Google’s common platform for movies

- AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

These days, online streaming is one of the best ways to catch up on some of the latest blockbuste­rs. With recognisab­le players such as Google and Amazon providing tempting deals on their impressive collection­s, it isn’t possible to resist from subscribin­g to multiple services simultaneo­usly.

Google has brought a new service that aims to unite the content from all these platforms under one room.

Called Movies Anywhere, the service allows the user to bring together all your purchased movies from the following platforms — Google Play, Amazon, iTunes and Vudu.

If you want to use this service, then you will have to link all your accounts from the supported platforms and you are done. The service will show all of your movies that you have bought or subscribed at one place.

In plain English, you can simply find your copy of Spiderman 2 from Google Play and The Dark Knight from Amazon Prime Video in the same place.

Movies Anywhere can show all the movies you’ve purchased from Disney, Fox, Sony Pictures, Universal and Warner Bros. on Google Play.

The service is currently present in the United States and will come to other countries soon.

To make the service appealing to consumers, Google is offering certain popular Hollywood titles such as Big Hero 6, Ghostbuste­rs (2016), Ice Age, Jason Bourne (2016) and The Lego Movie without any cost if a user links at least two accounts.
