WORK – Van Damme vs Lundgren
In 1969, during the Vietnam War, two American soldiers killed each other after the second massacred Vietnamese civilians. Almost 25 years later, they became UNIVERSAL-SOLdiers: they were corpses of soldiers brought back to life, who were considerably stronger and more resistant than anyone else and felt no emotion.
With its muscular casting, frenzied action, well-sensed dialogues and an overall relaxed atmosphere, this decomplexed B series that smells good in the 80-90s appreciates as a « small » Terminator. A very pleasant entertainment.
IMAGE – Successful regeneration
Captured in 35 mm and fully restored in 4K, the images of this UHD Dolby Vision transfer literally crush those of its HD counterpart.
The definition has made a leap forward (clearer backgrounds), the details are much more precise (military outfits, face pores), the silver grain is better considered (discreet and regular), the colorimetric palette recovers from its superb (greenish drifts are of the past) with a warmer carnation and more lively primary (blue sky), the contrasts are much firmer (cf. the intro in Vietnam) with reinforced blacks, and the light sources benefit from a new intensity (light of the day, reflections on metal objects, gyrophars, ceiling lamps of the restaurant bar, explosions).
SON – An accent? What accent?
Benefiting from a more engaged rear scene (but not too much) and a better frontal opening, the VO is not draft as the VF may be. However, the dynamics and scope remain limited.
CONCLUSION – Mid-man, mid-robot
Returned from the dead to better kill, UniSol are no longer subject to overheating since they received a dose of Ultra HD Blu-ray serum!
