That’s why, over the next 12 months, blockbusters are coming to streaming to watch at home. Here are some proposals for this 2023.
“The Last of Us”
Perhaps the most anticipated release of the month is this adaptation of the post-apocalyptic saga of “Naughty Dog”, which promises great fidelity to the original video games, although certain deviations from the Playstation canon have also been anticipated.

It can be seen starting today on HBO Max.
“Japanese Tales of the Macabre”
Netflix is tackling series based on horror anthologies that are becoming must-have delicacies for fans of the genre.

It can be seen from January 19 on Netflix.

There, the fate of a civil war will depend on the possibility of cloning the brain of an elite soldier to create a mercenary robot. It can be seen from January 20 on Netflix.
“Velma”
The scooby-gang glasses are becoming the star of the franchise, first after coming out in the latest “Scooby-Doo” special, and now with an adult-animated series that retains all the charm of the resolver. of mysteries. This series will investigate the detective beginnings of the character, but injecting him with some irony since, as can be seen in the teaser, he begins by making fun of the very nature of the spin-offs. From January 20 it will be available on HBO Max.
“Godzilla vs. Kong”
With its success and after great precedents such as “Godzilla” or “Kong: La Isla Calavera”, “Godzilla vs. Kong” has turned Warner’s Monsterverse into a very interesting commercial bet.

It can be seen from January 21 on HBO Max.
“The Legend of Vox Machina”

It will be available from January 20 on Prime Video.
“Star Wars: La remesa mala”
Another animated return, this one from the “Star Wars” franchise.

“Jurassic World: Dominion”
The latest installment in the “Jurassic World” trilogy is a nostalgic festival brimming with nods to the original saga, especially with the return of the three leads from Spielberg’s film: Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill and Laura Dern. Despite being the worst installment of the new saga, that has not prevented it from sweeping the box office, becoming one of the only three films released in 2022 that has exceeded the billion-dollar revenue barrier.

“Kaleidoscope”
A group of thieves launch a plan for a robbery that they have been preparing for more than two decades.
