3 Underrated Movies on Amazon Prime Video You Need to Watch in February 2025 – Digital Trends

Amazon Prime Video has many great TV shows you can watch with a subscription, from originals like Reacher and Cross to older network shows like Elementary and Chuck, and even old classics like Columbo. But if you dig deeper through the content library, you’ll find some hidden gems, too.
On Call (2025)

On Call is a brand-new Amazon original created by Dick Wolf, the man behind some of the biggest police procedurals ever to grace the small screen, like Law & Order and the Chicago franchise. Set in Long Beach, Traci Harmon (Troian Bellisario) is a veteran training officer, and Alex Diaz (Brandon Larracuente) is her rookie partner.
Each episode follows their investigations into local emergency calls, all while grieving the loss of another officer. There’s a massive discrepancy in how critics and audiences view this show, according to Rotten Tomatoes, with a 50% versus 90% score. This may have deterred some potential viewers from watching.
However, considering the positive audience reception, many praised how the show is “believable,” it’s one of those “watch and make a call for yourself” types of shows. Give On Call a few half-hour episodes and go from there. Stream On Call on Amazon Prime Video.
The Rig (2023-)

The Rig is a supernatural thriller about people aboard a Scottish oil rig stuck in the North Sea when a fog completely envelops them. This isn’t ordinary fog, however; it contains spores that affect crew members who come in contact, leading to an even more dangerous situation.
Thankfully, a scientist on the ship theorizes that an ancient parasite was released from the ocean floor and caused the lethal disaster. He’s possibly the only one who can figure out how to stop the spread. If you tend to agree more with critics than viewers, The Rig has the opposite issue to On Call: critics generally like it, according to Rotten Tomatoes, but viewers aren’t so fond.
With Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek) and Iain Glen (Game of Thrones, Silo) at the helm, it’s worth checking out for that reason alone. Pertaining to the recently released second season, Craig Mathieson of the Sydney Morning Herald says the storytelling has “creepy momentum” even if “the budget constraints still show.” Stream The Rig on Amazon Prime Video.
Pop Culture Jeopardy! (2024-)

Do you ever throw on Jeopardy! to watch with the family and feel embarrassed that you don’t get any of the questions right? Maybe you watch the kids bury their faces in their phones because they’re bored and don’t understand the questions anyway.
Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a fun alternative that you can watch with the whole family, and everyone will feel like an expert, or at least enjoy some good laughs. The format is the same, though multiple people play together, and instead of Ken Jennings, you get Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost as host.
The questions relate to pop culture knowledge — movies, music, and celebrities. The winnings? Prizes and the chance to show your friends just how smart you are with the right subject matter. Stream Pop Culture Jeopardy! on Amazon Prime Video.
You’re Cordially Invited (2025)

You’re Cordially Invited is a new comedy film that is so new it’s underrated. Early reviews have been mixed, but we suspect they’ll improve as more and more people watch.
Or it could be the case of yet another comedy film that gets unsavory reviews yet is still downright fun to watch. The cast alone will pique your interest, made up of a who’s who of comedy, including Will Ferrell, Reese Witherspoon, and Meredith Hagner, a scene stealer in the Apple TV+ series Bad Monkey.
In You’re Cordially Invited, a wedding venue is double booked. One bride, Jenni (Geraldine Viswanathan), and her dad, Jim (Will Ferrell), prepare for war with the other bride, Neve (Meredith Hagner), and her sister and wedding planner, Margot (Reese Witherspoon).
As one of the most anticipated Amazon Prime Video movies of 2025, You’re Cordially Invited is one of those silly wedding comedies to watch when there’s nothing else on. Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times says that Ferrell and Witherspoon “play off each other with impeccable timing, and the supporting cast is universally terrific.” Stream You’re Cordially Invited on Amazon Prime Video.
Blink Twice (2024)

Blink Twice received decent reviews, but it’s one of those movies that’s easy to pass over, especially when so many other great movies came out last year alongside it.
If you haven’t yet watched the psychological thriller, check it out. Directed and produced by Zoe Kravitz and starring Channing Tatum, it’s about a nail artist and cocktail waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) who crosses paths with a billionaire tech mogul named Slater (Tatum) one night at an event where she’s working.
He invites her and her friend Jess (Alia Shawkat) to a private island; they think it’s an opportunity of a lifetime. At first, it seems this is indeed the case. But then, strange things start happening.
You should watch to find out where the story goes, as it takes creepy twists and turns. Radio Times’ Jeremy Aspinall praises the “stylish visuals and foreboding sound” that “deftly tease out the mystery until a furious finale reveals the sinister truth.” Stream Blink Twice on Amazon Prime Video.
Red One (2024)

Who said you can’t watch a Christmas movie in February, or any time of the year, for that matter? Coming off the heels of some blockbuster hits, Dwayne Johnson has had a few movie duds, and some might say Red One falls in the latter category.
But despite poor critic response, according to review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, fans love the film even if critics don’t. Combining festive fun with signature Johnson action, he is Callum Drift in this movie.
Stream Red One on Amazon Prime Video.
