Amazon’s 99 cents promotion: the highlights
At first glance, the best-known blockbusters aren’t on offer this time around, but if you take a closer look at the movie selection, you’ll find some gems. Here is our selection:
Life in Space : The star-studded science fiction thriller paints a very serious version of the future in space and is definitely not for fans of colorful sci-fi fantasy à la Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy. But that’s precisely why the realistic depiction of the colonization of space has its own appeal.
Old Henry : Straightforward western with a great atmosphere that knows its stuff and doesn’t let its acting show. In the Moviepilot community, the consistent late western comes in at a strong 7.1 points.
The Worst Man in the World : Joachim Trier’s portrait of the Millenial generation duly concludes his Oslo trilogy. With plenty of wit and emotion, the comedy is also thought-provoking. Critics have been enthusiastic, with Rotten Tomatoes garnering an incredible 96 percent positive reviews to date.
Ringu: We have a special treat in store for horror fans. Hideo Nakata’s legendary horror thriller Ringu inspired numerous Japanese scary movies and was even later remade as The Ring. If you’re big horror connoisseurs like the author of this text and want to fill that education gap, now’s your chance.
