If you are streaming the movie (it isn't on your computer's hard drive) it could be that your WiFi connection isn't providing enough speed. Try placing the router in a different location, changing the position of the antennas, etc. It could also be that your computer is busy doing other things. You might need to quit all other programs before you watch a movie.

your WiFi coverage isn’t necessarily the same throughout the house. For example, in my living room I have great signal strength and quality except for one corner...where the appleTV is. Also depending on where the WiFi antenna is located on your device in relation to your router can have an impact. My AppleTV works fine if I turn it 90 degrees. Finally, I’ve noticed that my phone and iPad almost always have better reception than my MacBook
