WORK – The Titans' Apex!
At a time when monsters travel the Earth, and as humanity struggles for its future, Godzilla and King Kong, the two most powerful forces of nature, collide in an unprecedented spectacular battle. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission in unknown terrain, and discovers clues about the origins of the Titans, a human plot threatens to eradicate these creatures – whether good or bad – from the surface of the planet.
Apotheosis of the MonsterVerse, this pure blockbuster that fills the face of it is not there to revolutionize a recipe but rather to trigger dantesque confrontations supported by controlled special effects. And if the (beast) scenario is only a pretext (not always clear) and the (non-existent) human characters of living archetypes, castagna-like « monstrous » Promised by the title (explicit) is more present than ever!
IMAGE – Kong, the eighth wonder of the world
Digitally captured in 3.4K and 6.5K, these absolutely beautiful images are perfectly restored by an exceptional UHD Dolby Vision transfer (or HDR10+ depending on your hardware).
They are coated with blinding neon, all more colourful than each other and endowed with a heavyweight definition, they display without any compressive worries with a combination of ultra-fine details (cf. the texture of Kong fur or Godzilla scales), bright colors at significant depth (primarys are bright at wish during night scenes in Hong Kong), punchy contrasts never taken on reverse (blacks are abyssal and dazzling whites) and extremely bright reflections.
As off next door, the Blu-ray is far from reaching the lavish visual proposal of this 4K Ultra HD. A reference!
SON – Who's the strongest?
Impressive all along, this Dolby Atmos soundtrack (VO like VF) takes us to the heart of the action...
Very powerful and dreadful precision, it is full of effects « aggressive » It is distributed over all the enclosures allocated to it. The dialogues are clear, the enraged dynamics, the complete atmospheres, the inspired score, the colossal infra-graves (I rarely felt such a burden during the impacts!), the stunning vertical component (the fauna and flora on the island of the Skull, the alarms in the centres of Apex, the fall of debris, the atomic breath of the King of Monsters or the rain) and the surrounding canals in permanent activity. A demonstration of strength!
CONCLUSION – Pacific Zilla!
Taking all his promises as the titanic show he accompanies, this Ultra HD Blu-ray will give you a nasty punch!
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

Thanks for the test !!
So a nice top demo on the technical side, the "artistic" side will make me wait for a beautiful promo to come to garnish the physical collection....
No deception about the goods in fact. 😉
I just watched this movie in the Family and actually it's a powerful movie in every sense of the word.On my 83 A90J combined with an oppo 205 Audiocom Signature. Grandiose . We still have to put our brains off, but history doesn't matter.
We agree.
