This may come as a surprise, but one of the top films of summer 2024 has come to Amazon Prime Video this week. IF didn’t get a lot of press compared to the other movies last summer, but it legged out $111 million domestically in the most competitive cinema landscape of the year.

If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you have access to Prime Video and the ability to explore fantasy worlds without leaving your living room couch. Whether it's the land of Thra from The Dark Crystal or The Lord of the Rings' Middle-earth, some sumptuous feats of imagination are waiting in the streamer's library.
