5 Hottest Movies of February 2022 to Keep On Your Radar

February begins to bring in the big-hitters of the Hollywood release schedule, delivering a cataclysmic popcorn feature, a long-awaited sequel, and a video game adaptation to throw in a little extra. We’ve rounded up the 5 biggest movies coming your way in February 2022:

Moonfall

Release date: 4 February 2022

Moonfall might sound like a James Bond sequel, but it’s actually the next big disaster movie from Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow director Roland Emmerich. Sticking with his end-of-the-world motif, Moonfall is as self-explanatory as you can imagine: the moon is falling in a collision course with Earth, and a handful of scientists are going to have to try and stop it. The film stars Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, Donald Sutherland, Michael Pena, Charlie Plummer and John Bradley.

Death on the Nile

Release date: 11 February 2022

Following up 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile sees Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot tasked with investigating another mysterious murder. Gal Gadot, Tom Batema, Annette Bening, and Russell Brand co-star in what should be another twisty tale of murder and deceit.

Uncharted

Release date: 18 February 2022

Sony has been busy working alongside its new film subsidiary, Playstation Studios, to help develop some of Playstation’s biggest franchises into big-screen adventures, and the first of which is Uncharted, directed by Venom and Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer. Based on one of the best-selling series from Naughty Dog, Uncharted introduces audiences to the young street-smart Nathan Drake (Spider-Man‘s Tom Holland) and showcases his first treasure hunting adventure with wisecracking partner Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg). In an action-adventure epic that spans the globe, the two go in the dangerous pursuit of “the greatest treasure never found” while also tracking clues that may lead to Nathan’s long-lost brother.

Blacklight

Release date: 25 February 2022

What’s an action-packed movie line-up without a good ole Liam Neeson thriller? Blacklight follows Travis Block, a government operative coming to terms with his shadowy past. When he discovers a plot targeting U.S. citizens, he finds himself in the crosshairs of the FBI director he once helped protect.

Dog

Release date: 25 February 2022

Any dog-lover will want to put Dog on their radar this February. The film stars Channing Tatum and follows two former army rangers, one human and one dog, who are paired, against their will, on the roadtrip of a lifetime. Briggs and a Belgian Malinois named Lulu buckle into a 1984 Ford Bronco and race down the Pacific Coast in hopes of making it to a fellow soldierʼs funeral on time. Along the way, they drive each other completely crazy, break a small handful of laws, narrowly evade death, and learn to let down their guards in order to have a fighting chance of finding happiness.
