WORK - The man of space against big dinos

After a terrible crash on an unknown planet, the Mills pilot quickly discovers that he actually failed on Earth... 65 million years ago. To succeed in their only chance of rescue, Mills and Koa, the only other survivor of the crash, must make their way through unknown lands populated by dangerous prehistoric creatures.

At crossing After Earth and Jurassic Park, 65: The Earth Before The adventure in marked terrain (predictable scenario, cliché characters) and misses his promise by following a way far too public (soft violence, few dinosaurs to get under the tooth). But if it does not revolutionize the genre, this survival of SF which prefers the drama to the action (correctly put in the picture) is followed without displeasure (successful visuals, tight pace) and has the merit of giving back to our large carnivorous reptiles their identity as dangerous predators (in contrast to the last one). Jurassic World where they were as scary as a Chihuahua at a Chanel parade).

IMAGE - The Lost World

Captured at a 6K resolution with Sony's VENICE digital camera and finalized in 4K, the image worked by Salvatore Totino (a fadasse photograph without an ounce of identity even so pleasantly cinematic in its rendering) is returned with the utmost care by this UHD Dolby Vision transfer close to perfection (a little noise here and there even if better managed than on the Blu-ray).

The details are clearer (precision of close-up planes, textures of the skin, clarity of environments), the deeper colorimetric palette (terrous shades, carnation) with more vibrant primary (including reds and blues), reinforced contrasts (a boon since much of the action takes place at night) with deeper blacks and brighter whites, and enhanced light sources (sweetness, sunlight, gun flashes, computer terminal intensity, torches heat, meteorite flaming).

65: La Terre d'avant

SON - It was at the time of dinosaurs 🎶

Barded with effects and atmospheres (the forest environment comes to life), the enveloping and stunning Dolby Atmos track will push your HC installation into its last cuts.

The soundscape is lush (the fauna and flora are palpable), the monster dynamics (the emergency landing), the field surround engaged, the deceiving aerial scene (reverberations in the cave, the fall of meteorites, the roaring of giant reptiles), the clear dialogues, the powerfully delivered score (composed by Chris Bacon in collaboration with Danny Elfman) and huge bass (with many impacts at the bottom of the spectrum).

Less committed spatially and stunned by monotonous dubbing, the VFQ proposed in DTS-HD MA 5.1 is nonetheless very spectacular.

CONCLUSION - A fossil to dig up?

Piloted by the writer duo behind No noise , this harmless B-series entertainment finds biting on 4K Ultra HD support thanks to A/V services that roar with pleasure! But isn't it time to let dinosaurs rest in peace?

Nyctalope like Riddick and with a very good hearing, I am ready to jump on physical editions and SVOD platforms. But if the quality isn't on the rendezvous, stop at the bite! #WeLovePhysicalMedia
