While one may say that autumn is the ideal season for movies, one may say that summer is the ideal season. Huge franchise films and sequels like Barbie and Oppenheimer have opened in theaters this summer with the goal of becoming blockbusters and attracting the largest audiences. However, Netflix has also embraced the spirit of blockbusters.
After the success of two spring releases, Mother of the Bride and Atlas,Netflix kicks off its own summer movie rush blitz in June. With stars like Glenn Powell, Jessica Alba, Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron among the month’s new releases, June promises to be another month full of big movie stars and names. Want to know which movies are worth watching and which ones you can skip? Now let’s explore Netflix’s June lineup!
Top 6 new Netflix movies
Hit Man
Look! There aren’t any actors as endearing and interesting as Glenn Powell at the moment. Powell has starred in many films and television series over the years, but he really broke through in Top Gun: Maverick and the romantic comedy Anyone But You. With two summertime releases, Twisters and Netflix’s dark comedy hit Man, he hopes to maintain his highs. Powell portrays a professor who masquerades as a hit man to help the police department in the Richard Linklater-directed film, but falls in love with a woman who wants to kill her husband. It will be a huge hit and must watch when it releases on June 7.
Under Paris
Skip! Every summer there seems to be a new shark movie coming out somewhere. The Shallows, a shark film starring Blake Lively, and 47 Meters Down, a collaboration with Mandy Moore and Claire Holt, were both successful. This June, a new shark movie set in Paris will be available on Netflix. The film depicts a shark attack in Seine, Paris, when the city hosts a triathlon competition, coinciding with the Summer Olympics. When Under Paris opens on June 5, avoid it if you’re not a fan of sharks or shark flicks. In any case, the film is in some hot water.
Black Barbie
Look! The Barbie movie year doesn’t end here! A new documentary about the beloved evolution of the Barbie doll has been released by Netflix a year after Barbie made waves on the big screen. Black Barbie traces the progress made by Mattel in the 1980s, as a result of three black women who worked for the firm to introduce Black Barbie. The film explores the importance of inclusion and representation, including how these ideas affect young children playing with dolls. Don’t miss the documentary Black Barbie when it debuts on June 19.
Ultraman: Rising
Look! June is no exception to the rule that Netflix offers new content for families and kids every month. This month, the streamer is also introducing an animated film that’s perfect for family movie night, in addition to the action-packed, amazing summer popcorn blockbuster. In the science fiction animated film Ultraman: Rising, an athlete takes on the persona of Ultraman to save Tokyo from monsters, but creates a monster in the process. If you enjoy stories about pseudo-dads and their pseudo-offspring, don’t miss the heartwarming new adventure movies on June 14 (think Monsters Inc. and The Mandalorian, for example).
Trigger Warning
Look! Now she’s back, Jessica Alba is calling names! In Trigger Warning, the actress plays a Special Forces commando who returns to her small village to discover the truth behind her father’s death and returns to her roots as an action hero. Although the plot of this action-drama sounds like many others, it still feels like a thrilling summer adventure. The influence will be strong, but Alba’s personality will be more powerful. Plus, The Night Agent star Gabriel Basso is in it! On June 21, get ready for an action-packed movie night. Note the trigger warning!
A Family Affair
Skip! Look, if you’re not a fan of romantic comedies, you should definitely skip Family Affair. If not, you should definitely check it out. In the film, Joy King plays a young woman whose mother, Nicole Kidman, begins dating her boss, Zac Efron. It bears some resemblance to the popular romantic comedy The Idea of You, starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzyn on Amazon Prime Video. If you enjoyed that movie, chances are you will get family love. If you didn’t enjoy the last movie, you probably won’t enjoy this one. Whether or not you watch the smash romantic comedy, which is guaranteed to hit theaters on June 28, may have different results.
