12. Army of the Dead (2021)

Zack Snyder’s zombie heist film had the look and feel of a summer blockbuster. The neon-lit Las Vegas setting was rich in detail, but much of that was lost on smaller screens. The wide-angle cinematography and large-scale set pieces, including a sequence with a zombie tiger, were designed for a theatrical experience. The action, featuring shootouts and hand-to-hand combat with undead hordes, would have been far more exciting in a packed theater with immersive sound.
