Sign in to your Collider account Prime Video has been on a roll with its 2026 original movies. Now that we're well past the halfway point of the year, the streaming platform has delivered everything from questionable rom-coms to explosive action thrillers. While some releases have lived up to the hype, others have fallen short, and a few have turned out to be genuine surprises. With such a varied slate, there's been plenty to enjoy, and just as much to debate. Whether you're looking for the year's biggest winners or the movies that fall short, here is every 2026 Prime Video movie, ranked worst to best. 7 'Relationship Goals' (2026) Image via Prime Video It's the return of the exes in Relationship Goals. Leah Caldwell (Kelly Rowland) is determined to become the first woman to lead New York City's top morning show. But her ambitions are threatened when her ex-boyfriend, Jarrett Roy (Method Man), returns as her biggest rival for the job. Claiming he has transformed after reading the bestselling self-help book Relationship Goals, Jarrett hopes to win Leah back while competing against her professionally. As her friends begin to embrace the book's lessons, Leah must choose between her heart and her career. Since much of the movie revolves around Michael Todd's book, Relationship Goals, it feels less like a genuine rom-com and more like a prolonged advertisement. Between the obvious product placements and the book cover constantly appearing on-screen, Relationship Goals prioritizes corporate branding over creativity. As a result, much of the dialogue and the plot revolve around promoting the book, repeatedly suggesting that its teachings hold the solution to even the most complicated relationship problems. 6 'Balls Up' (2026) Image via Ben Rothstein /© Amazon MGM Studios /Courtesy Everett Collection Brad Lewison (Mark Wahlberg) and product inventor Elijah DeBell (Paul Walter Hauser) are forced to work together to pitch their unconventional full-coverage condom, "Balls Up," as the World Cup sponsor in Brazil. After a disastrous chain of events turns them into the country's most wanted men, the mismatched duo embarks on a wildly chaotic adventure involving cartels, spies, and angry football fans. Along the way, they overcome their differences, put aside their egos, and get one final chance to revive their failed invention. Balls Up feels more like a stitch of incoherent five-minute sketches than one properly thought-out raunchy comedy. Funny ideas are one thing, but bringing them together to support the main plot is much harder, and Balls Up fails to do that. With so many side adventures pulling the story away from its original intent, it's difficult for the main premise to leave a lasting impression. As for the juvenile jokes, while raunchy humor is ultimately a matter of taste, there are simply too many of them, making the movie feel more uninspiredly repetitive than genuinely funny. 5 'Your Fault: London' (2026) Image via Prime Video After the events of My Fault: London, Noah (Asha Banks) and Nick (Matthew Broome) try to make their relationship work as Noah begins studying at Oxford while Nick works at Lesiter Enterprises. But things get complicated, all no thanks to distance, jealousy, and family pressure. With the two caught up in their new lives, Noah and Nick are bound to meet new people. As their relationship reaches a breaking point, it's only a matter of time before the couple confronts their biggest demons. Your Fault: London is based on the BookTok sensation Your Fault (Culpable) by Mercedes Ron, with the hype surrounding the novel carrying over to its movie adaptation. However, both the book and the film romanticize toxic relationship behaviors, particularly on Nick's side. Traits like aggressive jealousy, possessiveness, and severe mood swings risk being misinterpreted as signs of true love and devotion if not handled carefully. While audiences may be intrigued by a little volatility in a romantic drama, too much of it ends up sending an unhealthy message about what love should look like. Collider Exclusive · Oscar Best Picture Quiz Which Oscar Best PictureIs Your Perfect Movie? Parasite · Everything Everywhere · Oppenheimer · Birdman · No Country Five Oscar Best Picture winners. Five completely different visions of what cinema can be — and what it can do to you. One of them is the film that was made for the way your mind works. Ten questions will figure out which one. 🪜Parasite 🌀Everything Everywhere ☢️Oppenheimer 🐦Birdman 🪙No Country for Old Men FIND YOUR FILM → 01 What kind of film experience do you actually want? The best movies don't just entertain — they leave something behind. ASomething that pulls the rug out — that makes me think I'm watching one kind of film and then reveals I'm watching another entirely. BSomething overwhelming — funny, sad, absurd, and genuinely moving, all at once. CSomething grand and weighty — a film that makes me feel the full scale of what I'm watching. DSomething formally daring — a film that pushes what cinema can even do. ESomething lean and relentless — pure tension with no wasted frame. NEXT QUESTION → 02 Which idea grabs you most in a film? Great films are driven by a central obsession. What's yours? AClass, inequality, and what people are willing to do when desperation meets opportunity. BIdentity, family, and the chaos of trying to hold your life together when everything is falling apart. CGenius, moral responsibility, and the catastrophic weight of a decision you can never take back. DEgo, legacy, and the terror of becoming irrelevant while you're still alive to watch it happen. EEvil, chance, and whether moral order actually exists or if we just tell ourselves it does. NEXT QUESTION → 03 How do you like your story told? Form is content. The way a story is shaped changes what it means. AGenre-twisting — I want it to start in one lane and migrate into something completely different. BMaximalist and genre-blending — comedy, action, drama, sci-fi, all in one ride. CEpic and non-linear — cutting between timelines, building a mosaic of cause and consequence. DA single unbroken flow — I want to feel like I'm living it in real time, no cuts to safety. ESpare and precise — every scene doing exactly what it needs to do and nothing more. NEXT QUESTION → 04 What makes a truly great antagonist? The opposition defines the protagonist. What kind of opposition fascinates you? AA system — invisible, structural, and almost impossible to fight because it has no single face. BThe self — the ways we sabotage, abandon, and fail the people we love most. CHistory — the unstoppable momentum of events that no single person can stop or redirect. DThe industry — the machinery of culture that chews up talent and spits out irrelevance. EPure, implacable evil — a force so certain of itself it becomes almost philosophical. NEXT QUESTION → 05 What do you want from a film's ending? The final note is the one that lingers. What do you want it to sound like? AShock and inevitability — a conclusion that recontextualises everything that came before it. BEarned emotion — I want to cry, laugh, and feel genuinely hopeful, even if the world is a mess. CDevastation and grandeur — an ending that makes me sit in silence for a few minutes after. DAmbiguity — something that leaves enough open that I'm still thinking about it days later. EBleakness — an honest refusal to pretend the world is tidier than it actually is. NEXT QUESTION → 06 Which setting pulls you in most? Where a film takes place shapes everything — mood, stakes, what's even possible. AA gleaming modern city with a hidden underside — beauty masking rot, wealth masking desperation. BA collapsing suburban life that opens onto something infinite — the multiverse of a single ordinary person. CThe corridors of power and science at a world-historical turning point — where decisions echo for decades. DThe grimy, alive chaos of New York and Hollywood — fame as both destination and trap. EVast, indifferent landscape — desert and highway where violence arrives without warning or reason. NEXT QUESTION → 07 What cinematic craft impresses you most? Every great film has a signature — a technical or artistic element that makes it unmistakable. AProduction design and mise-en-scène — every frame composed to carry meaning beneath the surface. BEditing and tonal control — the ability to move between registers without losing the audience. CScore and sound design — music that becomes inseparable from the dread and awe of what you're watching. DCinematography as performance — the camera not recording events but participating in them. ESilence and restraint — what's left unsaid and unshown doing more work than any dialogue could. NEXT QUESTION → 08 What kind of main character do you root for? The protagonist is the lens. Who you choose to follow says something about you. ASomeone smart and resourceful who makes increasingly dangerous decisions under pressure. BSomeone overwhelmed and ordinary who turns out to be capable of something extraordinary. CA brilliant, tortured figure whose gifts and flaws are inseparable from each other. DA self-destructive artist whose ego is both their superpower and their undoing. EA quiet, principled person trying to make sense of a world that has stopped making sense. NEXT QUESTION → 09 How do you feel about a film that takes its time? Pace is a choice. Some films sprint; others let tension accumulate slowly, deliberately. AI love a slow build when I know the payoff is going to be seismic — patience for a devastating reveal. BGive me relentless momentum — I want to feel breathless and emotionally spent by the end. CEpic runtime doesn't scare me — if the material demands three hours, give me three hours. DI want it to feel propulsive even when nothing is technically happening — restless energy throughout. EDeliberate and unhurried — I want dread to accumulate in the spaces between the action. NEXT QUESTION → 10 What do you want to feel walking out of the cinema? The best films leave a mark. What kind of mark do you want? AUnsettled — like I've just seen something I can't fully explain but can't stop thinking about. BMoved and energised — like the film reminded me what actually matters and gave me something to hold onto. CHumbled — like I've been in the presence of something genuinely important and overwhelming. DExhilarated — like I've just seen cinema doing something it's never quite done before. EHaunted — like a cold, quiet dread that stays with me for days. REVEAL MY FILM → The Academy Has Decided Your Perfect Film Is…Your answers have pointed to one Oscar Best Picture winner above all others. This is the film that was made for the way your mind works. ParasiteYou are drawn to films that operate on multiple levels simultaneously — that begin in one genre and quietly, brilliantly migrate into another. Bong Joon-ho's Parasite is a film about class, desire, and the architecture of inequality that manages to be darkly funny, deeply suspenseful, and genuinely shocking across a single extraordinary running time. Your instinct is for cinema that hides its true intentions until the moment it's ready to reveal them. Parasite is exactly that — a film that rewards close attention and punishes assumptions, right up to its devastating final image. Everything Everywhere All at OnceYou want it all — and this film gives you all of it. The Daniels' Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of the most maximalist films ever made: action comedy, multiverse sci-fi, family drama, existential crisis, and a genuinely earned emotional core that sneaks up on you amid the chaos. You are someone who responds to ambition, who doesn't want cinema to choose between being entertaining and being meaningful. This film refuses that choice entirely. It is overwhelming by design, and its overwhelming nature is precisely the point — because the feeling of being crushed by infinite possibility is exactly what it's about. OppenheimerYou are drawn to cinema on a grand scale — films that understand history not as a backdrop but as a force, and that place their characters inside that force and watch what happens. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is a film about the terrifying gap between what we can do and what we should do, told with the full weight of one of the most consequential moments in human history behind it. You want your films to feel important without feeling self-important — to earn their ambition through sheer craft and the gravity of their subject. Oppenheimer does exactly that. It is enormous, complicated, and refuses easy comfort. BirdmanYou are drawn to films that foreground their own construction — that make the how of the filmmaking part of the what it's about. Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman, shot to appear as a single continuous take, is cinema examining itself through the cracked mirror of a fading actor's ego. You respond to formal daring, to the feeling that a film is doing something that probably shouldn't be possible. Michael Keaton's performance and Emmanuel Lubezki's restless camera create something genuinely unlike anything else — a film that is simultaneously about creativity, relevance, self-destruction, and the impossibility of ever truly knowing if your work means anything at all. No Country for Old MenYou are drawn to cinema that trusts silence, that refuses to explain itself, and that treats dread as a form of meaning. The Coen Brothers' No Country for Old Men is a film about the arrival of a new kind of evil — implacable, arbitrary, and utterly indifferent to the moral frameworks we use to make sense of the world. It is one of the most formally controlled films ever made, and its controlled restraint is what makes it so terrifying. You want your films to haunt you, not comfort you. You are not interested in resolution if resolution would be dishonest. No Country for Old Men is honest in a way that most cinema never dares to be. ↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ 4 'The Bluff' (2026) Image via Prime Video The Bluff follows former pirate Ercell Bodden (Priyanka Chopra), who has left her notorious past as the feared "Bloody Mary" and now lives a peaceful life on Cayman Brac. When her former captain, Connor (Karl Urban), arrives seeking revenge, Ercell is forced back into the violent world she thought she'd escaped. As Connor threatens her family and kills those closest to her, Ercell must rely on her hidden cave fortress and years of survival instincts to confront the man who refuses to let her past die. Despite the weak story, flat writing, and uneven characterization, Chopra and Urban deliver committed lead performances. With their previous action experience in Citadel and The Boys, the two execute the well-choreographed action sequences tremendously. If the story doesn't stick, at least the immersive locations, which give the movie an authentic pirate-adventure feel, deliver that nostalgic charm of classic pirate films. It ultimately works as a light, escapist action movie that doesn't require much theorizing. 3 'Jack Ryan: Ghost War' (2026) Image via Amazon MGM Studios After a routine business trip to Dubai turns deadly, Jack Ryan (John Krasinski) is drawn into a dangerous conspiracy linked to Project Starling, a secret black-ops program created after 9/11. Teaming up with MI6 officers, Ryan races to stop rogue operative Liam Crown from carrying out devastating terrorist attacks across London. As buried secrets and internal betrayals come to light, Ryan must expose the Starling network before Crown can use it to plunge the world into chaos. Jack Ryan: Ghost War isn't Krasinski's first rodeo as Jack Ryan, making the role feel like second nature to him at this point. However, instead of the beady-eyed CIA agent audiences first met, this installment presents him as far more experienced and emotionally weary. Unfortunately, Jack Ryan: Ghost War itself feels hollow. With much of the plot revolving around the post-9/11 world, the movie leans heavily into the action without considering the political nuances that gave the Jack Ryan series its depth. 2 'Pretty Lethal' (2026) Image via Prime Video Dancing gets deadly in Pretty Lethal. A group of elite ballet dancers traveling to an international competition in Budapest becomes trapped inside a remote hotel run by a ruthless crime family after their teacher is murdered. Forced to fight for survival, the dancers transform their ballet training into deadly combat, using sharpened pointe shoes and choreography-inspired techniques to battle waves of armed killers. As they fight, the troupe must rely on teamwork to survive and honor their late mentor. Pretty Lethal's interesting premise comes from taking a seemingly "girlish" and "soft" dance genre and putting it through the trenches. But anyone who has seen or been part of the world of ballet knows just how tough it really is, and these girls prove it. The five ballerinas have clear chemistry with one another, although it would have been better if they had been given more backstory. That aside, the ballet element adds an innovative touch to the fight choreography, with the blood and gore feeling akin to John Wick and Bullet Train. 1 'The Wrecking Crew' (2026) Image via Prime Video It's a not-so-brotherly reunion in The Wrecking Crew. After their private investigator father is killed in Hawaii, estranged half-brothers James (Dave Bautista), a Navy SEAL, and suspended detective Jonny (Jason Momoa) must work together to discover who's responsible for his death. Their investigation exposes a conspiracy involving the yakuza, political corruption, and a scheme to build a casino on protected Hawaiian land. With their loved ones on the line, the brothers must put their egos aside to honor their father's final mission. The Wrecking Crew doesn't feature the most groundbreaking story. However, Momoa and Bautista — two equally larger-than-life men with the same action skill set and gruff demeanor — make for one of the best mismatched brothers on screen. The action is unforgivingly brutal and massive, and fans of hand-to-hand combat can practically feel the bone-smashing pain as these men pummel their enemies. Overall, it has the heart, humor, and heavy action you'd expect from a classic buddy-cop movie, while delivering a satisfying conclusion that ties back to the meaning of family. Release Date January 28, 2026 Runtime 124 minutes Director Ángel Manuel Soto Cast The Wrecking Crew, set to release in 2025, is an action-packed buddy comedy starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista as brothers. The film, directed by Ángel Manuel Soto, follows their characters as they navigate the criminal underworld in Hawaii; blending humor and explosive action. Drawing comparisons to classics like Lethal Weapon, the movie promises high-energy sequences and the charismatic chemistry between its leads​.
