There was no shortage of excitement surrounding the release of a short teaser for Christopher Nolan’s mysterious, upcoming sci-fi film Interstellar late last year, but the brief preview revealed precious little about its plot or tone, leaving many to wonder exactly what the team that brought us Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy had in store for audiences. Thankfully, the first full trailer debuted over the weekend and pulled back the curtain a bit — but only a little bit.

Set to hit theaters November 7, Interstellar follows a group of astronauts who test the limits of space travel by traveling through a newly discovered wormhole. Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey stars in the film, which features an all-star cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, and Topher Grace.

The new trailer focuses on McConaughey’s character, a former engineer and pilot who now appears to be eking out a living as a farmer with a small family. Tasked with heading off into space in search of a potential solution to a global food shortage, McConaughey’s character must decide between his family and humanity’s future on the other side of the wormhole.

Beyond what’s seen in the trailer, there’s little else known about the project — which is an impressive feat in the modern media age, but relatively common with Nolan’s films.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)

A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now

Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
