Prime Video is Amazon’s streaming service, packed with Hollywood blockbusters, independent gems, compelling originals, and sports exclusives like NFL Thursday Night Football. Max unlocks the best movies from Warner Bros., all-time great shows from HBO, and some unscripted standouts from Discovery’s family of channels.
But did you know you can add Max to Prime Video? We’ll explain how to connect the two services.
What Can You Watch on Prime Video?
Prime Video’s library rotates frequently, but there’s always A-list content available. You’ll see movies like “Mission: Impossible,” “American Beauty,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Air,” “Sicario,” “Forrest Gump,” “Interstellar,” “Get Out,” “Clerks,” “Saw,” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.” If you see a movie you like, be sure to watch it quickly, since it may only be available for a month.
Prime Video offers a lot of great TV. Original hits include “The Boys,” “Invincible,” “Fleabag,” and “Reacher.” Licensed titles may include shows like “Halo,” “Suits,” “Northern Exposure,” “House,” “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” “Outlander,” and “Chicago P.D.”
What Does Prime Video Cost?
After your 30-day free trial, Prime Video costs $8.99 / month. You can get rid of commercials if you’re willing to pay $11.99 / month.
How to Sign Up for Prime Video
If you have Amazon Prime, your subscription is already included. You can start watching today! Just download the Prime Video app on your favorite device and sign in.
If you don’t have Amazon Prime, just click through here and follow the steps provided. You’ll get a 30-day FREE trial to sample the service.
What Can You Watch on Max?
We can make a case that Max has the best movie library of any streaming service since the Warner Bros. archive goes back 100 years and includes some of the biggest blockbusters ever created. Subscribers will see hits like “Barbie,” “Dune,” and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Max often hosts the big-screen adventures of DC Comics superheroes like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
The Max lineup also includes dozens of critically acclaimed movies, like those from the Criterion Collection, Roger Ebert’s Great Movies, and the British Film Institute’s Sight and Sound Critics’ Poll. Max is often the host for films from cinematic titans like Kubrick, Fellini, Truffaut, Miyazaki, and Kurosawa. A deal with distributor A24 ensures critical favorites will continue on the service for a long time.
Almost no streaming service can match the quality of the Max TV library. You’ll see all-time greats like “The Sopranos,” “The Wire,” “The Last of Us,” “Game of Thrones,” “Succession,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Sex and the City,” and “Deadwood.” Subscribers can watch popular TV like “Friends,” “South Park,” and “The Big Bang Theory.”
Max also includes the B/R Sports section with live events that might normally be seen on TBS and TNT.
What Does Max Cost?
If you want the ad-supported version, Max costs $9.99 / month. If you prefer to go ad-free, the monthly cost is $16.99.
Why Might You Want to Add Max to Prime Video?
The primary benefit to adding Max to Prime Video is that you can access all your video within one user interface. This may be convenient if you download movies or shows for offline viewing on an airplane. All your content will be in one place.
Another nice benefit is that you’ll pay one bill instead of two.
