WORK – No, but say, is it good or not?
With one word – Tenet – and determined to fight to save the world, our protagonist travels the twilight universe of international espionage. His mission will project him into a dimension that exceeds time. Yet, it is not a journey through time, but a time reversal...
Christopher Nolan's film-sum, this great SF thriller as inventive as it is spectacular is a demonstration of strength (and not just conceptual) at all times.
IMAGE – Everyone's beautiful, are you sure?
Virtuoso staging is enhanced by a UHD HDR10 transfer as perfect as possible (a phenomenal pique, ultra-realistic extended colours, extremely refined contrasts and incredibly bright light sources), which only aims to recreate the breathtaking experience experienced in dark rooms (a 65 / 70 mm capture with ratio changes).
SON – He who has ears to hear, hear!
Angrous and particularly physical, the soundtrack (proposed in DTS-HD MA 5.1 at the request of its director) is as invigorating as the action it accompanies. Balanced on the side of immersion and unchained when the dynamics decide to send, it is reinforced by an LFE channel that stopped diving extremely low.
Undoubtedly, here is the best non-3D mixing in history.
CONCLUSION – Every good thing has an end...
Sensory experience above all, this edition had to be in tune with the work that it accompanies... And it is!
