Watching Prime Video's latest sci-fi movie showed me how it's beating Netflix at its own game

A still from the movie Elevation showing Morena Baccarin, Maddie Hasson and Anthony Mackie.

Something that kept me and many other sci-fi fans coming back to Netflix pre-2020s was its burgeoning library of mid-budget sci-fi movies — these weren't necessarily good, and some were absolutely rubbish, but they were still a fun watch for fans of the genre. After watching Prime Video's latest movie, however, I think Amazon's top-rated streaming service is taking the crown instead.

The movie I'm talking about is called Elevation. It was released in theaters in the US in late 2024 but in many other parts of the world, including the UK, it's being billed as a Prime Video movie. That's how I saw it, after its streaming release in February.
