WORK - Across the Flash-Verse

Barry uses his superpowers to go back in time and change his past. But his efforts to save his family are not without consequences for the future, and Barry finds himself trapped in a reality where General Zod is back, threatening to destroy the planet, and where superheroes have disappeared...

Far from the expected burst or the announced catastrophe, this blockbuster at the re-reading casting (the return of Michael Keaton and flight of Sasha Calle) is only a light parenthesis (no stakes or development) that runs at all speed between action (mediumly overwhelming), humor (the Barry Allen show flies) and emotion (bel and well at the meeting). But metastased by CGIs of the last century, a fan service of bad taste (or how to scratch our heroes from the past) and particularly lunar inconsistencies, it is in total indifference that the page of The film world DC Turn around... Light years from the era Snyder !

IMAGE - Vif like lightning

This UHD Dolby Vision transfer to the respected format 1.90 allows flashy photography to be used as a means of creating a high-quality image. Henry Braham to benefit from the notable increase in resolution, the obvious increase in dynamic range and the increased boldness of colours.

Compression follows the rhythm without external signs of fatigue, the surplus definition is visible all along (the sharpness in the background is catchy) and the details of a beautiful thoroughness are even more superbly rendered (physical characteristics, costumes, decors) even though it does not really help with special effects (babys, passages in the Chronobowl).

The chromatic palette particularly « Seeing » displays primarys (yellow keys, blue sky, red outfits) and secondarys enhardies while regenerating the carnation, contrasts that are striking add a tangible dimension to the shadows (immediately perceptible in the basements of the military base in Siberia) thanks to more precise blacks (the textures of the rock in the ambient shadow of the Batcave), and regularly strongly supported light sources (electric arcs, daylight, explosions) increase in intensity with more relevant shine (whites are brighter).

The Flash (2023)

Come on Barry, Let's go party!

If it is necessary to listen to it at 5 dB above the reference level to get the Veloce Force, this robust and engaging Dolby Atmos (VO as well as VF) mix has a palpable sound wrap and a strong power.

The dynamics are excellent with basses to shake your walls (good use of the infra-grave), the different effects (starting with the electric shocks of Flash) and the atmospheres (road traffic during the race-continuation in Gotham, bats and background noises in the Barcave) are perfectly placed in the acoustic space (the out-of-field abounds) and pass through all the channels (back activity is generous and the verticality of the sound persists during large-scale encounters), the score signed Benjamin Wallfisch which is very ventilated takes advantage of an adequate scope and the dialogues, firmly embedded on the plant, are returned with great clarity.

CONCLUSION - Run little monkey, run!

Like the CDEU of recent years, it is to a merry bazaar not unpleasant but terribly blond that this final chapter seems. But thanks to the solid A/V performance of the present 4K Ultra HD, this Comic Book Movie is simply banal and somewhat drifting produces more sparks! As for the continuation, the DCU James Gunn Come on.

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
