Bass on this track is well represented, there are numerous low rumbles that set herald the arrival of something nasty and set the furniture throbbing, as well as plenty of LF effects to fill out the action on screen.
The usual Disney volume adjustment has to be applied to the Dolby Atmos track, but once done you find a quite dynamic effects driven mix.
#Avengers infinity war movie review skin#
While staples such as skin tones are very natural.ĭigitally there are no issues and the source is immaculate. Explosions, weapon fire (especially Iron Man’s beams), magical enchantments are so rich in colour. With a black level that pushes the frame way back, and a white level that pushes the image forward there is significant 3D pop, especially in daylight scenes (Wakanda battle for example). This 2K DI up-scale bests the Blu-ray at every turnĭetail is phenomenal, everything is clean, clear and precise – skin texture (close up of Stark’s face in the Iron Man suit), clothing weaves (‘super’ suits or otherwise) close up details (grime on the old phone), distance shots (overlooking New York, or the desolation of Titan): everything has a keen edge and is pristine.Īs always the detail is less than half the story, the addition of WCG and HDR give the image significant pop with colours available that the Blu-ray can’t cope with – starting the furnace on Nidavellir, or any of the nebular shots in Space) the depth of colour in any of the Infinity stones beams out of the screen, the skin colour of Gamora and Thanos, see how it grades. Time and again Marvel has proven they have what it takes to keep on getting better, but it seems insurmountable from this point! But I can’t wait to see where they go. Once the credits roll (the post-credit scene giving some hope) you are exhausted and left wondering where to go from here. It is a masterwork of storytelling to keep building on the themes to this one point – it is simply stunning. Everyone, including the main villain of the piece, has an emotional backstory that comes, in some way, to bear so that at the end of the film, and the stand-off between Vision, Scarlet Witch and Thanos, you are emotionally drained. After defeating everyone, including Hulk, he succeeds in his ambitions, in an emotionally charged scene that emulates what is to come: characters' emotional turmoil at their prospects as Thanos wades through everyone on his singular mission.ĭirecting duties were given to Anthony and Joe Russo, and they are to be commended for bringing together so many characters, several story threads, being witty, entertaining and balancing action and emotion in a way that builds tension, never feels bloated or over-drawn, and is quite punishing to watch not due to the action content, but do to the emotional weight of the story line(s). Starting directly from the post-credit sequence of Thor: Ragnarok, Thanos, after already gaining one Infinity Stone, is aboard Thor’s refugee ship trying to claim the second from Loki. (A surprise guest appearance later in the film, which we won't spoil here, is equally as harebrained and fantastic.Ten years in the making and after an 18 film build-up, we arrive at Infinity War the culmination of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and boy it does not disappoint. "He came to steal a necklace from a wizard," Stark explains to Parker as he whizzes past. Yeah, Iron Man and Spider-Man trying to keep a "Squidward"-looking, Thanos-spawned alien from stealing Dr. And taking cues from Thor: Ragnarok, Iron Man 3, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Black Panther, Infinity War is far more self-aware than its predecessors, embracing its goofiest aspects with infectious zest.
The diversity that made Black Panther such a monumental success isn't tamped down, or tokenized (everyone knows that Wakanda is where it's at).
It's also a film that has the benefit of past experience, and uses that to its advantage. Maybe that's because it leans heavily on a select few fan-favorite universes - whichmakes it feel like the core Avengers are being dropped into Black Panther, Thor, and Guardians of the Galaxy, rather than the other way around. For a movie that is merging a handful of well-established worlds, Infinity War achieves astounding tonal consistency. Director-siblings Anthony and Joe Russo do a deft balancing act, not just with their myriad of characters but also with tone.
