Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead” is the first Netflix movie to get a wide theatrical release, starting this Friday, May 14, a week ahead of its debut on the streaming service. But it’s hard to imagine a bigger, more action-packed and sumptuous (if gory) spectacle to launch this pandemic-necessitated partnership between traditional business rivals.
Reopening theaters need flashy content to lure back customers, especially as newer streamers are moving in on Netflix’s turf (even Snyder’s “Justice League” director’s cut was released straight to streaming on HBO Max). Plus, Snyder’s first zombie film since his debut feature, the 2004 remake of “Dawn of the Dead,” is his most enjoyable in 17 years as well.

Zack Snyder’s come a long way since he made his feature directorial debut with the remake of
Dawn of the Dead. Boasting a script by a then-unknown James Gunn, the movie was a surprise hit, even winning over those who thought a remake of the George A. Romero classic was sacrilege. From there Snyder shot into the stratosphere with
300,
Watchmen, and his dramatic detour into the DCEU. Zombies seemed to be in the rearview mirror for a while until, after a bad experience on
Justice League, Snyder opted to work on something he’d have more creative control over. The result is his big-budget first film for Netflix,
