's quirky police department is in danger of being shut down unless he can crack a major case. He teams up with Beth (played by the one and only Pamela Anderson) to solve her brother's murder… but not without stumbling through it all. Expect the classic gags, nods to the original movie, and modern twists. It's pure, chaotic, old-school comedy.

'Jurassic World: Rebirth' Early Reactions Are Very Telling
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The new entry in the "Jurassic World" franchise has brought in some heavy hitters. On top of A-list talent leading the cast like Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, the new franchise chapter, also boasts action director Gareth Edwards. More news: 'King of the Hill' Revival First Clip Confirms Another Original Character's Return The film takes a dramatic turn into showcasing an island where more experimental dinosaurs live. The initial trailers not only showcased these new dinosaurs, but the internet was set ablaze by a giant T Rex that looked like it had been mashed together with a Xenomorph from the "Aliens" franchise. Either way, the new film is set for a theatrical release on July 2, and the early reviews are starting to pour in. #JurassicWorldRebirth hits every note you'd want a Jurassic film to hit, with engaging characters, a great score, great cinematography direction and incredible VFX work by @ILMVFX . Hats off #GarethEdwards @LeDoctor I already want to see it again. — Mark Newbold (@Prefect_Timing) June 20, 2025 Mark Newbold states: "#JurassicWorldRebirthhits every note you'd want a Jurassic film to hit, with engaging characters, a great score, great cinematography direction and incredible VFX work by @ILMVFX.

I was intrigued. But the movie just feels blah. It's a string of forgettable scenes that go nowhere. One river sequence stood out, but the rest blurs together. The characters are dull, there's zero chemistry, and I found myself rooting for the dinosaurs just to feel something. The story plays out like a studio checklist—nothing gets explored, and there's no heart in it. Some of the dino designs bring back that old monster-movie vibe, but the film barely uses them. It just ends, with no momentum, no setup, and no excitement for where this franchise is headed. It's not as awful as the last few, but still feels empty." #JurassicWorldRebirth throws so much at you as you enter the Dino-riddled seas & lands that the tension sits with you throughout.

Gareth Edwards knew just how to bring a Jurassic story to screen. I adore the practical movie magic of the original film. Over the years, the franchise has embraced more CGI. Rebirth is indeed loaded with effects-heavy set pieces, but those digital elements work especially well here because Edwards knew exactly how to ensure the film still had that reach-out-and-touch-it texture — particularly by choosing to film in real locations and shoot the movie on film." I've just watched Jurassic World Rebirth, and I have 2 things to say: 1) It's not good 2) Scarlett Johansson has never looked better — Seth (@sethsfilmreview) June 19, 2025 Seth has a far simpler review: "I've just watched Jurassic World Rebirth, and I have 2 things to say: 1) It's not good 2) Scarlett Johansson has never looked better." #JurassicWorldRebirth is a fantastic addition to the franchise, delivering everything you want and MORE! From the action to the cinematography, Gareth Edwards knows how to craft a great dinosaur movie. This one captures the spirit of the originals and pulls you right back in. — Draven (@DravenReacts) June 19, 2025 Draven Reacts says: "#JurassicWorldRebirth is a fantastic addition to the franchise, delivering everything you want and MORE!

One thing is certain from the early reviews, they all seem to be down the middle in terms of showcasing critics that absolutely loved the entry, or those who simply did not care for it. "Jurassic World: Rebirth" being made was not a shock at all, considering the last three entries made well over $3 billion at the box office collectively. However, time will tell if the franchise will continue. More entertainment: Smash Hit Series 'The Pitt' Gets Major Season 2 Update For more movie news, head to Newsweek.

He replied: "I can't talk about it," before being swiftly ushered away by his entourage. The Sun revealed in March that Aarron had been formerly offered the role and James Bond bosses were waiting for his decision.

'As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.'

Aaron, who is from High Wycombe, Bucks, secretly screen tested for Bond movie supremo Barbara Broccoli at Pinewood Studios in 2022. When asked earlier this year whether he would step into Bond's shoes, Aaron said: 'I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. "I take it as a great compliment.' Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey was also questioned about the iconic role this week. Jonathan joined Scott Mills on Radio 2 to celebrate the release of the Jurassic World Rebirth film, which stars the actor. And they ended up discussing rumours that Jonathan is a contender to be the next James Bond. Scott said to the star: 'It's an obvious question, but I'm going to be honest with you, it's the one people are asking the most, so I'm going to ask it. Do you, or would you be, James Bond?' Jonathan playfully replied with: 'Scott, how dare you!' to which Scott clarified: 'It's not me, it's the listeners and there are thousands.' The actor managed to somehow sidestep the question, responding: 'I mean, that's an amazingly flattering ask. I could imagine you as James Bond, Scott.' And Scott was quick to pick up on the change of direction, saying: 'Well, swerved, because that's not true. But, I mean, we know you could do it, but you'd want to do it?' Jonathan seemed to be more open to replying, as he said: 'I don't...I am not sure... I don't know. I really, honestly, I mean... it would be hard to say no, but I know that it's going to be exciting whatever they do.' Leaving Scott to reply: 'Thank you for answering that, because it was the most popular question. And I'll be honest, I almost ran away from you a bit like you did with Steven Spielberg, before I asked, but I'm glad I did. Thank you very much.' 6 Aaron and Brad Pitt starred together in 2022's Bullet Train Credit: Rex Features 6 He then landed the role of Quicksilver in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Credit: Rex Features

Scarlett Johansson Compares Jurassic World Rebirth to Spielberg's Classic
At the world premiere of Jurassic World: Rebirth, Scarlett Johansson spoke about how the movie pays tribute to Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park legacy. The actress also drew a comparison between the two films. Now, many are curious to know what Johansson said. On Tuesday, Scarlett Johansson walked the green carpet at the world premiere of Jurassic World: Rebirth in London. Joined by co-stars Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, and Ed Skrein, Johansson celebrated the launch of the latest chapter in the Jurassic franchise at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. Director Gareth Edwards, screenwriter David Koepp, who also wrote the original Jurassic Park, and producer Frank Marshall were also in attendance. Dressed in a bold pink gown, Johansson spoke enthusiastically about the film. She called it a tribute to Steven Spielberg's early Jurassic movies. Speaking to reporters, she said, 'So I think it really is a love letter to Steven's work. Fans of the Jurassic universe can expect to really feel the DNA of the original 'Jurassic Park' in this film.' (via Variety) Previously, Johansson has been vocal about her enthusiasm for joining the Jurassic universe. In a previous interview with ComicBook, she shared that the original Jurassic Park was one of the first movies she ever saw in theaters. She said, 'It was life-changing. It was mind-blowing. I cannot express how excited I am. The script is so incredible.' Jurassic World: Rebirth is set five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion. With Earth's ecosystem now largely uninhabitable for dinosaurs, the few that remain have retreated to isolated regions. Among them are three dinosaurs whose genetic material could be the key to developing a life-saving drug. Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, an operative recruited by a pharmaceutical company to lead a high-stakes mission. She is joined by paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis, played by Jonathan Bailey, and team leader Duncan Kincaid, portrayed by Mahershala Ali.
