Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, July 11
Trevor is a science professor with radical theories and many crazy ideas. While backpacking across Iceland
with his nephew Sean, the two explorers find a cave that leads them deep down into the bowels of the planet.
There, they discover a fantastic and dangerous lost world. They even meet dinosaurs and many animals that
have disappeared from the earth.
However, the burst of a volcano causes the temperature to rise. They have to make a bravery escape before
the heat and other dangers can beat them.
Space Chimps, July 18
Ham III is not an ordinary chimp (黑猩猩). He is the grandson of the first chimpanzee in space. When a
NASA probe (探测器) disappears into a galaxy (星系), Ham III is recruited (招募) to help bring back the craft.
But Ham is a free-spirited performer who is more interested in having fun than stepping into grandpa's shoes.
But the lazy chimp does become a hero at last. He learns the true meaning of courage as he and his workmates
go to a lot of trouble to save the peaceful people of a distant planet from an evil king.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, August 8
Based on Ann Brashares' best-selling series of novels, four girls-Tibby, Carmen, Bridget and Lena-continue
their journey into adulthood that began with The Sisterhod of the Traveling Pants three years ago. Now, these
lifelong friends embark on (登上) separate paths for their first year of college and the summer beyond. But
they remain in touch by sharing their experiences with each other with honesty and humor. They discover their
individual strengths, fears, talents and capacity for love. Through the choices they make, they come to value
more than the bond (情谊) they share and the power of their friendship.
