WORK – Larger, stronger, less protective
After all that he experienced was difficult, Michael Bryce, the former fallen bodyguard, needed a break. Thus he finds himself in a therapeutic stay on the Italian coast, with instructions to stay away from all violence and not to approach any weapons... It was counted without Darius Kincaid, the hit man who gave life to his life, and Sonia, his delightful wife heavily armed. Happy holidays, Michael!
Three more regressive explosive trip, this suite where the action and the potache jokes come up from all sides is savored like an ultra-rhythmous comic strip with well-accepted overbidding and mischievous characters (in freewheel, actors give to heart joy). Totally decomplexed and « chaotic », this summer entertainment is really cool.
IMAGE – A triple-A bodyguard
Despite the rather soft CGIs, but this is also the case on the Blu-ray, this clean and vibrant Dolby Vision UHD transfer is simply incredible!
The improvement of resolution (DI 4K obliges) allows for a significant increase in details (the close-up facial features, the fineness of the background, the textures of the accessories), the use of the WCG allows the colorimetric palette to be much more vivid (the primary ones, from the blue sky to the red blood, come out of the screen) and nuanced (the amber interiors), and the presence of the HDR technology greatly accentuates contrasts (cf. the depth of the blacks and the shine of the whites) such as lighting (the atmosphere of nightlife, flames, daylight, reflections on the bodywork, etc.).
SOUND – Tick Tock Motherf***Er!
Powered by the regular engagement of its surrounding channels (pyrotechnic effects + environmental atmospheres) and the presence of its aerial scene (overflight of helicopters, the resonance of the shots, the debris falls), this stunning Dolby Atmos soundtrack with boiling dynamics, clear voices and heavy bass (it falls well, explosions grow soaring!) is split into a sound design whose overabundance (including a detonating score) is the master word.
Less « violent » and somewhat diminished, the VFQ nevertheless continues to provide an immersive sound performance to the rich acoustic variety... It must also be said that the film lends itself fully.
CONCLUSION – Three is even better?
Even more crazy and inflated with a Salma Hayek, the 50th thundering, marrys completely curved, this 2nd opus full of adrenaline is adorned with a first-rate technical presentation (the image looks great and the 3D audio track is full of vigor) in 4K Ultra HD. Put an end to your sabbatical leave and return to service!
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
