Krypton Decoded– The 13 year-old Clark Kent gives us a “tour” of Krypton, the home world of Superman.
I wouldn’t consider myself a Superman “nut” but I’ve seen every big screen adaptation and I have to say that this is, by far, my favorite version. Granted it’s nice to not have the same story rehashed again and again, so it was a nice change of pace to get a different perspective on… everything. I was at first very dubious as to the casting of Henry Cavill, though I’d enjoyed him in Immortals, I wondered if he had the chops to pull this roll off. He did. While Amy Adams isn’t the best Lois Lane, I think she did a fine job here. But let’s get real – this is all about Superman. No doubt Warner is trying to reboot this franchise – again – and I think they might be onto something here. They won’t let Batman go and with 2015’s Batman vs. Superman already filming, the wheels are literally in motion. Usually I might add something like “this movie isn’t for everyone…” but I won’t say that here. This is a classic re-telling of a classic superhero that’s perfectly fit for a new generation. Not many movies that are 140 minutes feel like they go by in about 30, but this is one of them. Suffice it to say that this is highly recommended. Video: How’s it look?The last son of Krypton takes a giant, impressive jump forward and makes a smooth landing on Ultra HD Blu-ray in a blaze of fiery explosions and apocalyptic destruction. Compared to its Blu-ray counterpart, unfortunately, the results are not exactly leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor, which is not to say fans won't be able to note any visible improvements between the two, of which there are a several. Shot with a combination of traditional 35mm film and the Red Epic digital camera system for a few action sequences, the elements were mastered in 2K digital intermediate, and I suspect Warner Bros. did a simple unconvert of that master. The regrettable effects of that are some negligible hints of aliasing along the sharpest edges of buildings, thin structures and a top computer monitors. This also causes some very mild posterization in the faces of the cast, who sometimes appear pasty and drained, but for the most part, flesh tones appear natural with a realistic rosiness during several conversations in daylight. Personally, I love that the filmmakers would be so bold to do this — to have the otherwise seemingly perfect Übermensch(the philosophical concept that essentially inspired Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster) question his very existence in an imperfect world. This central dilemma is wonderfully encapsulated by the lessons of Clark's father and Lois Lane's (Amy Adams in a role dramatically different from the comics) untiring search for the mystery man who saved her life while she was snooping around a military base in the Arctic. When questioning her pursuit, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, editor of "The Daily Planet," puts it very succinctly and frankly, a question that in turn reveals a major flaw within us as a supposedly open-minded civilization. This, in turn, places Lois in a dilemma that complements the script's central theme.
One of the reasons that Man of Steel works so well, is that Henry Cavill disappears nicely into the title role, and absolutely owns it here. For all the complaints some fans have with this film, Cavill’s take on Superman isn’t one of them. What's more, Michael Shannon’s Zod isn’t simply a megalomaniac; he’s deeply motivated to believe that his destructive cause is just. And here at last is a version of Lois Lane who’s intelligent and trustworthy, who looks before she leaps and who Superman can actually rely on. Amy Adams manages to do something unexpected – make her Lois an active, important participant in the story, who’s also the key to Crowe’s Jor-El remaining active in the story too.Steel, to its gradually expanding UHD roster. Unlike BvS, however, Man of Steel in 4K doesn't offer All-Out Action– We get a peek into some of the training that went into the lead actors’ (Crowe evidently lost 40 lbs. for his part) as well as some general information about the film and effects therein. This Ultra HD/4K version doesn’t contain any new supplements and the disc itself is featureless, the extras are from the previously-released single disc set, though the extras from the two-disc set are available, albeit from a web-based source.
New Zealand: Home of Middle-Earth– Uh, ok. Either this is an error of some sort of Warner is really pushing The Hobbit. Man of Steel was the first for a long time a film about Superman, who collected an impressive cash register and was able to give hope for an excellent continuation. "Man from Steel" became a kind of "Batman: The Beginning" for the films about Superman. In this picture, Clark Kent still knows very little, understands little, and it is difficult for him to realize that he is not like everyone else. This film is about the beginning of the path of the most powerful superhero on Earth, which has become a symbol of truth and hope for all mankind. me no room to increase that score for the Dolby Atmos home-theater remix offered on UHD, but I would if I The movie has some flaws to me for sure ( i don't know about a perfect movie) but i will not comment about that as i believe everyone need to discover by themselves what - if any- dislike for their preferences.English SDH, French, German SDH, Italian SDH, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Korean, Mandarin (Simplified), Mandarin (Traditional), Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Swedish, Turkish.
