    In the sequel "Watchmen: Chapter II", outlawed superheroes grapple with their personal lives and each other while racing the clock to solve a deepening mystery connected to an impending nuclear war between the United States and Russia. (Gary Reber)

    Special features include the featurettes "The Art Of Adaptation: Building To The Final Act", "Dave Gibbons And Watchmen: Chapters 7-12" and "Designing Watchmen" and a Movies Anywhere digital copy.

    The 2.39:1 2160p HEVC/H.265 Ultra HD Dolby Vision/HDR10 picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was animated digitally and sourced from a 4K master Digital Intermediate. As with Watchmen : Chapter I, the unique stylized picture features line and muted color fill animation that exhibits a warm color palette. The picture is on the darkish side and requires viewing in a dark environment. HDR contrast is excellent with dark shadows and solid blacks. White levels are generally subdued. Resolution is excellent with sharp and clear line delineations. This is a well-crafted animation feature that will please fans. (Gary Reber).

    The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack, as with Watchmen: Chapter I, is dynamic sounding. There is a low frequency foundation that envelops the soundfield. Surround energy is enveloping with various sound elements heard, including dialogue at low level, in the surround channels. At times the surrounds are directional. ADR dialogue is intelligible throughout. This is a satisfying holosonic® soundtrack that effectively complements the animation. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #11 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    It's really quite simple; the main reason that I read Widescreen Review is because of the overall quality of content and the fact that I can rely upon the writers to provide an open-minded presentation of cutting edge technology as it unfolds in “real time.” I read Widescreen Review to stay informed, entertained, and to learn valuable facts that have the added benefit of saving me money through empowering me to make wise decisions regarding the features and capabilities of the equipment I choose to purchase. While my home theatre is modest, I admire, and am inspired by Widescreen Review's dedication to speaking of and working towards a golden standard for the reproduction of video in the home. I may not be able to afford the very top-of-the-line components, yet with proper information I have found that there is no reason to settle for anything less than the best than I can afford. I choose to read Widescreen Review because of the clarity of its purpose, as well as the consistent delivery of its mission and message. I enjoy reading it every month, it saves me money, and it makes me a more informed consumer with every passing issue. You really say it all in your title “The Essential Home Theatre Resource” and deliver on your promise with intelligent passion inside each issue. Every consumer responds to good value, and that's what I find in the combination of the information I learn, the money I save, and the manner in which I am entertained rather than sold to. Thanks for the fine job that you all do, I appreciate it and so do those I've shared your publication with.
