Dinosaur lovers, unite! It's your time again.

This weekend, "Jurassic World" mainstays Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard join OG "Jurassic Park" stars Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum in the latest chapter of the dino-stomping blockbuster franchise. (Let's see Tom Cruise's Maverick try and outfly a Pterodactyl.)

In addition, A-list basketball fan Adam Sandler shares the screen with Queen Latifah and a bunch of real NBA players in a Netflix hoops dramedy while Mike Colter ("Luke Cage") plays a 1970s trucker in a drama based on a true story.

Here's a guide to new movies that will satisfy every cinematic taste, plus some noteworthy theatrical films making their on-demand debuts:

If you live for rampaging big-screen creatures: 'Jurassic World Dominion'

The current "Jurassic" trilogy finishes in solid style, with genetic science out the wazoo and a horde of cool new dinos, from killer Atrociraptors to the big bad Giganotosaurus. (And naturally, mad respect to the returning T. rex.) There are some humans, too, as Grady and Howard's heroes go on a rescue mission to find their kidnapped adopted clone daughter while Dern, Neill and Goldblum's old-school types dig into the shady dealings of a tech company. And while the fantastic beasts will bring you in, DeWanda Wise's steely new cargo pilot steals the show.

If you love Adam Sandler's serious side: 'Hustle'

Sandler balances a sharp sense of humor and some of that "Uncut Gems"-level drama as Stanley Sugerman, a former college star who now travels the world for the Philadelphia 76ers seeking fast food and future NBA stars. Hoping to snag a coaching gig, Stanley ventures to Spain and finds talented Bo Cruz (Juancho Hernangómez) on the streetball courts. The youngster boasts a checkered past and hot temper, though, and when Stanley brings him to America, they have to work together for each other's success in a crowd-pleasing narrative filled with past and present pro hoopsters.

Theo Taplitz stars as an awkward teen who risks being held back in school if he doesn't pass a sexuality requirement in the coming-of-age film "Wyrm."

If you miss the teen quirkiness of 'Napoleon Dynamite': 'Wyrm'

The clever 1990s-set coming-of-age comedy features an alternate-reality bent and an amusing relatability for anyone who's survived puberty. Theo Taplitz stars as the awkward, dinosaur-loving title teen at the risk of being held back in school if he doesn't pass his Level 1 sexuality requirement and have his first kiss. Wyrm has an embarrassing electronic collar around his neck that won't get "popped off" unless he smooches someone, but he also faces a changing relationship with his sister and growing affection for an enigmatic classmate.

Mike Colter plays an ambitious trucker who takes on an oil company and Safiya Fredericks is his concerned wife in the 1970s true-life drama "I'm Charlie Walker."

If you need a retro true-life tale: 'I'm Charlie Walker'

Colter plays the Black trucking entrepreneur of the title, who in 1971 used his smarts to first get a contract to help clean up a huge oil spill in San Francisco and then become a charismatic public face when dealing with the shady company responsible for the environmental disaster. It's pretty straightforward and hum-drum as biopics go, though Colter nicely utilizes his considerable charisma and physical presence as a self-confident man forced to deal with racism and crooked businessmen.

Jacky Lai plays a crime lord's wife who goes into witness protection – and is targeted by killers – when she decides to turn state's evidence in "Eraser: Reborn."

If you dig reboots of iffy 1990s thrillers: 'Eraser: Reborn'

The 1996 film "Eraser" is one of the more atrocious entries in Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic action oeuvre, and this new update is only marginally better. Dominic Sherwood stars as a U.S. marshal who "erases" people as part of witness protection, though when he takes a crime lord's wife (Jacky Lai) to South Africa for safekeeping after she decides to turn state's evidence against an underworld syndicate, things get crazy dicey. Good for those who need faked deaths, a lot of double-crossing and a ticked-off rhino in their lives.
