From the latest instalment of the action-packed Rambo franchise and the nail-biting sequel to the Pennywise-starring clown horror flick It to the guaranteed kid-friendly Abominable and slapstick comedic antics of Stuber, here are the hottest September movies to hit Hong Kong’s cinemas next month.
Abominable – 26 Sept
If your little ones have the back-to-school blues, perhaps a trip to watch Abominable, the computer-animated adventure flick from DreamWorks, may be just the thing to cheer them up. Follow the epic escapades of teenager Yi and Everest, her magical yeti friend, as they embark on an action-packed quest to reunite him with his family at the world’s highest point.
Stuber – 19 Sept
Action, comedy and an epic bromance – these are the key ingredients that promise to transform Stuber into a truly hilarious buddy adventure. Starring Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick, Silicon Valley) as a sub-par Uber driver who is forced to chauffeur an off-the-rails LA cop (Dave Bautista of Guardians of the Galaxy fame) hell-bent on revenge against a notorious drug lord, ridiculous shenanigans unfold as he seeks his first-ever five-star rating.
Ad Astra – 19 Sept
Sci-fi flick Ad Astra, which debuted at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month, is one of our most anticipated September movies. With an all-star cast led by Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and Liv Tyler, join astronaut Roy McBride (Pitt) as he ventures forth into the Final Frontier to search for his missing father, while simultaneously trying to ward off a threat to human existence.
Rambo: Last Blood – 19 Sept
Sylvester Stallone reprises his iconic role as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo in the fifth instalment of his wildly successful Rambo franchise. Expect all the jaw-dropping action sequences and gratuitous violence that made the previous movies such cult hits as Rambo travels to Mexico to save his friend’s daughter from the clutches of an evil Mexican cartel.
It Chapter Two – 12 Sept
When the now-classic horror film It first hit the big screen in 2017, it ensured that millions of viewers around the world developed a healthy dose of coulrophobia (fear of clowns). Now, It Chapter Two, one of the most eagerly-awaited September movies on our list, looks set to revive those fears as actor Bill Skarsgard reprises his eerie role as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, who reappears 27 years after the events of the first instalment to terrorise the town of Derry once more.
