Is it Blink Twice is it worth seeing?

Despite a slow exit to the theatergrossing approximately $46.3 million against a production budget of $20 million, Blink Twice opened to largely positive reviews. It just goes to show that box office numbers don’t tell the whole story. You might have a massive theatrical release, but if the audience doesn’t like it, what’s the point?

With a 75 percent critic and 70 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Blink Twice it’s definitely worth a look. Puchko said that its plot and aesthetic details are influenced by 2019. Ready or not and there are visual nods to I spit on your grave. “But Kravitz uses familiar pieces to build his foundation, then creates an exhilarating fresh adventure that feels of its time. Rather than an imitator of these films, he feels like a kindred spirit, using his screams to convey a message that is achingly timeless”.

She finally concludes: “Blink Twice it’s a knockout.”

Is it Blink Twice streaming?

Following a similar streaming schedule to the Amazon MGM Studios film Challengers, Blink Twice made its streaming debut MGM + on November 21 and expanding its streaming release to Prime Video on January 21. Since the same streaming service of MGM (formerly EPIX) is owned by Amazon, it will probably remain on both streamers.

That gives you two ways to stream Blink Twice and two ways you can potentially watch for free. Check out the best MGM+ and Prime Video deals below.

Can I get MGM+ for free?

If you’re new to MGM+, you can enjoy the streaming service for free for a week MGM+ directly or as one add-on via Prime Video. If you’re a Prime member and want to condense your streaming services (and future payments) into one place, the add-on is a great option. If you prefer to keep things separate, it’s best to sign up directly through MGM+. However, if you align your seven-day process to the release of Blink Twiceyou should be able to stream for free.

The best MGM+ streaming deals

Save $5/month: MGM+ monthly subscription

Until January 2, you can sign up for MGM+ for just $1.99 per month for your first two months through MGM+ directly or as a Prime Video add-on. After the promotional period, your account will be charged the full price for MGM+, which is currently $6.99 per month. Be sure to cancel before the end of the promotion period to avoid that charge.

Save 30%: MGM+ Annual Membership

As a relatively unknown streaming service compared to, for example, Prime Video or Netflix, MGM+ is not exactly full of great options. All hope is not lost, however. If you want to save some money, your best option is to sign up for the annual subscription versus the monthly subscription. Save 30% by paying for a year in advance, which is a pretty big savings compared to annual subscriptions from other streamers.

Save $1.99/month: Sign up for MGM+ via Sling TV

If you’d rather just sign up for a month and call it quits, subscribing to MGM+ through Sling TV can save you $1.99. There is no need to pay for Sling’s basic plan. Just go to the MGM landing page on the Sling website and you can sign up for just $5 per month. If you want to sign up for a basic package through Sling (Orange or Blue), you can also score a free month of MGM+.

Can I get Prime Video for free?

If you’re not currently a Prime Video subscriber, then you are! You can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime to test the waters if you’re new or returning after a while. During your trial period, you’ll still have full access to Prime benefits, including Prime Video. This means you can watch Blink Twice for free if you plan your trial around its streaming release on the service.

When your trial period ends, you will be charged the full price for a Prime membership, which is currently $14.99 per month. Be sure to cancel before the month is up if you want to avoid those charges.

The best Prime Video streaming deals

Save $6/month: Prime Video only

If you don’t want or need all the extra benefits of being a Prime member, you can simply subscribe to Prime Video as a standalone service instead for just $8.99 per month. It’s $6 a month cheaper than getting a full membership.

Naturally, Amazon makes it unnecessarily complicated to sign up for Prime Video on your own. When you go to sign up for a subscription, you have to select the option to “see more plans” or “change plans” and navigate to the option for Prime Video itself. Just like a full Prime membership, you can always cancel whenever you want with no strings attached.

Save 22%: Annual membership to Amazon Prime

Another way you can save some money is by paying for an annual Prime membership instead of monthly. Enjoy the benefits of being a Prime member, including access to Prime Video, for a whole year. And instead of paying $14.99 per month, you’ll only pay $139 up front, which comes down to just $11.59 per month. That’s about 22% or $40 in savings.

Save 50%: First for young adults

If you’re between the ages of 18 and 24 or you’re a college student, you can score a six-month free trial to Prime and a half-price subscription. All you have to do is verify your age or student status and unlock the world of Prime, including Prime Video. After the six-month trial ends, it will cost only $7.49 per month instead of the usual $14.99.
