Last Action Hero

WORK – Thank you for taking your ticket before you enter

Danny Madigan is passionate about cinema and especially about the adventures of Jack Slater, his favorite action movie hero. Thanks to a magic ticket, the young Danny is trained on the other side of the screen, to live the adventures of his hero. But things get complicated when ill-intentioned people take the magic note...

Tasty burst of humour, d'action and cinemaphilic references, Last Action Hero is an irresistible regressive recreation where actors and scriptwriters give to heart joy. In the realm of self-derision, this unique cult work is the Sovereign!

IMAGE – Is it beautiful on the other side of the screen?

Coming from a new 4K scan, this UHD HDR10 transfer outperforms its HD counterpart.

The 35 mm silver grain is more filmic than ever, the contribution in definition is obvious all along, the details are constantly refined (the freckles of the young New Yorker Danny Madigan, the characteristic outfit of Jack Slater, the background decors), the newly calibrated colorimetric palette is much richer (the sky blue, the green of the vegetation, the red front of the cinema during the preview public) and natural (the carnation), the contrasts have clearly been reinforced (the more frank whites and the better cut blacks) and the different lights are illustrated by a radiance (cf. the gyrophars of the police vehicles during the intro and the reflections of the water at the end) which the all-fade Blu-ray cannot of course reproduce.

SON – Like Leo Zeprout, it sends gas!

Despite the effects that can be dated (pump rifle), here is a Dolby Atmos remix as cartoon as the work he sounds.

Bubbled with gunshots, explosions and rock ‘n The dynamics fly away like the Pontiac Bonneville of the hero, the LFE channel is an actor in its own right, and the sound distribution is well capped (the rear scene comes back as soon as it can). Special mention to high-rise enclosures that are recruited during many key moments (air ballets of helicopters, rain).

Even if powerful and well spatialized, it is difficult to take as much foot (despite a delectable dubbing) in front of the VF DTS-HD MA 5.1!

CONCLUSION – Please wait until the end of the session

Undeserved failure on his release, Last Action Hero today deserves all your support. So it would be a « monumental error » that to let go this neat 4K Ultra HD edited by Sony Pictures!
