Where to even start? You could write pages on all this (not that I’m going to).
First up, Hulu will be the port of call for Star Trek fans, as no less than six classics of the franchise will be newly available there. The service will also be of interest to followers of Tom Cruise, with Top Gun and Rain Man – two of his most popular 80s movies – arriving the same day. Somewhat confusingly, however, both movies will also be available on Amazon Prime (an aberration you probably noticed before I did).
Moving to HBO Max, who arguably have the most impressive line-up, one will find some real genre giants. Blade Runner, The Dark Knight, The Fugitive… you never need an excuse to rewatch any of those. There are more age-friendly films, too, like Elf and Kung Fu Panda, which are commendable family comedies. And over on Netflix, meanwhile, you have the much-anticipated release of The Umbrella Academy season 2, while Disney Plus has finally added Incredibles 2 to the platform.
Tell us, though, are you thinking of checking out any of this weekend’s substantial batch of content? Drop a comment with those you think are most worth watching below.
