Aliens, Bank Robbers and Bruno, Oh My!

April 29, 2009 -- The weather is quickly improving outside, allergies are sprouting up and New York hit 90 degrees in April. What does all this mean? Summer is right around the corner.

It also means that Hollywood is about to unload blockbuster after blockbuster on the movie-going public.

Movie critic for Rolling Stone, and anchor of "Popcorn" on ABC News Now, Peter Travers takes a look at some of the biggest movies coming out this summer, and has some words on what's worth seeing, what's not worth your time and what you might still be talking about come Oscar season.

'Star Trek' (Paramount) May 8

JJ Abrams ("Lost") offers an origin story to the characters that made Star Trek famous. Chris Pine ("Bottle Shock") and Zachary Quinto ("Heroes") play the young James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock respectively.

'Angels & Demons' (Columbia) May 15

Dan Brown's sequel/prequel to "The Da Vinci Code," brings Tom Hanks back in the role of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, this time facing off against the dreaded and mysterious Illuminati. Says Travers, "This is a sequel to 'The Da Vinci Code.' It was a terrible movie, no suspense, no sex appeal. It just sounds like more of the same."

'Terminator Salvation' (Warner Bros) May 22

Christian Bale is John Connor, the futuristic hero who may be able to save mankind from the scourge of the Terminator. Six years after the last Terminator movie was made, this one does not feature the Governator.

'Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian' (Fox) May 22

This is a sequel to the 2006 movie, which followed a night watchman at the Museum of American History as the exhibits came to life. The original had Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais and Owen Wilson among others. "If Ben Stiller went back to do 'Tropic Thunder 2,' I'd be happy and cheery. This is just draggy. ... I don't care," Travers said.

'Up' (Disney) May 29

The entry from Disney in the animated category this year (after last year's "Wall-E"), "Up" is about a 78-year-old retiree who decides to fly his house away by attaching a load of helium balloons. Along for the ride is a stowaway 8-year-old wilderness scout. Travers says, "One word: Pixar. This is the ninth Pxar movie and name the bad one. You can't."
