WORK - John Wish and Bees

A man's revenge takes on a national dimension after he has proved to be a former agent of a powerful underground organization known as "Beekeepers".

Despite brutal bare-handed fighting that delivers the goods and a Jason Statham (An angry man, Operation Fortune) magnetic in a role of few words (like d David Ayer (Fury, Bright"Leave the bumblebee. For it must be said, the energetic staging is not enough to overshadow a scenario with confusing absurdity pierced by shortcuts (even an Emmental with fewer holes), a cast in total freewheel that makes it crates (a Jeremy Irons in big descent of Dongeons and Dragons) and a dangerously flirting tone with parody without ever assuming it. You had to stay retired!

IMAGE - The hive cells

Cut for the 4K, photography with stylized visuals of Gabriel Beristain (Black Widow) benefits from the palpable increase in resolution and the decisive use of HDR technology of this Dolby Vision UHD transfer.

The pique d'un constant précision gains in refinement (face features, furnishing of the premises, dress styles), the colorimetric palette with warm tones regularly invaded with lively neon (especially in call centres) displays reinforced primary and secondary, the striking contrasts deliver enriched blacks (for more detailed shadows in low light condition) as well as more vibrant whites and light sources, flashing as possible, display with a truly increased radiance (notably with the Heavy Machine Gun at the gas station).

The Beekeeper

SON - PIF PAF BOUM!

Do you want to see a mix of Dolby Atmos with a high clarity (see the intelligibility of the background elements) that puts us at the heart of the action.

The dynamic range is excellent, the level of appreciable immersion (verticality understood with quite a lot of atmospheres), the very active surround scene, the rendering of the dialogues (a rare mediocrity) rigorous, the carefully integrated musical score and the palpable basses throughout.

Proposed in DTS-HD MA 5.1, the VF(Q) is as wide and striking as its 3D consœur despite a height scene necessarily absent (but partially recoverable by activating a virtualization DSP) which deprives it of a half dome wrap. VO Auro-3D untested.

CONCLUSION - To be or not to be?

Even if she dezingutes from the bad not handsome dard-dard, this stathamerie that stubbles on the flats to actuate 90s is vulturing in a conspiratory honey puddle with craziness. But the 4K Ultra HD comes out of its hive of A/V services stimulated by royal jelly!

Nyctalope like Riddick and with a very good hearing, I am ready to jump on physical editions and SVOD platforms. But if the quality isn't on the rendezvous, stop at the bite! #WeLovePhysicalMedia
