What new movies are on Amazon Prime Video: February 2021

Sonic the Hedgehog 

Given the history of video game movies, you would be forgiven for expecting the worst of Sonic the Hedgehog. This is after all the movie that got delayed by almost a year because the original character design sparked fan outrage.

Sonic is a super fast anthropomorphic hedgehog from another reality. When he draws the attention of the government by causing a blackout, Sonic must run from the evil Dr. Robotnik and his army of robots. With thrilling action and warmly funny dialog, Sonic is an unexpected treat.

The Prestige (2006)

Christopher Nolan has only dabbled once in the world of period pieces but the mind bending result, The Prestige, might be his best film. Yes, Batman fans, we’re serious. The Prestige is a story of magic and revenge set in 19th century London.

Following a tragic accident a magic duo begin a years long rivalry of magic and madness. Giving away too much of the plot would ruin the best secrets The Prestige keeps up its sleeve. It also features an unbelievable cast including Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Scarlett Johansson.
