Welcome to the Apple Community.

The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.

1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
