5 top new movies to stream this week on Paramount+, Hulu, Peacock and more (Oct. 27-Nov. 2)

For the second week in a row, it’s set to be a thinner slate of new movies with major platforms like Netflix and Prime Video still on the bench. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t new arrivals worthy of your attention, and I’m rounding up the highlights across streaming services.

My top pick this week is “The Dog Stars.” This Ridley Scott-directed post-apocalyptic action-thriller is an uneven ride, but when it works, it’s great. It’s just a shame it lacks consistency across its two-hour runtime.

Other new movies include an intense doc on Paramount+, a surprisingly strong family movie on Peacock featuring those pesky Minions, and an action-thriller on Hulu; this one stars John Travolta and screams 2000s direct-to-DVD movie to me. Your call if that’s a positive or not!

These are the most noteworthy new movies across streaming platforms this week, and be sure to check out our guide to the week’s top new TV shows for more watchlist options.

“Ignore 'The Dog Stars' 40% Rotten Tomatoes score,” those were words of advice from my colleague Malcolm McMillan. Ridley Scott’s new post-apocalyptic action-thriller received mixed reviews and was labeled a box-office bomb over the summer, but Malcolm has a point. It’s very much a movie of moments. Even if it doesn’t coalesce into a satisfying whole, there are some great scenes, and surprisingly strong world-building.

Based on Peter Heller’s 2012 novel, “The Dog Stars” is set in a near-future ravaged by a flu pandemic. Hig (Jacob Elordi) is a survivor living in a hangar outside Erie, Colorado, with his dog, Jasper, and gruff companion Bangley (Josh Brolin).
