We get a collection packed with over 2-hours of bonus materials, including the digital bonus MCU directors roundtable and over 30-minutes of featurettes that offer up interviews with the cast and crew. Even the PIXAR soundtracks are underwhelming these days. What is Disney doing these days with their soundtracks? This isn’t the worst I have heard from them, but where they used to lead the pack, they have become an afterthought. While they do offer up some atmospherics for the score and sound effects, they don’t quite give a big sense of immersion. The panning is decent, but the overhead speakers are underwhelming. There’s an indefinable sense of the dynamics being stifled although there is certainly some ‘boom’ in the low end and clarity in the dialogue.
It’s neither great nor terrible, just average. The AudioĪvengers: Infinity War comes with an English Dolby Atmos mix on 4K Ultra HD. Still, most won’t be complaining about this disc or the Blu-ray, which is also darn good. Now, we get this high-profile release in this HEVC 2160p (4K) encodement shot on an Arri Alexa IMAX camera with Panavision Sphero 65 & APO Panatar lenses at 6.5K resolution mastered with a 4K DI and brought to 4K Ultra HD with HDR10 HDR by Disney/Marvel, which can and does look incredible here with awesome highlights and beautifully nuanced shadows and colors, but Dolby Vision often yields an even better visual experience with its dynamic metadata and varied levels of colors and brightness that tend to look a little more natural and nuanced. Disney made a big show about holding off on the format until Dolby Vision was available on disc and in a sufficient number of players and displays. I was incredibly disappointed that Avengers: Infinity War was not on 4K Ultra HD in with Dolby Vision. The ending is one of the most stunning in the MCU and it humanizes the superheroes in a way that makes them interesting and relatable characters. That said, Avengers: Infinity War is easily the best of the MCU, and not just because it brings together all the superheroes, but because it effortlessly works in all the best parts of the MCU, from the awesome visual effects to the wisecracking humor, the pathos of the supervillains, and, lastly, the intensity of the conflict.
Assuming that Marvel sticks to the comics, the next film will be a stunner for those who are not familiar with Thanos and his master plan and inner demons. For anyone familiar with the comic book universe, the ending may already be a forgone conclusion. Eventually Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Hulk (Ruffalo), War Machine (Don Cheadle), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Vision (Paul Bettany), Spider-Man (Tom Holland) Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and the Guardians of the Galaxy, Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Groot (Vin Diesel), Rocket (Bradley Cooper), and Gamora (Zoe Saldana) unite to battle Thanos and his minions.Īfter the Guardians, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man fail to stop Thanos from attaining the penultimate stone, the last stand comes in a blistering battle in Wakanda, home of Black Panther. After the film’s stunning, action-packed opening on Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) ship that sees Thor, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) take a stunning defeat at the hands of Thanos and lose one of the stones, the film moves on to the desperation of the rest of the Avengers who begin to realize, through contact from the others, what dire straits the world is in.
