First, and possibly most important, Fall Guy, a live-action Looney Tune directed by David Leitch, arrives in an embossed slipcover that also has metallic components. Overall attractive, and probably not disposable.
While the obverse basically replicated that of the plastic holder within, the reverse allows larger imagery and printed content.
Shot in Australia with Arri gear and Panavision anamorphic optics, it's visuals work well within the 4k UHD framework, inclusive of Dolby Vision.
Basically an almost continuous action sequence using plenty of stunt persons, characters never really get beyond the concept of a cartoon cardboard cut-out.
I far prefer to spend time with Bugs.
I may have made calculated error in viewing the film, which had been recommended by someone I trust, in presuming that more may be better.
It doesn't seem to be.
The Extended Cut, which contains 20 minutes more running, jumping and flying through the air, was a total slog.
Might I have appreciated the shorter theatrical cut?
Possibly, but two hours is far too important to me to go back and re-visit.
Image - (Dolby Vision)
Forensic - 10
NSD - 10
Audio – 10 (Dolby Atmos)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Plays nicely with projectors - Yes
Makes use of and works well in 4k - 8
Worth your attention - 2
Slipcover rating - 2.5
