WORK – Reborn from its ashes
Welcome to Hell – aka Belle Reve, the highest death rate in the United States of America. Where the worst super-villains are detained, who will do everything to get out of it – including joining the super secret and the super-sucking Task Force X. The deadly mission of the day? Assemble a beautiful collection of crooks, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone's favorite psychopath: Harley Quinn. Arm them heavily and throw them (literally) on the remote island and stuffed with enemies of Corto Maltese on a search and destruction mission, with only Colonel Rick Flag to frame them on the ground.
By far the most violent, funny and crazy film of the DC stable, this crazy and totally fun blockbuster is not at all a public entertainment (gore humor and scenes of a rare violence) but a dirty, stupid and mean punk work away from the bleach sold by Marvel. Very refreshing, this drink raised by unpredictability of deglingued and colorful characters leaves a dynamite taste in the mouth. In sum, Troma 185 million USD!
IMAGE – Jötunheim, here we are!
Beautifully textured and taking full advantage of the improvements made by the HDR (HDR10+ or Dolby Vision), the image captured in 8K with digital cameras approved by IMAX is certainly fabulous!
The definition does not suffer from any decrease in diet, the details gain in finesse (and this is even more noticeable during slowing), the beautiful granulosity breathes more, the CGI pass the heading of the 4K without eyebrowing, the colorimetric palette is even richer (the vegetation of the jungle) and vibrating (the Polka-Dot Man pellets, the princess dress and the « flowers » Harley Quinn, the dermis of Starro the Conqueror, the orange combinations of the Belle Reve inmates), the contrasts benefit from a better balance (blacks are denser and whites purer) and the brightness, undeniably higher than in SDR, stimulates the different lighting (gloss of ceiling and control screens) with as the highest point the white shower.
SON – It's like a Nirvana song!
Huge then calm, sensitive then explosive, this soundtrack (Dolby Atmos in VO and VF) elusive imposes its playful rhythm with extreme intensity and precision of every moment.
The spatialisation totally grabs the listening piece, the dialogues move with the actors (going as far as sneaking back), the dynamics really do not lack confidence, the sound design is diversified, the activity surrounds which never ceases to amuse of circular movements and other sound chaos (cf. the final urban destruction), the aerial scene is just fantastic (helicopters, thunder, ricochets of bullets, rain, debris, displacements of the Kaijū, of the « starfish » flying, etc.), the basses are thick mousses (stitches, punches, bumps, explosions, and pass) and the engaging score is striking.
CONCLUSION – The super tares we needed?
Take Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool, go to the shaker and multiply the dose by 10. There, you just got the detonator. The Suicide Squad Hey! And to sublimate a cocktail, what better than a drink at the height of the most beautiful presentations?
