Best New Movies & Shows on Netflix Australia This Week
Rambo: Last Blood
Director: Adrian Grunberg
Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Paz Vega, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Adriana Barraza, Yvette Monreal, Genie Kim
Rambo sits among the most recognizable characters in the world and got a reboot in 2019 with Sylvester Stallone returning to play the ruthless mercenary.
By most accounts, it’s a very watchable movie too not falling into the traps of many other revivals in recent years. With that said, critics were far less kind to the movie with The Guardian saying it was “cringemakingly written and clunkily directed”.
Masters of the Universe: Revelation (Season 1)
Cast: Mark Hamill, Lena Headey, Chris Wood, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Liam Cunningham, Stephen Root
Today sees the worldwide release of the absolutely stunningly beautiful new series that picks up where the original He-man series left off.
Although attracting some controversy, here’s what you can expect from the new series which sees its first 5 episodes added today:
“After a calamitous battle fractures Eternia, Teela and an unlikely alliance must prevent the end of the Universe in this sequel to the ’80s classic.”
A Second Chance: Rivals! (2021)
Director: Clay Glen
Cast: Emily Morris, Stella Shute, Eva Grados, India Colombi, Nina Pearce, Adam Tuominen
Dropping today as a Netflix Original around the world is the Australian-produced family sports movie that arrives just in time for the Olympics.
It follows a woman who was unable to get to the Olympic games in her youth but has found a new lease of life coaching young gymnasts.
