The way we consumed movies fundamentally changed in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but even as theaters have slowly begun to reopen, streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video remain a primary way most people watch films in 2021.
The shift led to studios postponing many 2020 blockbusters, and although the critical favorites for 2020 reflect a less spectacle-filled slate of films than in 2019, this year, studios have begun to unleash the cache of IMAX-friendly material that had been building up in the vaults. But among the superheroes and monsters, plenty of intimate sleeper hits have broken through.
Available on Netflix since February,
Sisyphus is a Korean sci-fi series that focuses on a time travel story between a genius engineer Han Tae-Sul (Cho Seung-Woo) and his savior from the future Kang Seo-Hae (Park Shin-Hye). Rarely seen by female leads, Seo-Hae exhibits impressive close combat fighting and a variety of shooting skills.
Sisyphus is packed with action and inspiring female empowerment.
