It might seem wishful thinking to start this thread, but with Netflix announcing newly produced films each week, and with the new and growing market of Premium video on demand (the expensively priced digital rentals of films that would otherwise be released at the cinema) it seems like there should be room for a thread like this. And who knows, maybe later in the year we'll be back in the cinema. A lot of studios seem to think so with their new line ups for later this year.
I myself rented the PVOD Wonder Woman 1984. It's the first PVOD film I've rented, and I did so despite/because I saw it at the depot just before Christmas. I was unsure how I felt and wasn't sure how much was due to the strangeness of tiered areas, and heading to Lewes to watch a film instead of the Marina, or if I had the wrong expectations etc. I've seen some positive reviews and some negative ones, so I wanted to check it out again.
I actually really enjoyed it on second viewing (and third - it's £16, and once you've started to watch it, you have 48hrs access to it, so I wanted to get my money's worth/monies worth?). It's not flawless, but I definitely enjoyed it a lot more than my first viewing.
Also, a film 2021 thread seems like a good place to put trailers for films that probably don't really deserve their own threads:
