Happy Sunday and welcome back to your complete A-Z listing of everything new on Netflix added between July 3rd through to July 10th.
A quick editor’s note before we dive into some of this week’s hidden gems and this weekend’s new releases. I was on vacation from Thursday through to today so apologies for the delay in publishing daily recaps. Normal service resumes today!
Best New Releases on Netflix This Week
12 Strong (2018)
Genre: Action, Drama, History
Director: Nicolai Fuglsig
Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Peña
Writer: Ted Tally, Peter Craig, Doug Stanton
Runtime: 130 min
Added over the weekend is yet another movie in the Chris Hemsworth library of movies now streaming on Netflix.
Released four years ago, this movie is set shortly after the 9/11 attacks and sees one of the first squads of troops headed to Afghanistan to try and take down those that carried out the attacks.
Reviews were ultimately mixed for the movie at the time of release. Empire Magazine liked it, however, saying the movie was “An effective – if overly simplistic – neo-Western that’s eventually carried over the line by a sparky ensemble cast.”
The Spectacular Spider-Man (Season 1)
Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure
Cast: Josh Keaton, Lacey Chabert, Joshua LeBar
Writer: Victor Cook, Steve Ditko, Stan Lee
Runtime: 23 min
Picture: Sony Pictures Television
An unexpected license over the weekend is all 26 episodes across 2 seasons of The Spectacular Spider-Man which ran between 2008 and 2009.
Here’s what you can expect from the shortlived series:
“This 21st-century edition of animated adventures charts the exploits of Peter Parker, who becomes Spider-Man as a result of a radioactive spider bite.”
Also Spidey fans, you’ll be receiving the best Spider-man movie to date (no alternative opinions allowed) in the form of Spider-Man 2 which is coming on August 1st, 2022.
The Sea Beast (2022)
Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy
Director: Chris Williams
Cast: Karl Urban, Dan Stevens, Jared Harris
Writer: Nell Benjamin, Chris Williams
Runtime: 115 min
Given we missed our daily recap on Friday, we have to now feature Netflix’s most ambitious animated movie to date here.
Reviews have been absolutely glowing over the weekend for the new movie that comes from former Disney-alum, Chris Williams with it now carrying the coveted “certified fresh” rating on RottenTomatoes.
Here’s what the critic’s consensus says:
“An original animated tale that’s often as daring as its characters, The Sea Beast sends audiences on a voyage well worth taking.”
If you’re looking for some more suggestions from us, we’ve got TV and movie recs ready for you right now. Want to look ahead? We’ve just published the next 7 days on Netflix US here.
So far in July 2022, Netflix US has added 14 new TV series and 57 new movies.
