This week, my picks range from a six-time Oscar winner that stands as one of the most acclaimed movies of the decade, a sprawling Western helmed by \u201cYellowstone\u2019s\u201d Kevin Costner, and a superhero time-waster that offers plenty of blockbuster spectacle.<\/p>\n

These new to Prime Video movies should keep you entertained over the weekend. Add them to your watchlist now if you want to avoid the early-summer sun and stay indoors where there’s AC instead.<\/p>\n

\u2018One Battle After Another\u2019 (2025)<\/p>\n

\u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d has already cemented its place as a modern classic. It was this year\u2019s awards-season darling, scooping wins at every major show, including Hollywood\u2019s biggest prize, Best Picture, at the 2026 Oscars. From director Paul Thomas Anderson, this action-thriller epic is worthy of all the hype. It combines masterful filmmaking, pure entertainment, and a star-studded cast, all locked in and delivering peak performances.<\/p>\n

In \u201cOne Battle After Another,\u201d Leonardo DiCaprio plays Bob Ferguson, a former revolutionary now in hiding with his precocious daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). Living off the grid and deeply paranoid, Bob\u2019s worst fear comes true when Willa goes missing, and his past catches up with him. Scrambling to locate his daughter, he must also contend with a vengeful adversary, Colonel Lockjaw (Sean Penn). The movie also packs excellent turns from Benicio del Toro and Regina Hall. It\u2019s funny, it\u2019s thrilling, and it\u2019s a total must-watch.<\/p>\n

\u2018Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1′ (2024)<\/p>\n

Kevin Costner\u2019s \u201cHorizon: An American Saga\u201d was a hugely ambitious Western series. Planned to comprise four movies, with the first two shot back-to-back, the franchise hit a snag almost immediately when \u201cChapter 1\u201d underperformed at the box office, and its sequel was indefinitely delayed. Two years later, it seems like \u201cHorizon\u201d might end up being a one-and-done, but in some ways, that only adds to the mystique of this Western.<\/p>\n

Clocking in at a butt-numbing 181-minute runtime, \u201cHorizon: An American Saga\u201d is no quick watch, but it\u2019s clearly Costner\u2019s baby. Not only did he write, direct and star in this movie, but he also contributed some of his personal fortune to fund the feature. \u201cHorizon: An American Saga\u201d is set in the 19th century, with a sprawling story that follows multiple families as they seek prosperity in the Old West and grapple with the American Civil War. It stars Costner, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Giovanni Ribisi and Jena Malone.<\/p>\n

The DC Extended Universe concluded with \u201cAquaman and the Lost Kingdom\u201d in 2023. The franchise that gave us \u201cBatman v Superman\u201d and the terrible \u201cJustice League\u201d movie isn\u2019t exactly missed, and its successor, the James Gunn-helmed DCU, has already surpassed it with just a single entry, last year\u2019s \u201cSuperman.\u201d However, the two \u201cAquaman\u201d movies rank among the more popular DCEU efforts, offering fantastical, underwater adventures and a likeable turn from Jason Momoa.<\/p>\n

Four years after the first \u201cAquaman,” Arthur Curry (Momoa) is now King of Atlantis. But in the shadows, the sinister Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) plots revenge and just might have the power required after uncovering the mythic Black Trident. With little choice, Arthur must form an uneasy alliance with his estranged brother, Orm (Patrick Wilson). There\u2019s certainly a generic quality to this \u201cAquaman\u201d sequel, but if you keep your expectations in check, it\u2019s possible to enjoy this CGI-fueled superhero adventure.<\/p>\n
