WORK - Community of broken arms
A handsome kid thief and a bunch of unlikely adventurers are taking an epic break to recover a lost relic. But things go wrong when they attract the lightnings of bad people...
Designed by the « MD » John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein in the colossal lore of « D&D » (his rules, his classes, his spells, his weapons, his creatures, his places, his treasures, etc.), this part enraged by generous adventures (especially in Outreterre) and amusing gags (turned towards self-derision) embarks players (backstories worked) as enthusiastic as they attach to an adventure full of bonhomy to magical staging (there is no shortage of good ideas). Now that the nanardish countryside is completed (the trilogy of the years 2000-2010), excavating blockbuster who opened his toy chest without losing his soul. Name of a dwarf beard, the surprise is big!
IMAGE - Pot-pourri of fantasy
Demonstrative as possible, this UHD Dolby Vision transfer to fearsome compression (the noise, certainly negligible, present on the Blu-ray has simply disappeared) chooses photography filled with life Barry Peterson.
The wide frame abounds with even more textures (cf. the increased clarity of landscapes) and the details appear with greater sharpness (face hair, skin pores, armament, trimmings, interior decoration, exterior environments).
The wonderful colorimetric palette takes advantage of more striking hues (the lush green vegetation, the yellow sleeves of the bewitcher Simon, the magical blue portal, the red hair of the Druidesse Doric) and a healthier carnation, the contrasts that are more balanced discreetly darken the image (for a stronger rendering) in order to pour a good layer of additional precision to blacks (without background) and whites (brighter), and the light sources come to make more sparks as soon as supernatural artifacts and/or the aura of magic come into the scene.
SON - The lute of adventure
Also tumultuous (the agitation during the action scenes) as surprisingly subtle (the sound of environments), the soundtrack Dolby Atmos (reserved for the VO) sets fire despite an LFE channel that could have hit harder (even if the escape from a gigantic dodu reptile remains memorable in this register).
Incredibly active at the back and enjoying a fearless dynamic, it spreads its effects and other fantastic atmospheres here and there with as much clarity as with mobility. The dialogues are well centered at the front, the acoustic landscape presents a superb richness, the layer of height regularly swallows us (magic is projected, dragons fly, the cave unfolds its echoes and debris collapses) and the Celtic score of Lorne Balfe benefits from a significant definition.
Less orderly in space, however, the VF encoded in Dolby Digital 5.1 does not lack any vigour (energy as power is there) or degility (spaceization remains there). On the other hand, big disappointment about the absence of the song Imprise (interpreted by Mylene Farmer) at the end credits.
CONCLUSION - Honour is safe!
Risen with a launch of « Mighty Dice » winner, film license Dongeons and Dragons comes back from afar (remember Jeremy Irons' digital boil and hallucinated performance in the 2000 opus) with this collective epic, both generous and sincere, that respects its basic material. Now it is to be hoped that the spectacular A/V performances of this 4K Ultra HD give visibility to this perfectly assumed entertainment having not had the attention he deserved in the dark rooms.
