    You mean you can’t see the content using the prime video app?

    I've only tried on a desktop. I haven't checked the prime video app yet.

    the us content will only work if you have a vpn and using a desktop, but if you are using the apple tv, im not seeing the us library

    Using the prime video app, with my VPN on and set to Japan, I was able to watch zerozerozero. I’m not sure which country’s content I’m able to see though. I don’t see anything Japanese, and there still seems to be a lot of Indian content showing

    yes, you have to go to amazon website to see the entire US library.. the app has its limits even with VPN, although zerozerozero shows up in the app.

    Apple TV has very strict geo restrictions. I'm not aware of any work around. I think the other guys here have done so but it requires a bit of tinkering which I have no patience to try. ha ha.

    I cancelled my annual Prime membership as I have not shopped there in 12 months and the video library is small for $119/year.

    Is PrimeVideo.com for the Philippines at $6/month any better?

    you need the vpn for it to make sense.. but you can always cancel and wait for their library to fill up with new shows & then renew

    The Tomorrow War - best popcorn movie I've seen this year! This would be perfect watch in the cinema, but I'm glad that it's available on prime video. Loved the story, characters, and acting. It's a return to proper block buster movie making. Watch it and spread the word. :)

    Yes.

    Definitely better than A Quiet Place Part II.

    Highly recommended.

    A Quiet Place Part 2 - 9/10 - A worthy sequel perhaps even better than the first. Excellent cast from Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt to the actors who played the children. John Krasinki is just a master of creating tension and atmosphere while using very little dialogue. Highly recommended.

    @leninmac - same question, it is still showing as 'pre-order' in PrimeVideo (and even in Itunes and Google Play)

    Tomorrow War was just ok for me. I like the story & premise too, but civilians with almost zero training can either shoot other humans by mistake or they're just there to be food. Ok popcorn movie nonetheless.

    enjoyed this with the kids. Was surprised wife stayed to finish it (she can’t stand these types of movies, she just usually sits with us for half an hour then slips out :ROFLMAO:). Story’s actually not bad.
    Time to exercise your sound systems folks, give those subs a workout (y)
