Spring may have just arrived, but I’ve already got my eye on some of the geekiest 2013 summer movies. With every trailer and movie poster I see, I’m getting more and more excited for several of them, so I’ve put together a list of my top 5 must-see geek summer movies.
Some of the 2013 summer movies will get put on the “wait to see it on DVD” list, but these films won’t. These are movies I plan to give my hard-earned dollars to go see them in the theater. Because I want that big screen experience. And because I’m not waiting until the Fall (or later) to see them. No way.
Now, choosing which one of these five I’m most excited for is hard. I’m leaning towards World War Z, but the others are making it hard to make an official decision. So, rather than list this in order of my favorites, I’ve listed them in order of their theatrical release dates. Enjoy these trailers – I know I am.
