Netflix kicks off 2024 with some high-profile originals, fan favorites, and cinema classics. J.A. Bayona’s Society Of The Snow is based on the true story of the Uruguayan 1972 Andes flight disaster and its 16 survivors. In his directorial debut, Schitt’s Creek actor Dan Levy also wrote and stars in the comedy-drama Good Grief. The German action-drama Sixty Minutes stars Emilio Sakraya as an MMA fighter who has one hour to get to his daughter’s birthday party or risk losing custody of her forever. Other films added to Netflix’s streaming library in January 2024 include Bitconned, Aquaman, Dawn Of The Dead, Gravity, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, The Florida Project, and more.

Aquaman - Official Trailer 1 - Now Playing In Theaters

Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom—currently sinking fast in theaters—is the last gasp of the DCEU. Its 2018 predecessor, starring Jason Momoa, was a much bigger hit during an era not too long ago before superhero fatigue killed the casual moviegoer’s appetite for comic book heroes. The A.V. Club’s : “[Aquaman] zips around the oceans on a jet stream squirted from God-knows-where wearing a leather duster coat and steel-toed boots. A guitar lick plays every time he glares over his shoulder in his first big scene. He has a wallet chain. He is cheesy and fun.”
