Going to the movie theater over the Fourth of July weekend is practically an American tradition. The weather heating up is nature's way of signaling that you need to get inside a gigantic, air-conditioned space with a bunch of other people. This year, there are a handful of exciting movies opening just in time, in addition to a ton of movies that have been in theaters for weeks. Haven't had time to catch Jurassic World yet? Your chance is here! Take a look ahead to find out what you should see, who you should take with you, and who you should definitely leave behind.
