Max is back with a vengeance and is once again pulling out all of the stops to prove why it's still one of the best streaming services. Just like last month's standout Babygirl (2024), there's one new movie with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes that is the clear one-to-watch out of everything new on Max in May 2025.

That's why we regularly comb through Max's top 10 list of most-watched movies to see which ones are actually worth the hype. Leading the pack this week is an erotic thriller led by Nicole Kidman, one of the best sci-fi thrillers of the year so far, and a campy teen apocalypse comedy horror.
