Upcoming Movies in UAE You Shouldn’t Miss in 2025
If you thought cinema was a thing of the past and all everyone now wants to do is stream movies at home, you couldn’t be further from the truth. At VOX Cinemas, the box office is booming and going to the movies with family, friends, or a partner is still a real treat. 2025 is gearing up to be a blockbuster year for UAE movie fans, with some of the biggest franchises releasing eagerly anticipated films across all genres.
From family favourites and kid-friendly films to hard-hitting action movies and Bollywood spectaculars, it's going to be an entertainment bonanza. Grab your popcorn, settle into your seat and let's take a look at the upcoming movies you can't miss this year.
Hollywood Highlights
Let's start with some high-octane action from Hollywood and the eagerly anticipated third film in the Avatar series.
F1 is bound to get your pulse racing, especially if your other passion is motor racing. With Hollywood A-lister Brad Pitt at the helm, this powerful sports action drama tells the story of a retired racer persuaded to come out of retirement to mentor an up-and-coming racing star of the future. Directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Ehren Kruger, it also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem.
Tom Cruise bursts back onto cinema screens with the explosive eighth film in the Mission: Impossible franchise, Dead Reckoning Part Two (also referred to as The Final Reckoning by some industry sources). If you’re a Mission: Impossible fan, don’t worry, because despite the title there’s no word that this will be the last we’ll see of Ethan Hunt and his team. As dynamic as ever, this film follows directly from the 2023 film Dead Reckoning, so our top tip is to watch that one first.
The studio is being tight-lipped about the plot but we can guarantee there’ll be the usual jaw-dropping stunts and non-stop action. Also starring Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Charles Parnell, Angela Bassett, and Rolf Saxon.

Most Anticipated Bollywood Releases in 2025
Bollywood is also keeping everyone happy with some typically flamboyant and action-packed offerings this year. The battle royal will be between War 2 and Coolie, both promising a visual feast and some edge-of-your-seat stunts and action scenes. War 2 is a brand-new addition to the YRF Spy Universe and stars N. T. Rama Rao Jr. Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani, while Coolie is a classic Bollywood vendetta movie starring Aamir Khan, Pooja Hegde and Rajinikanth. Our top tip: don’t choose one or the other, look out for a VOX Cinema special deal and catch both for that double-movie night experience!
Family-Friendly Flicks: Animated and Kids Movies Coming Soon
Family-friendly movies and animations are at the top of the must-see this year, with Marvel Studios and Disney producing some top-quality entertainment for all ages. Keep a lookout for the premiere of Thunderbolts* in May for some superhero action and the return of the Fantastic Four in First Steps in July.
For younger film lovers, two of the most popular characters in the world hit the big screen in 2025, with Disney’s remake of Lilo & Stitch released in May, a live-action remake of the original animated version. And while it’s already released, Paddington In Peru is an utterly charming family film that’s breaking box office records around the world. Keep an eye out for the new Smurfs movie, too, which is an absolute delight for little ones and those who remember the Smurfs from the first time around!
Dinosaurs are on the loose again, with Jurassic World: Rebirth roaring its way into cinemas in July. Directed by Gareth Edwards, it’s a sequel to Jurassic World Dominion and stars a fresh cast, including Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey.
