3 best new to Prime Video movies to binge-watch this weekend (Aug. 29-30) —including a 97% revenge thriller

For a weekend of binge-watching, Amazon Prime Video has released three standout films that cater to diverse tastes.

First up is "Is God Is," a genre-bending revenge thriller that has received critical acclaim. The 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes indicates it's a must-watch. The story revolves around twin sisters who seek revenge against their father for a childhood fire that scarred them all. Kara Young and Mallori Johnson deliver powerful performances as the sisters, making this film a compelling choice for viewers.

Next, "Back to the 90s" offers a delightful time-travel comedy. Five childhood friends, now grown men, are reunited as they chase their dream of becoming a boy band. When one of them threatens to leave, they are unexpectedly transported back to the 1990s. The film is a light-hearted, feel-good adventure that transports viewers to a nostalgic era of boy bands. Fans of boy-band nostalgia will find themselves reliving their favorite memories vicariously through this film.

Finally, "The Last Sunrise" provides a heartwarming summer romance set against the backdrop of Mallorca's beaches. Based on the bestselling novel by Anna Todd, who also penned the "After" series, this film is a summer romance akin to "The Fault in Our Stars." It tells the story of a college student with a chronic illness who visits Mallorca with her mother, hoping to escape.

However, her plans take an unexpected turn when she meets a local who helps her embrace the moment. The film's emotional depth and swoony atmosphere make it a perfect choice for those seeking a feel-good romance.
