The weather is getting colder, Starbucks is stocking up on Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and the kids are in school … it must be fall! Summer 2024 is soon to be over, but that doesn’t mean there will be a lack of content to watch at home.

Just look at HBO and Max in September. The big debut is The Penguin, a spinoff of the hugely popular 2022 film The Batman starring Colin Farrell as the famous DC villain. There’s also the final season of the brilliant My Brilliant Friend, and the streaming debuts of Civil War, The Boy and the Heron, and I Saw the TV Glow. With all these great movies and TV shows, who has time for work?

The best sci-fi movies on Max right now
The cast of Y2K looks worried.

Max doesn't always give science fiction fans many reasons to celebrate, but it's worth noting that the two latest additions to the best sci-fi movies on Max are both charting among the top 10 films on the platform.
Y2K, which hit theaters earlier this year, is Max's No. 1 movie at the moment and features Snow White actress Rachel Zegler in the leading role of a story set during the end of the world as we know it. The Terminator's presence in the top 10 is more of a surprise given its age. This isn't even the first time it's been on Max, but it holds up remarkably well for a 41-year-old movie. You can catch these films and the rest of the best sci-fi movies on Max below.
In need of some more streaming recommendations? We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Max, the best shows on Max, and what's new on HBO and Max that are worth looking through.

Year: 2025
Runtime: 1 hour, 33 minutes

What’s new on HBO and Max in April 2025
Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us season 2.

HBO and Max have unexpectedly added a very large selection of classic movies in April. That's going to appeal primarily to the film buffs in your life. There are a handful of recent indie flicks coming as well, including the Nicole Kidman erotic thriller Babygirl and the sci-fi comedy Y2K, which imagines what would have happened if the Y2K bug had been as serious as everyone feared it would be.

The Last of Us season 2 and Hacks season 4 are also giving HBO and Max's original programming a strong shot in the arm for the month. But don't sleep on The Rehearsal season 2 or Adult Swim's new anime sensation, Lazarus. For younger viewers, Gremlins: The Wild Batch is returning with a new batch of episodes from Season 2B.

If you're looking for a great action movie available on the service, we've got you covered. We've pulled together three of the best action movies you should watch on the streaming service, no matter what you're looking for:
