From a new Disney nature documentary to a survival action thriller starring Charlize Theron, watch these new movies at home the weekend of April 24, 2026, for free or via VOD.
Summer at the movies used to mean going to theater and watching the biggest movies ever made while eating the biggest bucket of popcorn ever imagined by mankind. For many, that remains a beloved tradition.
Netflix typically honors that tradition by debuting some of their largest productions of the year during the summer; you just have to provide your own ungodly large popcorn at home. 2025 is no e
“This is a movie that strains at the leash of the possible, a movie of great visionary wonders.” That lovely sentence concluded Roger Ebert’s 1985 review of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Thirty years later, Mad Max is finally back in a new sequel, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Ebert’s words feel truer than ever. Fury Road is an incredible achievement, one that strains so hard at the leash of the possible that it eventually breaks free and barrels headlong into the realm of insane genius. Forget Max Rockatansky; director George Miller, the guy who co-conceived and shot this gorgeous, glorious lunacy, is the true madman here. And the true hero for having pulled it off.
For me, May 15th can't get here soon enough because that's the day "Mad Max: Fury Road" is released in theaters nationwide. Growing up, one of my favorite movies was Mel Gibson's "The Road Warrior" and this relaunch looks beautifully chaotic.
