3 Best HBO Max Movies to Watch This Weekend (June 26-28)
HBO Max wants you to keep subscribing to its premium streaming service.
That's why Warner Bros. scheduled its best content for the last half of the month, with House of the Dragon season 3 debuting and Larry David's new original series dropping this weekend.
It also means HBO Max has some new movies for you to watch, and Watch With Us is recommending only the best of them to stream.
You might have missed these films when they played in movie theaters this past spring, but now that Undertone and How to Make a Killing with Glen Powell are available on the streamer, you can catch two under-the-radar flicks that deserve attention.
The last movie we recommend is an ‘80s throwback, the sci-fi mystery Brainstorm, which is best known as the final movie Natalie Wood made before her untimely death.
‘Undertone' (2026)
What does it feel or look like when you die? That question has always fascinated Mr. Michael Brace (Christopher Walken), and he thinks he can finally answer it. The company that he works for is developing a device that can record your thoughts and feelings at any moment, and he thinks he can use it to see if there really is an afterlife. But the device is powerful enough for the government to want it, and soon, Michael and his coworkers realize they've developed a powerful tool that, in the wrong hands, could bring only misery and death.
Brainstorm is directed by Douglas Trumbull, the special effects master who created a lot of those trippy images in 2001: A Space Odyssey and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. That's why Brainstorm's visuals are its best asset – the film's depiction of memories and near-death experiences is sensational and makes you share Michael's enthusiasm to explore the unknown. The film's story is a little underbaked, but that doesn't matter when a film is this visually bold and unforgettable.
Brainstorm is streaming on HBO Max.
