At last, 2015 is upon on us, and with a new year comes new movies! I’d tell you to calm your rapturous cheers of joy, but I also cannot wait for all of the new films that have made for our viewing pleasure. With that in mind, for you — my dear movie lovers — I have compiled a list of movies to get excited about. Here are some of the movies that should be on your must-see list for 2015.
For those interested in dystopian/end-of-the-world stories:
Insurgent, the sequel to the adaptation of Veronica Roth’s Divergent: Tris (Shailene Woodley) continues her fight against her corrupt government in this futuristic dystopian thriller.

In The Hunger Games: Mockinjay Part 2, the battle between Katniss and the Capitol will come to an exhilarating close. Just a tip, you might want to bring tissues.
(Trailer not yet available.)
The sequel to James Dashner’s The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials follows the Gladers, who have recently escaped the Maze and must face a new set of challenges in a world that is plagued by solar flares and diseases.
(Trailer not yet available.)
Not quite so dystopian, the apocalyptic thriller San Andreas is the story of a rescue chopper pilot who travels across California to find his daughter after a giant earthquake is caused by the San Andreas Fault.

If you were not satisfied the first time and want a remake:
Disney is making a live-action version of Cinderella, starring Richard Madden (Robb Stark from Game of Thrones) as Prince Charming.

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens further delves into George Lucas’ world, taking place thirty years after the last film in the original Star Wars trilogy, Return of the Jedi.

Jurassic World takes place twenty-two years after the incidents – to put it lightly – of Jurassic Park. With visitor rates declining, a new attraction is created, which backfires horribly. You would think that after three movies, they would have learned that dinosaurs do not mesh well with theme parks.
