Amazon Prime Video subscribers who are also fans of Star Trek have a lot to be happy about in January. As early as New Year’s Day, five of the films featuring the original crew — Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country — will stream on Prime. And for fans of the franchise’s The Next Generation era, 1998’s Star Trek: Insurrection begins streaming the same day.
But if your action tastes lean more in the storied past than the distant future, you won’t be left in the cold. The same day Prime starts streaming all things Star Trek, you can watch 2009’s Sherlock Holmes. Starring Robert Downey Jr. as the titular hero and Jude Law as his stalwart partner Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes modernized the 19th-century sleuth with action and sex appeal.
If swords and sorcery are more your deal, or you just jump at any chance to see Jason Momoa without his shirt, you can watch 2011’s Conan the Barbarian staring January 6.
