HOME CINEMA CHOICE SEPTEMBER 2019
01
Captain Marvel
[UHD Blu-ray]
An entertaining but not
outstanding entry in the MCU,
and that verdict also applies to
Disney's 4K release. Visuals are
colourful but can feel a little soft,
while extras are slight. HCC #301Us
Jordan Peele follows Get Out with
another superior, unnerving
horror, and it's given fi ne
treatment on BD. Imagery
impresses, particularly in
night-time scenes, while Atmos
sonics are precise. HCC #301Bumblebee [UHD Blu-ray]
Enjoyable Transformers spin-off
revels in '80s nostalgia and
a heart-warming narrative.
Paramount's 4K BD packs
a seismic Dolby Atmos mix,
colourful visuals and a fi ne
selection of extras. HCC #299Aquaman [UHD Blu-ray]
Perhaps the best example yet of
the potential of wide colour and
HDR technologies, Warner's UHD
platter dazzles from start to end.
Bassy Atmos audio and plenty
of bonus features complete an
impressive package. HCC #298The Favourite
Wonderfully witty historical black
comedy with an Oscar-winning
turn from Olivia Colman as
Queen Anne. Solid 1080p
encode and ambient DTS-HD
5.1 audio, but a meagre selection
of bonus bits. HCC #299102 GEAR GUIDE
