HBO Max's forthcoming Hunger Games sequel is a must-watch action movie, slated for release in August 2025.
In the realm of action-packed entertainment, HBO Max offers a wealth of options for viewers seeking thrills and excitement. According to Digital Trends, the top three action movies to watch on the platform in August 2025 are Speed (1994), The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), and Superman Returns (2006).
Speed (1994) is a high-octane thriller that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats from minute one. Keanu Reeves stars as an LAPD officer who finds himself trapped on a bus rigged to explode if it drives under 50 miles an hour. As he races against time to navigate Los Angeles traffic, Reeves delivers a gripping performance alongside Sandra Bullock, creating an undeniable chemistry that adds to the film's tension.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) is the sequel to the original Hunger Games film and follows Katniss Everdeen, played by the remarkable Jennifer Lawrence, as she is forced to return to the deadly arena to compete against other victors of the Hunger Games. This film refines the ideas and cast of the original movie into something entertaining and disturbing, making it a must-watch for fans of the series.
Superman Returns (2006) imagines an Earth where Superman has been gone for several years. When he finally returns, he discovers that the world has moved on without him, but also that Lex Luthor has been carefully planning for his return. This film is a pseudo-sequel to the Christopher Reeve films and features a genuinely arresting plane crash sequence.
Navigating HBO Max to find these action-packed gems can be a challenge, but the effort is well worth it. Each of these films offers a unique take on the action genre, from franchise fare like The Hunger Games to director-driven work like Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), which is also available on the platform.
In conclusion, whether you're a fan of superheroes, high-speed chases, or dystopian futures, HBO Max has something for everyone. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride with Speed (1994), The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), and Superman Returns (2006).
