In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. In the last six months, we've seen pretty good films and major blockbusters such as Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Pitch Perfect 2, etc.

In the next few months to come, expect more of such box-office hits, as well as highly-anticipated local films!

Check out our list of 15 movies to look forward to in the 2nd half of 2015!

(Jurassic World, Minions, Terminator Genisys)

• Jurassic World
  11 Jun
  

The last time you were able to watch a Jurassic Park movie in the theatres was 2001. More than 10 years later, we get to relive the prehistoric catastrophe in Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World! This has got to be one of the most highly-anticipated movie of 2015!

• Minions
  18 Jun

Bob, Stuart and Kevin, together with hundreds of their kind are back in Minions to hunt for a new villain. These gibberish-speaking groupies are the funniest and cutest thing that popped up these few years. With this spinoff hitting theatres in a few week’s time, we’re expecting a minions frenzy!

• Terminator Genisys
  25 Jun

He’s back. Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in this fifth instalment in the Terminator series. He reprises his role as the eponymous character alongside newcomers Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, Lee Byung-hun, Matt Smith and J. K. Simmons.

(Marvel's Ant-Man, 7 Letters, Mission: Impossible - Rouge Nation)

• Marvel’s Ant-Man
  16 Jul

A new super hero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes to the big screens next month! It’s the first time we are introduced to this ant-size legend in the MCU on film, so there is a lot to look forward and expect in Marvel’s Ant-man!

• 7 Letters
  Jul 2015
  

7 Singaporean filmmakers; 1 love story for Singapore. Directors Royston Tan, Jack Neo, Eric Khoo, Kelvin Tong, K Rajagopal, Tan Pin Pin and Boo Junfeng will create a one-of-a-kind anthology to celebrate Singapore’s 50th birthday.

Oh, and it’ll be the first film to premiere at the refurbished Capitol Theatre!

• Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
  30 Jul
  

In the latest instalment of the action blockbuster, super agent Ethan (Tom Cruise) and his team take on their most impossible mission yet - to eradicate an international syndicate. Christopher McQuarrie writes and directs the latest chapter.

Watch some of the cool gravity-defying stunts in the new trailer that debuted yesterday!

(1965, Fantastic Four, Pixels)

• 1965
  30 Jul

The year 1965 holds a special meaning to many Singaporeans - the day we gained independence as a nation and how we are fondly reminded of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew. The movie is directed by Randy Ang and stars Joanne Pei, Sezairi Sezali, Deanna Yusoff, James Seah and Qi Yuwu.

• Fantastic Four
  6 Aug

The Fantastic Four reboot didn’t come easy. Despite the numerous backlash on the casting and new direction of the movie, 20th Century Fox promises the film to be one of the biggest films of 2015.

• Pixels
  13 Aug

Artificial intelligence robots taking over the world? Check. Aliens from outer space invading Earth? Check. Many of the same themes have been overused in Hollywood, but Pixels gives a fresh take on a bunch of classic game character seeking revenge on humankind.

(Disney/Pixar's Inside Out, Hitman: Agent 47, Maze Runner: Scorch Trails)

• Disney/Pixar's Inside Out
  20 Aug

There is much buzz going around about this animation film - many who have seen it, loved it and some even calling it an ‘Oscar’ contender. With voices from Amy Poehler, Diane Lane, Mindy Kaling, Kyle McLachlan and Bill Hader, our ‘excitement emotion’ inside us is acting up real bad.

• Hitman: Agent 47
  27 Aug
  

Partly why this movie makes it to our top 15 list is because you will be able to see parts of Singapore’s skyline (and loads of blue taxis) featured in this action-thriller! Yup! Lead actors Rupert Friend and Zachary Quinto, together with the crew came to Singapore last year to film this movie.

• Maze Runner: Scorch Trials
  17 Sep

The Scorch Trials picks up where The Maze Runner left off. The surviving Glader gang thought they escaped the Maze for good to realise that they are thrown into a desert which is just as scary and a whole lot hotter.

(Spectre, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2,  Star Wars: The Force Awakens)

• Spectre
  6 Nov

The eagerly-awaited James Bond movie franchise ‘Spectre’ is set to release worldwide this November! Daniel Craig returns as agent 007, sets on a quest to uncover a sinister organisation while M (Ralph Fiennes) battles political forces that want to shut down the British secret service.

• The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2
  19 Nov
  

Part 1 ended with a cliffhanger, which pretty much left us wanting more of Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) fighting against the Capitol, and her ultimate decision of whether to choose Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) or Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth).

• Star Wars: The Force Awakens
  17 Dec

Need we say more? This. This will probably be one of the best movies to end the year with.
