Space Jam: New Era, the London Tunes advertising dunk

IMAGE – Thats not all CGI Folks!

If the Blu-ray is great, the HDR10 UHD transfer is even more thanks to a nice improvement of all the image components.

Visually explosive and constelled with impressive colours, it takes advantage of clearer details (the coat of Bugs and Lola Bunny, the pores of the face, the public in the background) live as in the various animated formats, more natural expansive hues (the carnation is healthier) and/or better saturated (the server of the WB), even more demonstrative contrasts (the blacks, finely delimited, are ink, and the whites, better balanced, pure to wish) and light sources « overloaded » (there are everywhere, all the time) much more vivid (digital information that passes through the heart of the « server-world », lighting of the stadium).

Nevertheless, while the compression does not weaken much, rare passages allow a rise of grains (some voluntary during childhood of LeBron, it is less safe at other times) while the photograph is in 95% of cases perfectly smooth. This is not the fault of this record, since it is the same with its HD counterpart, but this very slight lack of uniformity prevents it from obtaining the maximum score.

SON – Go on Porky Pig, swing your flow!

From the generic opening to the end, the Dolby Atmos mixing impresses with its power and occupation of all the channels allocated to it.

Engaging on the dynamic side and exploiting basses rich in sensation (especially during the rebounds of the ball), he also makes use of all the speakers to fill the listening room with effects and/or atmospheres of any kind... Especially during the basketball match (the crowd). The frontal scene is particularly wide, the surrounds are overactive (the movements of the Tunes), the verticality of the sound is unbridled (the characters, voices, music, flying devices, arcade sounds, etc.) and the dialogues, always sharp, play on the same playing ground as the other elements of the soundtrack.

Less open and more open « compliance », the French proposal lacks insanity even though the magnitude and spatialisation, in view of the limitations imposed by compression (this is a Dolby Digital 5.1 encoding), remain at the level of the NBA.

CONCLUSION – A Bugs in the Matrix?

Big eight delusional barred with noise and colors, this suite of Space Jam was predestined to team up with an Ultra HD Blu-ray... As flashing here as the « server-world » Warner!
