Whew!!! 2025 has already been a rollercoaster of a year in the movies and TV sector. The international box office has been hit with a boatload of quality movies, cutting across different genres. From action-packed to romcoms and dramas, there has literally been something for everybody. The cinema has seen fans trooping in week in and week out, watching these new releases on the big screen.
Directors, screenwriters, actors, and even the CGI crew have been on their A-Game, and they are not done. With quite some time left for the year to run out, there are still a lot of hits to expect at the box office. Before these movies make it to the big screen, let’s introduce you to some of 2025’s releases that have already taken the industry by storm.
Superman
Being kind is the new cool right now, and that is all down to the influence brought about by the DC comic book hero Superman. The movie which was released in July was a hit at the International box office. Directed by James Gunn, the movie gave a completely different look at how superheroes are perceived. Superman, being Earth’s strongest man, cared more about people than most humans.
The movie saw David Cornsweet take up the role of Clark Kent, the farmboy from Smallville, Rachel Brosnahan play Lois Lane, and the Amazing Nicholas Hoult play Lex Luthor. The movie has a run time of 2 hours and 9 minutes, and guarantees you will be on the edge of your seat throughout. In terms of the visuals, it was nothing short of amazing. As an added cherry on top, the movie features an amazing soundtrack that will have you in your feels.
One Battle After Another
The phrase “Viva La Revolucion” echoed around the theatre as Leonardo DiCaprio screamed those words at the top of his lungs. One Battle After Another is an epic thriller that follows Leonardo DiCaprio who plays Bob, as he tries to save his daughter Willa from the hands of his old nemesis Colonel Steven L. Lockjaw. The race to rescue his daughter sees him reunite with his ex-revolutionaries from the past.
One Battle After Another is another masterpiece from renowned filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson. The movie also showed the acting prowess of newcomer Chase Infiniti who plays Willa. Other notable names in the cast include Teyana Taylor, Benicio Del Toro, and Regina Hall. One Battle After Another has a run time reaching almost 3 hours, and I can promise you it will fly by so quickly. To describe the movie in a nutshell, I’ll say it is nail-biting, intense, and gritty.
F1 Movie
Motorsport racing makes it to the big screen once again, and this time Formula Racing makes it to the big screen. The movie follows veteran driver Sonny Hayes as he tries to resurrect his F1 career driving for Expensifi APX GP F1 team. Driving alongside rookie driver Joshua Pearce played by Damson Idris who is trying to put himself on a path to F1 supremacy. Over the course of the movie, both drivers soon discover that it takes a team to experience success in Formula 1 rather than individual brilliance.
The F1 movie gives a cinematic take to Formula 1 racing, which is something that hasn’t been done in a while. All the stars of F1 came out in their full force for the movie as top racers like Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz, and even former Team principal of HAAS F1 team Guenther Steiner all had little screen time.
Strap in, put your car in drive mode, and get ready for a sequence of thrilling races, spectacular overtakes, and crashes. If you want more adrenaline and excitement, the F1 movie offers, you can try playing Azurslot for something similar.
Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning
Ethan Hunt’s mission which started back in 1996 as the first ever release of the Mission Impossible series has finally concluded. The Final Reckoning which is the 8th installation of the film series saw Ethan Hunt, played by Tom Cruise come face to face with the consequences of his actions since he accepted his first mission back in 96.
In a battle to save mankind from a rogue AI known as the Entity, Ethan Hunt and his team must put it all on the line, even dancing close to death. Like all of the past Mission Impossible series, the Final Reckoning did not fail to deliver in its action-packed sequence, making it a blockbuster hit of 2025.
