With the summer holidays almost upon us, there's an extensive variety of exciting big-screen releases in Cineworld to savour. From superhero epics to nostalgic family dramas, we've got all bases covered. Scroll down to find out what's on and when.
1. Minions: The Rise of Gru (on release now)
Those maniacal minions and their fearless leader, the infamous Gru, are back to cause more hilarious big-screen chaos. The story this time picks up with Gru's (Steve Carell) formative years in the 1970s as he attempts to join the Vicious 6 villainous collective. Expect retro stylings, slapstick and oodles of the minions' famous nonsense language in this sequel to the blockbusting Minions movie, itself an extension of the smash-hit Despicable Me series.
Don't forget that with a Cineworld family ticket, you can experience the fun of the Minions movie as a unit and be more childish together.

2. Thor: Love and Thunder (released 7 July)
Chris Hemsworth gives himbos a good name with his infectiously good-natured return as the titular God of Thunder. Hemsworth reunites with quirky Thor: Ragnarok filmmaker Taika Waititi, which means we can expect more of the same glorious irreverence, boldly arresting visuals and plenty of sly in-jokes.
This latest Thor movie also makes progressive in-roads by casting the returning Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) as the Mighty Thor. She now wields Mjolnir, so how will Hemsworth's beefy god respond? He'd better decide soon because the fearsome Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) is on the warpath to destroy all deities, setting in motion a thrilling and hilarious adventure.

3. The Railway Children Return (released 15 July)
Released in 1971, the movie adaptation of The Railway Children is cherished by an entire generation of film fans. The sensitive adaptation of E. Nesbit's classic story helped make a star of Jenny Agutter, and the latter is back as Roberta in this nostalgic sequel.
A new generation of railway children now takes over the storyline as a group of Yorkshire evacuees attempts to help a stranded World War II soldier. No doubt many Cineworlders are set to introduce their own kids to the legacy of this enduring family classic.
