I think this was one of those tragic films that only got a short theatrical run before going exclusively to its streaming parent. I saw it in theaters, but haven't seen it since. Good action. Reminds me of Resident Evil Extinction set in the desert.

A disc version would be welcome for many films.

No. Hardly any Netflix movies get released on blu ray. I think its a major mistake by them but they still refuse to do it.

Although weirdly enough you can buy the Netflix movie The Man from Toronto on blu ray and dvd at Walmart. I'm not sure why that got to be a physical release.

I think it might have originally been a Sony movie that Netflix picked so maybe that's why? I might be wrong on that though.

I wish they'd release movies/tv shows on home media. That's an untapped money market that they refuse to take advantage of. I know I'd buy copies of Extraction 1 & 2, Wheelman, Mindhunter and Altered Carbon season 1 just to have them in my collection.

Despite previous reports of its cancellation, Snyder revealed that they’re planning to restart production on the animated spinoff titled Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, which would be based on the opening sequence of the first movie. He added, "We were working on – and are trying to get back up – our Army animated series, which was really cool. We recorded the whole thing, we recorded all the voices – Christian Slater, all these cool people. Super fun."

Okay, let me be perfectly, 100% clear here. I do not like Zack Snyder. His movies are tonedeaf to the source, ubermensch porn, grimdark to the extreme and so goddamned pretentious. I prefer my superman to occasionally smile and save kittens from trees like a boy scout and not, you know, F'ING SNAP A DUDES NECK.

But I digress. Needless to say, me and him do not see eye to eye on films and character.

And yet, despite all that - I do respect him as a visual director. His scripts may be garbage, but dear god can the dude make it look good. That first 15 minutes or so of Dawn of the Dead, the collapse of society told in montage over Johnny Cash is pretty powerful. It's once we get to the actual mall and meet the characters that the wheels fall off. But up to that point, well done Mr Snyder.

So when I heard that his "I want to do Star Wars, but Disney Wont Let Me" movie was out, I figured what the hell. And you know what? I quite enjoyed it. The story is 120% the Seven Samurai/Battle Beyolnd the Stars, the characters are as deep as a teaspoon - but despite itself, I had a good time.

And then I heard a couple of someone's say "Yeah, it was about as good as Army of the Dead and that took all kinds of heat!", so I figured, 'oh sure. What the hell'.

I quite enjoyed it. Again, a black hole of stupid, idiocy compressed into a singularity so powerful that no logic can escape it. But when open with some poor paratrooper just slowly dropping into a hungry mob, you have to smile and go "Yup, gonna be THAT kinda movie."

Okay, so you remember how I said that the DotD opening was note perfect for what the movie was trying to be? Richard Cheese doing Lounge Viva Las Vegas over zombie strippers and zombie Elvises is just as perfect. Fine, I give up. Gimmie whatchyagot movie.

So if Rebel Moon is Seven Samurai in space, then Army of the Dead is just Aliens, but in Vegas. How can it not be with lines like "You don't see them screwing each other" for a percentage of the profit, or how Not Burke threw the team under the bus and then got grabbed. And now Bautista has to go save Late Teens Newt from the bad guy lair with only 9 minutes to reach minimum safe distance.

Yeah, yeah Zack. We all saw it too.

Eh, whatever - yeah, it was derivative, yeah it was paper thin. But I don't regret the time spent watching.

It depends on the origin source. If its a movie they acquired from another studio, there may be a loophole in the home video licensing.
Man from Toronto was originally a SONY movie. Its one of the many studio projects dumped to Netflix during the COVID era.
If it was actually produced by Netflix, its another thing entirely.
