Ridley Scott’s epic action historical drama, Napoleon has a confirmed video-on-demand and digital release date.

The Apple Original / Sony Pictures Entertainment release will be available from tomorrow Tuesday 9th January. From the usual online Digital  retailers and Sony Home Entertainment’s Video On Demand service.

We are still waiting on word when the film will stream on Apple TV+. Apple have taken the same approach as their other major Apple Original release Killers Of The Flower Moon.

The film has received a mix of positive and negative reviews grossing over $200 million worldwide at the box office. We had 2 reviews with Clotilde Chinnici calling the film ‘forgettable despite the stunning battle scenes‘. In the second review Simon Lalji did enjoy it slightly better, saying ‘ Napoleon certainly has entertainment value thanks to its stars; however, it’s dragged down by a series of odd choices and an inability to develop its characters’.

Napoleon is a spectacle-filled action epic that details the checkered rise and fall of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, played by Oscar®-winner Joaquin Phoenix. Against a stunning backdrop of large-scale filmmaking orchestrated by legendary director Ridley Scott, the film captures Bonaparte’s relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his one true love, Josephine, showcasing his visionary military and political tactics against some of the most dynamic practical battle sequences ever filmed.

Napoleon will be available from the usual Digital platforms from 9th January.
