Opening Friday:
“San Andreas” (PG-13): After a massive earthquake strikes the West Coast, California’s only hope of survival is a search and rescue helicopter pilot played by — who else? — Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
“Aloha” (PG-13) Writer-director Cameron Crowe (“Jerry Maguire,” “Almost Famous”) returns with this comedy about a romantic triangle between Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone and Rachel McAdams set in Hawaii.
“Saint Laurent” (R): In this surreal French-language biopic, Gaspard Ulliel (“Hannibal Rising”) plays the iconic fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent from 1967-1976, when he was at his creative and hedonistic peak. Think sex, drugs and haute couture.
