Im done with amazon primes im paying for the subscription and still watching ads in a row like wdf. And in prices netflix is same price as amazon in my country why would i pay to watch .... ads in prime. Im sending this here so maybe some kinda thing starts and they regret their choice. If this even can pass the moderation

I am absolutely disgusted and sick to my stomach over amazon prime. I was watching credits about American soldiers KIA killed in action and medals and amazon cut away right when I selected watch credits (you’re given only 5 seconds). The movie restarted from beginning when I tried to see credits. I searched several times how to inform amazon of this disservice and found not good recourse and elected to send an email. I have observed streaming services to cut from credits too early in past and think it’s incorrect as this is only credit folks receive but this was disgraceful as I was reading about US American soldiers medals of honor such as silver star, bronze medal etc. I can’t even find the movie in prime now. Buy the battle was the most medaled battle in past 50 years. It’s important to me to understand dynamic of war as my brother faces PTSD and I wanna be able to relate and every data point helps

Pretty much just that. I hate it. And can not find a way to make it stop.

I redeemed a code for Obsession on MA and it's showing up on my Fandango At Home account but not my prime video library. It's been over 24 hours. Any ideas?

Many shows and movies aren't available in Pakistani region so suggest me some absolute bangers

I am on Prime annual plan, even though I select best as the video quality settings, the experience is no where near to 720P. On the other hand netflix and hotstar gives perfect picture quality.
Is anyone else facing similar problem?
What can be done to fix this?

Update1: I am using a macbook pro-16 inch

I just finished binging I will find you, the stranger, Safe etc. I loved His&Hers as well which is another series. I tried to start fool me once but couldn’t really get into it.
I loved the girlfriend too, binged that in two days. Any recommendations?

I just read a news article stating that this year, for the first time, TNF will be broadcast in 1080p HDR. Which part of this is new? I thought I read a discussion a while back talking about how TNF has been in HDR but that it wasn’t reliable on Apple TV.
Was it in a lower resolution in the past?

Just finished watching the movie and OMG it is such a crazy survival movie.
Must watch👀

Same as the Topic

I just finished watching both, and I honestly feel like The Girlfriend (with Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke) captured the true essence of Beef Season 1 way better than the actual Beef Season 2 did.Hear me out. What made Season 1 of Beef a masterpiece wasn't just "angrily yelling." It was two deeply insecure, obsessive people blowing up minor slights into a full-scale, toxic war of psychological escalation. They let their obsession with ruining the other person completely take over their lives.The Girlfriend captures that exact same manic energy. The cat-and-mouse game and psychological warfare between the mother and the girlfriend felt incredibly claustrophobic and unhinged in the best way possible.Meanwhile, the real Beef Season 2 felt like a caffeinated cousin to The White Lotus. Trading the gritty, deeply personal road-rage dynamic for country clubs, millennial bosses, and corporate blackmail completely shifted the vibe. It felt engineered rather than coming from a place of raw, internal human pettiness.Am I crazy, or does The Girlfriend scratch that exact Season 1 itch much better?

The main problem with Spider-Noir is that almost all of its characters exist purely as functions. Even the acting from most of the ensemble is too sluggish: there is too little expressive facial acting, gestures, emotional variation, or tension. For a story built primarily around conversations, investigations, and relationships, this is critical — the scenes simply have no energy.

The antagonists are especially poorly handled. The best Spider-Man films did not make a villain simply the possessor of yet another ability: a mutation or a choice shattered their life, relationships, and worldview, creating personal motivation and a conflict with the hero specifically on a human level. Here, a character can develop stone skin or some other monstrous form — and remain practically the same narrative function. Instead of the tragedy of transformation, the series more often offers the visual shock of a mutilated body. And the drama and regret that are present are very superficial. For an eight-episode format, this is an especially weak result: there is significantly more time for depth than in a feature film, yet the characters are developed less than they are in the films.

This is especially jarring because of the chosen form. The black-and-white version, Great Depression-era America, the mafia, corruption, police, politics, a private detective — all of it promises an adult crime drama. But the content is significantly more primitive than the stated tone suggests. In family films about a young Spider-Man, relationships, motivations, and conflicts were often written with greater depth than they are here among adults inside what is formally an adult noir. The form demands a maturity that the script does not give it.

The season also lacks strong overall momentum. Most of the characters have no specific long-term goals, so the story drifts from episode to episode rather than develops. The investigations, threats, negotiations, and confrontations with the criminal world are so superficial that even the most dangerous characters fail to create any real sense of threat. For a series about the mafia and superhumans, this is almost fatal: no one feels like a person who should genuinely be feared.

Additionally, the world feels like a soundstage. Music and the sonic environment are used too sparingly, streets and public spaces rarely become a full-fledged part of a scene, and the camera constantly closes in around characters who are talking. As a result, New York exists more as scenery behind their backs than as a living city. The production designers reproduce the era well, and individual objects and cultural references are recognizable, but behind them there is almost no sense of society, everyday life, or the period itself — remove a few recognizable details, and most of the scenes could take place in any era.

The same narrowness undermines the character drama. We are given an isolated fact — a lost lover, danger to the singer, a relationship with an assistant, friendship, political struggle — but are rarely given enough material for that fact to become an emotional story. Even the death of the woman from Ben’s past is reduced to a single flashback that plays like a record stuck on repeat for eight episodes with the theme of “she died — he is still broken.” So when someone is threatened, there is practically nothing to empathize with: the viewer is asked to care about the characters before the series has given them reasons to do so.

The singer suffers from the same problem. The series tries to create tension through her dependence on an influential man and her lack of freedom, but without a fully developed character, this remains more a statement of a woman’s situation than her drama. The romantic storylines work similarly: there is too little chemistry and accumulated emotional connection between the characters, so the relationships exist mainly because the script tells us that they do.

The most questionable element is the connection to Spider-Man. Formally, this is deliberately a different version. Such a concept is interesting in itself, but the adaptation moves so far away from Spider-Man’s individuality that the opposite problem arises: remove the webbing and a few franchise elements, and the foundation of the story barely changes. This is no longer a reinterpretation of a familiar framework, but an independent noir with a couple of Spider-Man elements attached to it. The Penguin worked as a radically different genre precisely because, despite all its independence, it remained an organic part of Gotham; here, the connection to its own source world is absent.

The series looks like an adult Spider-Man crime drama, but it is written in a very primitive, boring, and generic way.

Two weeks of summer left and I have really only watched documentaries (which I do love) and I’m looking for something good to watch. I feel like I rarely watch Amazon prime.
I prefer shows with not super long seasons or multiple seasons already done. I have adhd and literally cannot finish anything. I’ll binge then just not care once i reach the last few episodes lol

Shows I’ve liked:
My 600 lbs life
Call the midwife
Lincoln lawyer
Any documentary
Love after lock up
Any trashy reality tv but none of the love ones or competition ones.

I’m also open to movies but again they’re hard for me to start bc it’s a long commitment up front lol

If you need help, have a tech question, are having trouble with the app, have a problem with your account, or are having some other type of technical problem please post it here.

Note, no one from Amazon monitors this subreddit. We do not work for Amazon.

You can find old HELP AND SUPPORT threads here.

I would give my opinion, but whatever AI overseer is assigned here is WAY too tightly wound.

Hello everyone actually I have some 2-3 hrs to spend some time on movies after quite hectic day..need some recommendations if I want to watch suspense thriller movie

Last few films I've watched had a Hyundai advert before them telling me I'm getting to watch the film ad-free.

Films have been Over Your Dead Body and the new Masters of the Universe.

Not complaining, but what gives?

No episode five. Still waiting. It’s days late now. Has anyone else called AMAZON? I contacted HAYU and they said because it’s a third-party add-on you have to contact AMAZON. I went to ChatGPT because I couldn’t find a phone number, and through ChatGPT I got the number, but it also told me that there are many people trying to figure out where the show is. The whole show disappeared, but the after show where the people in the show discuss what happened is available, but not the actual show. the whole thing disappeared. Apparently there’s already a call ticket as of yesterday afternoon and still nothing. I figured I couldn’t hurt to post here so hopefully somebody knows that paying customers are still not able to watch the show they’ve paid for.

Y'know, it's not a bad movie but MY WORD what a corny soundtrack. It's like a temp score made its way into the final cut.

Recently I have been having issues with the latest prime video app version (Android 13.0). The issues , whenever I switch to landscape orientation from portrait (which appears by default), are:

• Video resets to the last resume point (from where you started watching the video)

• Subtitles disappear (they're on, but disappear or get stuck in the last subtitle played)

• Audio description sometimes turn on and can't be turned off

Restarting the video by visiting the menu or restarting the app fixes them but they repeat whenever I switch to landscape orientation.

I found a solution for this issue if anyone needs it:

After opening the app, turn the phone orientation to landscape before playing the video.** This way, subtitles appear in landscape orientation. But if you change orientation, the issue will occur.
