How To Watch Adam Driver's 65 At Home
Scott Beck and Bryan Woods made quite the name for themselves when "A Quiet Place" hit theaters in 2018. As the writers of the film, they had a massive hit on their hands, and one that has gone on to spawn an entire franchise. But they've since moved on to directing as well, with their latest movie an equally ambitious sci-fi feature in the form of "65." Starring Adam Driver in the lead role, the duo finally gave modern audiences a big dinosaur movie that was divorced from the "Jurassic Park" franchise (read our review here). And for those who would like to see that action unfold on their TV from the comfort of home, we've got some good news for you.
The film in question is arriving on Digital this month, meaning it will be available in just a few clicks following its theatrical run. Additionally, the movie will be coming to Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD for those among us who are still collecting physical media. So, either way, you'll be covered. Let's get into the specifics and give you the details for each respective release.
65 hits Digital on May 2
Sony Pictures is set to release "65" on Digital on May 2, 2023. The movie was made available on premium VOD several weeks prior, meaning viewers have been able to rent it for $19.99. But now, they will have the option to purchase a digital copy, in addition to renting it, offering a bit more flexibility, both in terms of price and commitment. It will be available through virtual retailers such as Prime Video, Vudu, Apple TV, Google Play, and others. Simply pick your poison and stream away. For those who may need a refresher, the synopsis for the film reads as follows:
After a catastrophic crash on an unknown planet, pilot Mills (Adam Driver) quickly discovers he's actually stranded on Earth ... 65 million years ago. Now, with only one chance at rescue, Mills and the only other survivor, Koa (Ariana Greenblatt), must make their way across an unknown terrain riddled with dangerous prehistoric creatures in an epic fight to survive.
As for when the movie will be on a major streaming service? Sony has a deal with Netflix that will see its movies arriving on the service several months after they finish their runs in theaters. So expect to see it on Netflix later this year.
What about the Blu-ray?
"65" is, additionally, set to arrive on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD on May 30, 2023. That means anyone planning to pick up a physical copy will have to exercise a bit more patience. Prices will vary a bit from retailer to retailer, but Amazon, as of this writing, has the 4K listed at $24.99, while the Blu-ray is going for $22.96, and the DVD is priced at $19.96. The disc will come with several bonus features as well, and here's a breakdown:
-
Deleted & Extended Scenes
-
Creating the world of "65"

Primordial Planet
-
Final Showdown: Concepts to screen

And more!
Unfortunately, it sounds like there may not be a commentary track, but that is no longer a guarantee like it was in the era of peak DVD sales. These days, a physical release isn't even a guarantee. So it goes.
The film was produced by Sam Raimi, Deborah Liebling, Zainab Azizi, Beck, and Woods, with Maryann Brandon, Doug Merrifield, Jason Cloth, and Aaron L. Gilbert serving as executive producers.
