The disc presents an up-scaled 3840 x 2160p resolution image in the widescreen 2.39:1 aspect ratio, and uses 10-bit video depth, a Wide Colour Gamut (WCG), High Dynamic Range, and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec for HDR10. Sitting in the no-man’s land between Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, it does feel a bit like padding, but with enough emotional investment behind the characters and their motivations it manages to pull off a coup – an entertaining romp that keeps the door propped open for the end of Phase III.Ĭaptain Marvel was shot digitally using a combination of Arri Alexa 65, RED Weapon 8K VV Monstro and Panavision Millennium DXL cameras with resolutions ranging from 6.5K to 8K but ultimately finished as a 2K DI, which has presumably been used here for this Ultra HD Blu-ray release. Indeed, the climactic standoff after Vers has discovered her true nature, and thus her true potential and power, is suitably emotional and engaging. Of course, it being a comic book film, there are plenty of action scenes, and all are handled well. The various plot twists are seen a mile away, but this does not detract from the film's layers unfolding in a natural and generous way.
Jackson (playing a younger more headstrong version of his later self) - which is infectious and enjoyable.
Whilst the plot narrative of the film might not be all that original (flawed hero discovering themselves) what it does have is a natural chemistry between the two leads – Brie Larson and Samuel L. While there, she encounters a young Nick Fury of SHIELD and the two bond as they both expand their view of the universe. Escaping, she travels to Earth to search for her alien captors and her own past. She suffers from peculiar dreams that haunt her, so that when she is captured during a mission that goes wrong, a mind probe gives her tantalising glimpses into hitherto unseen memories. Vers is young, headstrong, emotional but extremely powerful. As a sub-plot we are introduced to Vers, a member of Star Force, fighting a war to subjugate a shapeshifting alien menace. It could be argued that Captain Marvel exists only to show us how Nick Fury managed to lose an eye and gain the intergalactic pager used at the end of Avengers: Infinity War.
