WORK - One Last Ride
Peter Quill, still in the shock of a terrible loss, must join his team and embark on a risky mission to defend the universe and save Rocket's life. Meanwhile, a new unpredictable force threatens to bring down the Guardians for good.
As she explores the deep traumas of her endearing characters, this third adventure of our space marginals finds the recipe James Gunn (invigorating action + palpable emotion + deceitful humour + bloated universe) enhanced by a huge layer of tragedy. More human and celebrating the singularity of everyone, this conclusion that throws away (the special effects are here of quality) is just as fun as it is heartbreaking. We'll miss these privateers...
IMAGE - The sky is blue
Captured exclusively with digital cameras Red (6K and 8K) but displaying a beautiful silver texture (more supplied than in HD) added in post-production, the images of this UHD HDR10 transfer, resulting from a DI 4K and alternating ratios (2.39 and 1.90 IMAX), benefit from a notable increase in details (the backgrounds in the background, the fur of animals, scarifications on Drax's face, the textile fiber of the various outfits) without however denying the (relative) softness of all cinematic photography.
Darker than in CSD but with much better management of high luminances (flames, rays of light behind clouds, reflections on metal surfaces, artificial lighting) without pushing too much light intensity (a measured average of 208 nits), they display more assertive contrasts (cf. the realism of blacks when encountering the Abilisks). As for colorimetry, a little warmer on the whole spectrum, it adds richness to many shades (the orange-coloured walls on OrgoCorp, the golden carnation of the Sovereigns, the spatial combinations with vintage colors). Even if the compression is solid (no artefact or color banding), it is clear that the flow is not very high (an average bitrate of 43 Mbps).
I'm called goodbye.
While it is necessary to increase the volume to taste all the flavors, this 3D soundtrack does not suffer from the syndrome « Dolby Atmouse » Since dynamics (insured) and bass (physical) are not at all weighted.
And taking advantage of a perfectly scripted verticality (Rocket that works on the ceiling with its gravitational boots, ships that regularly fly over the action, electrical projections during a short circuit, etc.) that the Blu-ray's DTS-HD MA 7.1 mixing cannot dispatch, it amplifies the immersion generated by an already prominent horizontal stratum (ambient sounds and pyrotechnic effects abound in both front and back). The voices that can walk from one speaker to another are clear and the Awesome Mix of John Murphy (coupled with an eclectic soundtrack) particularly enveloping.
Despite a less rampant spatialization (wherein the interest of enabling a virtual DSP to recover some information in the heights) and a diminished power, the VF Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 remains a very engaging soundtrack with rather cool dubbing.
CONCLUSION - See you in space, Guardians...
Best film of the MCU for a long time (Avengers: Infinity War ?), le baroud d’honneur des Guardians of the Galaxy est un feu d’artifice galactique au cœur gros comme ça. Et encore plus rock’n’roll en 4K Ultra HD (les prestations A/V tutoient les étoiles), c’est en top du space op’ qu’il crève pour la dernière fois l’écran !
