THIS weekend's action at the Lost Paradise of Dilmun Water Park's 'Dive In Movies' extravaganza begins with Transformers 2 which will be screened on Friday followed by Poseidon on Saturday.

The popular 'Dive In' movies were launched last year for visitors to enjoy great family films while also experiencing the rides and picturesque environment.

In the sci-fi thriller Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the week Sam Witwicky starts college, the Decepticons make trouble in Shanghai. A presidential envoy believes it's because the Autobots are around; he wants them gone.

He's wrong: the Decepticons need access to Sam's mind to see some glyphs imprinted there that will lead them to a fragile object that, when inserted in an alien machine hidden in Egypt for centuries, will give them the power to blow out the sun.

Sam, his girlfriend Mikaela, and Sam's parents are in danger. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are Sam's principal protectors. If one of them goes down, what becomes of Sam?

In Saturday's action-thriller, Poseidon, the luxurious cruise liner was hit by a majestic rogue wave flipping it upside down on New Year's night. With help several hours away most of the passengers decide to sit it out.

However, Dylan Johns decides to get off the already sinking ship, by climbing to the hull (now on top). He is joined by Maggie James and her son Conor, Robert Ramsey, his daughter Jennifer and her boyfriend Christian, Elena Morales and Richard Nelson.

Will they all make it out before the ship sinks?

The 7pm screenings are included in the entrance price of BD14 for adults and BD5 for children less than 1.2 metres tall.
