Solo: Star Wars Story – Malfamée la Galaxie?

IMAGE – Malfamous Galaxy?

Before talking about the transfer itself, it is important to clarify that Bradford Young is behind the photograph and that she is undeniably wearing her graphic foot. So it's dark, little contrast (don't expect abyssal blacks) and colorful (it's very gray), not to mention the fact that there are often disturbing elements in the frame like mist, smoke and fog. Nothing flashing or top demo so (in the sense that it throws away), but a real artistic direction assumed as such. And in order to enjoy it as it should be, there is no need to tell you that it is towards this edition 4K Ultra HD that one must turn to.

For if it is not perfect (small tinglings in the darkness during the game of Sabacc in the Lodge of Fort Ypso), it still perfectly restores the parties marked by the real and its leader op. The pale blacks of the Blu-ray are much less so thanks to increased darkness and darker images (for proof, the snow on the steep mountains of Vandor is less white), the light sources are more powerful (the daylight that enters the throne room of Lady Proxima on Corellia, the beams of lamps in the tunnels of the Kessel mines), the colorimetric palette is deeper and catchy (the yellow shirt of Lando, the clothing of the « guests » In the Yacht Stellaire, details gain in finesse (the craze of the Souillards, the wear of armor and means of transport) and each plan benefits from an increase in clarity (cf. the theatre of war on Mimban).

SON – The smuggler

Despite a low volume of recording (do not hesitate to increase it beyond the usual level to fully enjoy the mixing) and a dynamic that lacks strength, this VO Dolby Atmos enjoys a careful spatialization that uses correctly the rear scene (the battle on Mimban, the clashes in the spice mines) and the height channels (the Cloud Riders in the Vandor skies, the entire sequence in the Maelstrom), a score particularly well spaced at the front (and which sometimes invites itself on the surrounds), a LFE channel that can tap into the bottom of the spectrum (the explosion following the Conveyex bracing), and intelligible dialogues even when the acoustic environment is moving from all sides.

Even so effective, the VF (and its nice dubbing) is less directive and more braided.

CONCLUSION – Partners for Life

From his meeting with Chewie to his acquisition of the Millennium Falcon through the Kessel raid, Han has had some great adventures in his early years... And while you will be surrounded by notorious filous, assume that only the 4K Ultra HD will not betray you!
