The live-action "Masters of the Universe" film is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video as of July 22. The reboot, based on Mattel's toy line, features Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam, also known as He-Man.
The story follows Adam's return to his home planet of Eternia to defend it against the villainous Skeletor, portrayed by Jared Leto. Adam is aided by his childhood friend Teela, played by Camila Mendes, and her father Duncan, a character brought to life by Idris Elba.
Critics have noted the film's embrace of its inherent silliness rather than attempting a darker, more serious tone. In a three-star review, the film was described as "fun, helium light."
