WORK - Eden Plissken in marginals
Following a terrible virus that annihilated 90% of Scotland's population, an impassable wall was built to stem the epidemic. When he reappeared in the heart of London 30 years later, a commando went to search for a possible vaccine on those lands that had become barbaric and violent...
Ultra referenced (Warriors of the Night, Mad Max 2, New York 1997, Aliens, etc.), this post-apocalyptic post-apocalyptic action melting-pot with frenetic rhythm is aimed primarily at fans of the 1980s cinema bis. Indigests sometimes but especially fun and deviant with her heroine badass at the Snake Plissken (athletic and charming Rhona Mitra), his strongholds well bourrines, his violence inside and his script refusing nothing (of the great anything assumed), this tambouille concocted by Neil Marshall is nothing less than Italian post-nuke (The Bronx Warriors, 2019 Manhattan Apocalypse) dressed in modernism.
« This is our city! Whoever they send here, we're gona catch them! We're gonna cook them! And we're going to eat them! »
IMAGE - Scotland's wild charm
From a 4K scan of the original 35 mm negative, this calibrated Dolby Vision restoration is presented to us by Scream Factory on a UHD transfer in reinforced concrete, which puts a spanked violence (great improvements in all areas) to its counterpart 1080p published during the summer 2008 in the United States via Universal. Not possessing the French edition M6 Video The comparison was made with his American colleague in the same year.
The HEVC encoding is impeccable, the silver texture is much better restored with fine and neat granularity, the level of detail is otherwise more precise (the lesions on the skin of the infected, the disrepair of the decorations, tattoos and other tribal makeups of the cannibals, the background craze, textile fibres) and the highlighting of the elements of the frame works more thanks to WCG and HDR technology.
Less fad and warmer, the richly saturated colorimetric palette benefits from revived hues (blood, greenery, the bluish night atmosphere) and a more natural chromatic reproduction immediately visible on the carnation, healthier.
For example, contrasts are significantly improved. The deeper and more detailed blacks cut the dark and the brighter whites much better, giving the light sources the opportunity to gain in intensity (the rays of the sun, the projectors and headlights of armoured vehicles, the flashlights).
SOUND - 1 2 3 4 Dog Punk 🎶
Made of noise and fury, the VO DTS-HD MA 5.1 under 24-bit (its down-mix 2.0 is available for those not equipped with a multichannel system) is a tough track where everything is nothing but chaos. For subtlety, we'll come back... But for the acoustic show, you are at the right address!
The dynamics are dizzying (a demonstration of force as soon as it moves on the screen), the countless effects (carambolages, shots, explosions, screams), the completely insane spatialization (the rear gives to heart joy) and the dialogues always clear even though the ambient cacophony rages. All in bass and synthesizer notes, the score of Tyler Bates envelope with a remarkable magnitude.
CONCLUSION - Across the Wall
In this « Escape from Scotland » where Snake Plissken is gaule like Lara Croft (the actress was chosen by Eidos Interactive to embody the character during the promo of the video game Tomb Raider 2), the barbaric fresco contaminated by SF ensures serious in entertainment style « discharge »... Especially as in 4K Ultra HD, thanks to muscular A/V performances, a surplus of testosterone unfurl generously.
