May has just begun, but already now in the cinematic sky you can see several bright stars - the best films of 2019. The top 10 most popular films that have already been released this year are compiled according to the rating of viewers on the KinoPoisk and IMDB websites.
10. Shazam
Movie Search Rating: 7,03
IMDB Rating: 7,5
Genre: fantasy, action, comedy
Country: USA
Producer: David sandberg
Music: Benjamin wallfish
Duration: 132 minutes
What kind of young man does not dream of growing up and becoming a beautiful, courageous, favorite of girls and a role model for men? If you add superpower to all these advantages, you get Shesam!
The concept of the film is quite interesting - how exactly will an ordinary American teenager behave in the body of an adult superhero? What actions will he commit, what choices will he make?
The result was a family movie in the best traditions of films for teenagers of the eighties. It resembles the Gremlins, with their slightly brutal humor and general recklessness. Separately, it is worth noting the excellent acting game of Zachary Livaya, who surprisingly well managed to convey the image of a teenager in an adult body - a little prickly, naive, slightly unhappy and very kind.
9. Dumbo
Movie Search Rating: 7,045
IMDB Rating: 6,6
Genre: fantasy family
Country: USA
Producer: Tim Burton
Music: Danny Elfman
Duration: 112 minutes
New from director Tim Burton, which includes such venerable actors as Eva Green and Colin Farrell - another representative of family films. However, this time in history, it’s not a superhero, but an elephant calf whose ears are so big that they can literally lift him into the air.
True, as in all Burton films, Dambo's sweetness and kindness sparkle brightly against the backdrop of the grotesque and human cunning.
8. Consequences
Movie Search Rating: 7,05
IMDB Rating: 6,3
Genre: drama, romance, military
Country: England, Germany, USA
Producer: James kent
Music: Martin Phipps
Duration: 108 minutes
The action of the recently released film takes place a year after the end of World War II. Englishwoman Rachel comes to her husband in Hamburg, destroyed by the war, which he is trying to pick up from the ruins. And he finds out that the husband decided to show magnanimity and allowed the previous owner, a German with a sick daughter, to remain in the mansion.
Against this depressing background of deprivation and sorrow, a classic love triangle unfolds between the heroine (Keira Knightley), her British husband (Jason Clark) and the German architect (Alexander Skarsgard). Although this is not the best film about the war and the post-war period, there is more than enough emotional component in it. And visually the film is very beautiful.
7. Way home
Movie Search Rating: 7,15
IMDB Rating: 6,7
Genre: romance, family
Country: China, USA
Producer: Charles Smith
Music: Michael Dann
Duration: 90 min
A film from the animal world, which is so nice to watch at home in the evening, with your family. The main character of the film is a pet dog named Bella, who is lost due to an absurd accident and is now trying to return to her beloved owners. It seems to be clear what the plot will be about, and even how it will end, right? However, not all so simple.
Unlike many others like him, the picture mostly tells about Bella's adventures in the world of wildlife, beautiful, enchanting and full of dangers. In addition to raccoons and hares, there are also hungry wolves, as well as cougars.

6. Alita: Battle Angel
Movie Search Rating: 7,2
IMDB Rating: 7,6
Genre: fiction, action, thriller
Country: USA
Producer: Robert Rodriguez
Music: Junkie Ex-El
Duration: 121 minutes
“Alita” is something that you should definitely watch when the heart requires a bright visual range and a well-made techno-futuristic thriller. After all, the director and screenwriter David Cameron managed to create an exciting movie, the saturation of which with special effects per unit time will satisfy the most discriminating audience.
The plot of one of the most anticipated films of 2019 is the sexy and metallic Alita, who, in search of lost memories, regularly fights with a variety of creatures of the creative brain of scriptwriters, arranges spectacular chases (either as a hunter or a pursued one), and also tears off her brothers cyborg limbs in the arena.
The visual at the cinema is “tasty”, and the pace will not allow you to tear yourself away from the screen to the very end. And even the frank weakness of the story told can be forgiven to the creators of the “Battle Angel”. After all, who needs a story when this happens here!
5. Dirt
Movie Search Rating: 7,32
IMDB Rating: 7,0
Genre: drama, music, biography
Country: USA
Producer: Jeff Treimaine
Music: Paul Haslinger
Duration: 108 minutes
Rock and roll is alive, and sex and drugs are indispensable. The film was shot on the basis of a book about the emergence, formation, creative crisis and resurrection of the group Motley Crue. And since he has a rating of 18+, the viewer will fully enjoy all three components.
The group was known for its love of life in all its manifestations, including those that shock the respectable inhabitants. Cinema perfectly conveys the eccentric, chaotic and very attractive atmosphere of the "dirty rock" of the eighties.
Recreated clips and performances are reliable to the smallest detail, and at the same time they please you with bright colors and good sound. And, music lovers, get ready, there is just a lot of music in the film. Otherwise, was it worth filming a film about musicians, right?
4. Balkan line
Movie Search Rating: 7,39
IMDB Rating: 7,9
Genre: action, drama
Country: Russia, Serbia
Producer: Andrey Volgin
Music: Mikhail Afanasyev
Duration: 151 minutes
In fourth place among the coolest films of 2019 is a Russian-made film. The famously made military action movie, despite 2.5 hours of screen time, flies in one breath.
Unlike many Russian films, the quality of which, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired, this is technically made using the best Hollywood patterns. There is everything: harsh fighters with a golden heart, and the girl who was captured by the protagonist, and a dangerous mission behind enemy lines, and confrontation with a villain who embodies all unthinkable vices.
However, the Yugoslavs, supporting actors playing the Serbian paratroopers, breathed real life into the film. The film is based on real events, and the pain, suffering and rage of the Serbs blaze from the screen.
Many viewers will probably remember the star of Soviet films about Indians - Goiko Mitich. He also starred in The Balkan Frontier. Despite his advanced age (the actor is 78 years old), Goyko is in excellent physical shape. On the set, he even refused to use an understudy and performed all the tricks himself.
3. A meter apart
Movie Search Rating: 7,76
IMDB Rating: 7,1
Genre: drama, melodrama
Country: USA
Producer: Justin Baldoni
Music: Brian Tyler
Duration: 116 minutes
How to squeeze a tear from the viewer? Create a drama about two lovers who suffer and languish for each other, but cannot connect (preferably under pain of death). And if the heroes are also teenagers, and suffer from an incurable disease, and the action takes place in a hospital ...
But not everything is so gloomy - despite the circumstances, the film is paradoxically cheerful. And the "chemistry" that exists between the actors will make you believe in the reality of what is happening.
2. How to train your dragon 3
Movie Search Rating: 7,82
IMDB Rating: 7,6
Genre: cartoon, fantasy, adventure
Country: USA, Japan
Producer: Dean DeBlois
Music: John Powell
Duration: 104 minutes
According to viewers, the animated story about the friendship of a boy and a dragon is one of the best stories in the world of modern cinema. And the last part is a worthy conclusion to the whole series. The story of how Vikings and dragons live on a secluded island in harmony, as if returns us to a lost paradise, where once humans and animals could live together and not be afraid of each other. However, there are spots in the sun, and a thunderstorm in the face of a dragon hunter vowed to destroy all the night furies is inexorably approaching the Viking-Dragon idyll. And their last representative was the toothless loved by the audience.
Despite the love of dragons, we agree with the screenwriters: the series had to end. Already in the second part, lengths and repetitions were observed, the third suffers from them even more, although it turned out to be a worthy ending. And if the franchise decided to extend another couple of episodes, even the charm of Toothless could not save her.
1. Avengers: Final
Movie Search Rating: 8
IMDB Rating: 8,9
Genre: fantasy, fantasy, action, adventure
Country: USA
Producer: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
Music: Alan Silvestri

As we all remember, the previous part of the grandiose epic ended tragically - the death of half the population. And not just one planet Earth, but the whole universe. How could the writers get out of this situation? Have the heroes really died, or will they be back? Who will save the universe? We, personally, put on a raccoon. True or not - see for yourself.
