Zack Snyder often holds on Supes up in the sky. The same sequence on the Blu-ray has no colour detail through the window, and Lois' face looks at least two stops brighter. A white hoarding glows bright outside, while adjacent buildings are yellow Lois' face is dulled in shadow. When Lois brings Perry the bullet sample from the desert shootout, she's almost silhouetted against exterior windows. The colour palette is beautiful, with even the simplest scenes richer and more evocative. But spin the 4K HDR disc and you're looking at an entirely different film. To be clear, the regular BD is entirely serviceable, if a little drab-looking. Picture: The 4K HDR iteration (this is the first UHD release to utilise a three-layer disc) is bundled with a regular Blu-ray, which provides some interesting comparisons. One of the new sequences has Luthor, seemingly in thrall to Steppenwolf, minion to Darkseid and the big bad lined up for next year's Justice League flick. With its Parademon-infested premonition and Mother Boxes aplenty …Dawn of Justice makes no attempt to hand-hold a mainstream audience, but that just reinforces its geek appeal. For anyone who grew up with Christopher Reeve in the blue suit, suffered through the Quest for Peace, and thought DC had lost the plot with Green Lantern and Jonah Hex, this is nothing short of a gift. Instead it channels Frank Miller through Alex Ross, and opens the door to Jack Kirby's New Gods/Fourth World mythology.
But Zack Snyder's mythic take on his principals is defiantly epochal.
Jesse Eisenberg still irritates, the Martha MacGuffin is clunky and the geography of Gotham and Metropolis makes little sense. Of course, the longer cut doesn't fix everything. Clark Kent is the biggest beneficiary, as we see him flex his investigative reporting skills, and uncover the twisted depth of Lex Luthor's machinations. AV quality is the winner when the Man of Steel fights the Bat of Gotham in this slobberknocker.Ĭritics may baulk at the prospect of even more BvS, but there's no doubt that pouring 30 minutes of extra footage back into the mix for this 'Ultimate Edition' helps flesh out the narrative of Zack Snyder's Justice League prequel.
