Gemini Man

WORK – No, but say, is it good or not?

Henry Brogan, a professional killer, is suddenly targeted and pursued by a mysterious and young agent who can predict each of his movements.

Accepted (the script) but devilishly effective (the action scenes), this SF thriller that smells good in the 1990s is a very distracting B series, where the face-to-face between the Will Smiths certainly overshadows the theme of cloning (delivered in two sentences) but benefits from a technical virtuosity (the staging and technological innovations – 3D HFR 120 fps + De‐Aging -) that is truly quaint. Despite old strings, the entertainment of the future is there!

IMAGE – Everyone's beautiful, are you sure?

Second edition of the market to offer HFR 60 fps after One day in Billy Lynn's life (the previous film from Ang Lee), this 4K Ultra HD invites us to a visual show of hyperrealism to « if the retina is removed ».

And to help them in this noble task, compression follows the pace without browing, the definition is highly superior to HD transfer, the WCG enhances the vitality of the primary while maintaining the natural appearance of the colors, and the HDR strengthens the contrasts (the film is brighter) in addition to considerably intensifying the lighting of all the sequences.

SON – He who has ears to hear, hear!

With a fierce dynamic (the impact of the shots) and ultra-realistic spatialisation (the « sound objects » The Dolby Atmos soundtrack, reserved for the VO (the VF is much less physical and immersive) is an acoustic demonstration of every moment.

Multichannel activity is incessant, with channels of height included (passage of an aircraft, « jumping a motorcycle »The LFE channel is extremely well used for serious and infra-graves (especially stirring), and voices enjoy a beautiful presence.

CONCLUSION – Every good thing has an end...

For the curious new technologies, the Ultra HD Blu-ray edition makes it possible to get a good baffe in 4K 60 fps... From « Never seen » (or almost) at home!
