Yeah, a lot of it's older but it's a huge high-quality film back catalog which Amazon doesn't really have today.

I found Amazon Prime movie section (good movies) better than Netflix.

This buyout makes sence.

Personally, I find the all-you-can-eat subscription subs all pretty bad for film. They have even good films but if you want to watch a specific film, it's unlikely they have it. Earlier in the pandemic I even reupped my Netflix DVD rental service for a while. (Sadly, Netflix is obviously not repurchasing a lot of older movies as the discs become unwatchable.)
