Not all movies are intended to play on the largest available screens, but that has never prevented Hollywood Studios from trying to align as many IMAX theaters as possible for its main releases. The true proof of a great imax movie is not whether it has the theaters; It is whether the film can completely use the older canvas and become more than an average -looking movie on a larger screen.
Looking towards the rest of this year, there are seven 2025 films that we cannot wait to see in Imax. Three of them will leave in July since summer tends to have the big box office hits. But our choice for number 1 is approaching at the end of 2025. When you consider the history of the film director, it is easy to see why we believe it will be the best IMAX film of the year.
7. Evil: Forever
Release date: November 21
Almost everyone knew that the Wicked The adaptation was going to be great, but who could have predicted that he would get $ 717.9 million worldwide and become one of the main box office successes of the year? This Oz wizard Broadway Prequel had dazzling images that filled the screen when telling the story of the future evil witch of the West, Elphaba Thropp (Cynthia Erivo), and its unlikely friendship with Glinda Upland (Ariana Grande).
Chu Evil: ForeverThat easily makes one of the most anticipated IMAX titles of 2025. If Chu and his collaborators could go big in the first film, then they will challenge gravity once again for the sequel.
6. The fantastic four: first steps
Release date: July 25
There are three Marvel Studios films in 2025, and there is no offense to Captain America: Brave New World and Good heavensbut The Fantastic Four: First Steps It is the one that excites us, although there has not been a trailer yet. Everything we know about this film suggests that it will take place in its own MCU corner with a retro-fouturist version of the 1960s and the first real representation of the adversary that the planet of Fantastic Four, Galactus (Ralph Ineson) eats. Reaching Julia Garner as a silver surfer has been controversial among some fans, but we are eager to see how she looks on the screen.
The fantastic four in the comics have to do with science fiction adventures that go beyond the standard superhero rate, and this film also has a great cast, which includes Moss-Bachrach. Mark my words: this will be the Marvel movie to see in 2025.
5. Jurassic World Rebirth
Release date: July 2
Rogue One: A Star Wars story It is one of the best Star Wars films of the Disney era of Lucasfilm, and the director of that film, Gareth Edwards, is making the leap to another science fiction franchise with Jurassic World Renaissance. Edwards is bringing an infernal cast for this film with Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey and Rupert Friend in the main roles.
Until now, Universal has not shared any extensive look at this film, but few things play better on IMAX screens than CGI dinosaurs that attacked humans who were silly enough to approach them. The details of the story for the film are also scarce, but we know that it takes place five years later Domain of the Jurassic WorldAnd the world is no longer very cozy for dinosaurs.
4. Sinners
Release date: April 18
Sinners It is the choice of dark horse for this list, but Ryan Coogler – Marvel’s director Black Panther Movies: This film filmed with IMAX cameras, so we expect some surprising images in this period of period horror.
Michael B. Jordan leads the cast in a double role when the twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who somehow end up fighting for their lives against vampires, including a jet of blood called Mary (Hailee Steinfeld). Many modern IMAX films are related to science fiction or superheroes. It is refreshing to see a horror movie take advantage of the medium.
3. Superman
Release date: July 11
In James Gunn we trust. Even during the problematic period of Marvel Studios, the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – And the two films that came before, showed that he was a teacher to marry show with the emotional stories that affect. That is exactly the approach that Superman You need to take.
This is a completely new start for live Action DC movies, with a new Superman, played by David Korenswet – A new lois lane (Rachel Brosnahan), and a world of superheroes from the beginning. This film even has the live action debut of the Superman Superman, Krypto. Of all the 2025 superhero movies, this is what we hope to raise to the top when it reaches the IMAX screens.
2. Mission: Impossible – The final calculation
Release date: May 23
In case you have not noticed, the combination of the writer and director Christopher Mcquarrie and Tom Cruise has transformed the last three missions: impossible films in high -caliber action films that are practically events in themselves. Cruise even insists on filming several of the most dangerous acrobatics, which is one of the reasons why these films look so good on the biggest screens.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning It is supposedly the last time for Ethan Hunt de Cruise while looking for a way to neutralize the AI known as the entity. He has this to be amazing in IMAX, because Mcquarrie and Cruise have always been overcome before. And we hope that the story will be repeated in 2025.
1. Avatar: fire and ash
Release date: December 19
Surely you didn’t forget James Cameron’s Avatar: fire and ashThe third movie of his Avatar series. If you have done it, it is probably because Avatar: The Water Road It came out just over two years ago, an eternity for a franchise. Not everyone loves the stories of Avatar’s films, but few could argue against the beautifully represented images that cameron and their special effects that artists give life to the screen. His vision of Pandora is a very convincing alien world, and we would return to the biggest IMax screens just to appreciate those details.
Cameron is also one of the few filmmakers who effectively uses the 3D effects without sliding in shots and trick characteristics. Bet against Cameron at your risk. Between the first two Avatar films and TitanicCameron has three of the most relapsed films of all time. Yeah Fire and ash The trend of the impressive images of Cameron continues, so we hope that this film is also a monster success.
