Watch ‘Shatner in Space’ trailer for new Prime Video documentary

William Shatner’s rocket ride to the edge of space in October is the subject of a Prime Video documentary that’s just landed on the streaming service.

The hour-long Amazon special — called Shatner in Space — follows events surrounding the Star Trek legend’s once-in-a-lifetime experience that saw him blast skyward in Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket for a few minutes of weightlessness and amazing views of Earth.

Here’s the trailer for Shatner in Space:

Shatner’s trip on Blue Origin’s sub-orbital rocket marked the second crewed launch using the New Shepard booster, after Blue Origin founder and Amazon boss Jeff Bezos took the first flight in July along with three other passengers.

Shatner also traveled alongside three other passengers. Sadly, one of them — Glen de Vries — lost his life in a plane crash in New Jersey just weeks after the Blue Origin experience.

At 90, Shatner became the oldest person to reach space, traveling four miles above the Kármán line — the spot 62 miles above Earth that’s widely regarded as the spot where space begins.

Minutes after emerging from the capsule at the end of the 10-minute adventure, Shatner said, “I’m so filled with emotion about what just happened. To see the blue color whip by, and now you’re staring into blackness, that’s the thing … this experience is something unbelievable … everybody in the world needs to do this. Everybody in the world needs to see this.”

The Canadian-born entertainer, most famous for his role as Captain Kirk in the 1960s Star Trek TV show and subsequent Star Trek movies, continued: “It’s extraordinary, extraordinary. It’s so much larger than me and life.”

Shatner took his trip courtesy of Blue Origin as the company moves toward the launch of a commercial space tourism service offering the same sub-orbital space ride.

But customers following in Shatner’s footsteps will have to fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars for the ride. Blue Origin is yet to reveal the exact cost of a seat aboard its capsule or precisely when it plans to launch a regular service.

Shatner in Space is available on Amazon Prime now.

Wild Cards (2024-)
Wild Cards | Official Season 1 Trailer
Hailing from Canada, Wild Cards is a little-known police procedural that fans of the genre will love. Now with two seasons under its belt, the series centers around Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti), a detective demoted to water cop duties. His first job is to transport Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan), a con woman, to the station for booking. But when Max helps him crack a major case, she’s offered a chance at redemption, and the duo becomes an unlikely pair.
Wild Cards tells a story that has been told many times before, but the fun dynamic between the two makes it watchable. Plus, 1990s fans will appreciate spotting Jason Priestley among the cast, while Martin Sheen also has a recurring role in the second season.

Will Smith and Gene Hackman side by side in an elevator, both looking angry in Enemy of the State.

Every month, movies come and go on Amazon Prime Video. You might find something you want to watch one month only to realize that it’s already gone the next. This isn’t to say that every movie has a 30-day shelf life. Many movies on Amazon Prime Video are available for much longer, sometimes years. But how do you know? You don’t, unless you check for warnings that a movie is leaving soon (which aren't always there). That's a lot of work. So let us do it for you.
With this selection of five movies leaving Amazon Prime Video in March 2025, we’re highlighting several fantastic films worth watching before they’re gone. One is a great movie to watch if you want to honor the late, great Gene Hackman; it's one of his best films from the late '90s.

Enemy of the State (1998)
Enemy of the State (1998) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers
Sadly, we lost Gene Hackman this year, one of the greatest actors of our time. Relive one of his many great movies, Enemy of the State, in which he stars alongside Will Smith. Hackman is Edward “Brill” Lyle, a talented surveillance expert who frequently works with labor lawyer Robert Clayton Dean (Smith). When Dean finds himself in hot water while working a case against a mob boss that involves the NSA and threatens citizens, he reaches out to Brill for help.
The chemistry between Hackman and Smith is solid in Enemy of the State. The movie was a box office success and earned positive reviews, with critics lauding its writing, direction, and the talented lead cast. If you're looking for a good Hackman film to remember his fantastic film legacy, this one is a good choice before it's gone from the streamer.

Stream Enemy of the State on Amazon Prime Video.
Rampage (2018)
RAMPAGE - OFFICIAL TRAILER 1 [HD]
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson might be making appearances in WWE right now, but he’s still one of the biggest action movie stars with an impressive resume of films, including this one. A sci-fi monster movie, Rampage is about a pathogen that escapes from a space station and makes its way to George (motion captured by Jason Liles), a rare gorilla who grows larger and more menacing. His human friend Davis (Johnson), a former Special Forces soldier who saved George from poachers, must now work with doctor Kate Caldwell (Naomie Harris), who originally developed the pathogen, to try and save George from government capture.
While Rampage received mixed reviews, it was a box-office success. Classify this one as a popcorn flick to watch on a lazy night at home when you just want to turn your brain off and be entertained with stunning visuals and thrilling action sequences.
