The Lost Paradise of Dilmun (LPOD) Water Park this weekend brings to you a mix of sci-fi action and a romcom as part of their 'Dive In Movies' extravaganza.

In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, on Friday, Admiral Kirk is a Starfleet Academy instructor, while Captain Spock serves as a cadet training officer, while being in command of the USS Enterprise.

Meanwhile, scientists aboard Space Station Regula I are conducting the Project Genesis experiment, and the USS Reliant is assigned to the Genesis project.

While surveying a lifeless planet in the Ceti Alpha star system, Cmdr. Chekov and Capt. Clark Terrell beam down to the sixth planet, and find a shocking discovery, in which cargo containers are located.

Unknown to the Reliant crew was that the cargo containers housed refugees from the Eugenics Wars of 1990s Earth, with Khan Noonian Singh in charge. Khan later revealed that Ceti Alpha VI exploded, and shifted the orbit of the fifth planet as a Mars-like haven. Khan manages to hijack the Reliant, and steals the Genesis Device.

No Reservations, on Saturday, stars Catherine Zeta-Jones as Kate a terrific chef at a Manhattan restaurant, sent to therapy by the restaurant owner because she is cold, unyielding, rule-bound, and a pain in the neck.

Kate's world is flipped over when her only sister dies and her 10-year-old niece, Zoe, comes to live with her. As Kate struggles to be a parent to a grief-stricken child, the one world she used to control - the restaurant kitchen - is changed utterly by the restaurant's hiring a second chef, the loose, operatic, Italian-trained Nick, who claims it's an honour to work in Kate's kitchen but who she suspects wants to replace her. Can the music of Puccini and the taste of good pasta soften Kate's heart?

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

The 7pm screenings are included in the entrance price of BD14 for adults and BD5 for children less than 1.2 metres tall. Visit www.LPODwaterpark.com for more details.
