October is a month when you really need to hype yourself up. Not only do you need to mentally prepare for the upcoming holiday season, you also need to get ready for the colder weather to come. Relaxing at home with one of the best action movies on Prime Video can really get you pumped for the challenging and busy months to come.
Here, we have put together 3 action movies on Prime Video you need to watch in October. You might have already seen a few, but they have great re-watch potential. And if you haven’t watched them yet, what are you waiting for? With these flicks streaming on Amazon Prime Video right now, it’s the perfect time to watch them before they’re gone.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is back on the big screen in this superhero film, playing the DC character released from captivity to help free the nation of Kahndaq from a crime syndicate. But he’ll meet plenty of challenges along the way, leading to lots of action sequences, epic fight scenes, and wonderful visual effects.
Black Adam, which serves as a spin-off to Shazam!, didn’t even break even at the box office, a surprise for Johnson, one of the highest-paid actors in the business. But if you’re a fan of the superhero space, and especially DC, it’s a movie to add to the list, if for no other reason than to see Johnson live out a passion project.

Your early life can shape you, but as people have shown time and time again, the path you follow, even in the face of adversity, is a choice. Sometimes, someone takes a positive path while others go down a darker road. In the case of Brotherhood, a Nigerian crime-action thriller, twin brothers spend their early years dealing with trauma and fighting on the streets of Lagos. As they get older, they begin to lead very different lives. Wale (Falz) becomes an officer for a police SWAT team while his brother Akin (Tobi Bakre) goes on to pursue a life of criminal behavior.
Their love and loyalty to one another are put to the ultimate test when the brothers become the hunter and the hunted, Wale desperate to save his brother and Akin desperately in need of saving.

Cap off the Jurassic World trilogy with the last film and the sixth Jurassic Park movie overall. Sequel to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and finalizing the story that began with 1993’s Jurassic Park, Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, BD Wong, and Omar Sy return in a world where dinosaurs are living among the humans. Jurassic World Dominion also marks the first time Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill appear together since the original flick.
One of few films to receive the honor of grossing over a billion dollars worldwide, Jurassic World Dominion was not the best reviewed of the trilogy. But if you haven’t seen it yet, you’ll want to tie the series off with a nice bow, even binge it with the first two for a lazy movie night in.

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
