It would be too much to call Nope a bad movie. Jordan Peele’s latest sci-fi horror mystery thriller stars returning collaborator Daniel Kaluuya ( Get Out) and Keke Palmer ( Alice) as two siblings who, after discovering something miraculous and horrifying above the skies of their family’s California horse ranch, work together to capture bona fide proof of extraterrestrial life. Where to watch: Available to rent for $19.99 on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu Image: Universal Pictures It’s overwhelming, immersive, thrilling action filmmaking.Ģ1 hard-hitting action movies on Netflix from around the world Nope The sound design and music (credited to the unimaginable power trio of Hans Zimmer, Harold Faltermeyer, and Lady Gaga, with Lorne Balfe on production) are huge. The compositions are sharp, the editing propulsive. The sheer veracity of the footage, much of it captured by the cast in-cockpit as they physically strain through high-G maneuvers, will - sorry, there’s no other way to put it - take your breath away. Kosinski lacks Tony Scott’s stylistic eye (though he can crib Scott’s sultry look well enough when he needs to), but he’s a formidable technician and a careful architect. The aerial action sequences, shot practically with real aircraft, are astounding. Director Joseph Kosinski ( Oblivion, Tron: Legacy) teamed up with Tom Cruise to revitalize the old franchise, and made planes (and theatrical movies) cool again. One of the best movies of the year, Top Gun: Maverick has been a smash box office success, with sustained interest in theatergoing audiences not seen in years. Where to watch: Available to rent for $19.99 on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu Image: Paramount Pictures Here’s everything new you can watch at home this weekend.
