Best movies in the top 10 on Prime Video

‘The Scapegoat’ (2024)

“The Fall Guy,” which struggled to find an audience last spring, continues to baffle me. This action comedy seemed to have all the necessary ingredients to succeed. It features two adorable stars (Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling), was directed by a great director (David Leitch), and earned positive reviews. And yet, it was disappointing at the box office. I’m glad to see that its arrival on Prime Video has taken it straight to number 1, as it deserves more attention.

Based very loosely on the 1980s television show of the same name, in “The Fall Guy,” Ryan Gosling plays Colt Seavers, a former stuntman who retired from the game after a career-ending accident in the set of an action movie. However, he is called back into action to find the missing star of a new blockbuster and win back the heart of his old love and first-time director of said action movie, Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt).

“A Quiet Place” moved forward by looking back in 2024 with a prequel titled “Day One.” However, the name is a misnomer since the vast majority of the film does not take place on the first day that death occurred. The creatures arrive on Earth and begin to decimate the population. However, it is another adrenaline-pumping effort in the “A Quiet Place” universe, and the film’s true ace is new lead Lupita Nyong’o, who brings to life a character with a very special personality. different motivation for survival.

Sam (Nyong’o) is on a group trip to New York when aliens fall from the sky and begin an invasion that overwhelms humanity in just a matter of days. These creatures hunt by sound, and with the help of a stranger named Eric (Joseph Quinn), Sam must travel around the city staying as silent as possible. Your search? To get the last slice of pizza from your favorite New York joint before the alien creatures can destroy the last remnants of society.

Like “The Fall Guy” last year, “The Creator” was a big-budget movie that struggled at the box office in the fall of 2023. This overlooked sci-fi action movie really deserved better because in a genre dominated by franchises. movies, was a rare original effort that felt instantly appealing, and its clever viral marketing campaign was very memorable (though perhaps not as effective at getting butts in seats). It’s also one of the most visually striking sci-fi movies of the last few decades and comes from “Rogue One” director Gareth Edwards.

Set 30 years in the future, humanity is at war with an artificial intelligence created by the United States government. Joshua (John David Washington) is a grieving soldier recruited for a covert mission to hunt down and kill the “Creator,” the father of AI believed to have created a weapon that could end the war. The narrative attempts to answer big questions about our relationship with AI, but it’s also a satisfying watch for viewers looking for an exciting adventure.
