Black Adam
4K Ultra HD
Blu Ray
Ultra HD video & high-definition audio make this Blu-ray a treat, but Black Adam disappoints with bloated storytelling.
The technical excellence of Black Adam's 4K transfer beautifully renders primary colors and perfectly captures rich image details, textures, and facial features. The film looks outstanding, with impressive Dolby Vision HDR and stunning details.
I eagerly anticipated this film, waiting to watch it in my familiar environment. The Dolby Atmos audio track is impressively massive, with action-packed sound from all channels, making it even more impressive than the transfer.
Two-disc release with brief but well-rounded bonus features in a keepcase with plain-wrap cover artwork and a Digital Copy redemption code; includes History of Black Adam, Justice Society, and Black Adam as a flawed hero, among others.
Black Adam, a 5,000-year-old legend, faces modern-day heroes challenging his unique justice based on rage. Jaume Collet-Serra's film, with a skateboarding kid and Smashing Pumpkins music, missed the mark. The nation of Khandaq suffers under an oppressive mercenary regime exploiting Eternium.
Director: Jaume Collet-Serra
Actors: Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge, Pierce Brosnan
Plot: Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods--and imprisoned just as quickly--Black Adam is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.
Disc Release Date: 3 January 2023

Black Adam zaps 4K with an impressive 2160p Dolby Vision HDR transfer. Apparently finished on a native 4K digital intermediate - details are very often stunning. Every little facial feature, grizzled beard...
Even more impressive than the transfer I’d say is the wall-to-wall Atmos audio track. From the front/center channels to the heights, sides, and rears, this mix is action-packed stuff. There’s rarely a...
