Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen Part Two appears in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 on this 4K UHD Disc. Given that this became the second chapter in the series, I expected – and got – visuals and audio virtually identical to what I saw/heard from the prior disc.
So please enjoy this lazy cut and paste from my Part One review!
Sharpness looked immaculate. Virtually no soft spots emerged during this tight, concise image.
No issues with jagged edges or moiré effects materialized, and I saw no edge haloes. Source flaws also failed to manifest.
Huntsmen came with a broad palette that emphasized primary colors for the most part. The disc replicated these hues in a vivid, dynamic manner, and HDR gave the tones added oomph.
Blacks felt deep and dense, while low-light shots offered appealing clarity and smoothness. HDR brought extra range and dimensionality to whites and contrast. Across the board, the film looked great.
While not quite as strong, the movie’s DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack fared nicely as well. This meant a fairly involving soundscape.
Unsurprisingly, action scenes became the most engaging. Nonetheless, the general soundfield showed a nice level of activity and formed a solid core.
Audio quality worked fine, with dialogue that seemed natural and distinctive. Music boasted nice range and impact.
Effects also came across as vivid and accurate, with good dynamics and no signs of distortion. This turned into a worthwhile soundtrack.
A few extras appear here, and a featurette called I’ve Got Your Back runs six minutes, 45 seconds and brings notes from creative director Mike Pallotta, supervising director Kerry Shawcross, co-directors Jssa Badiola and Dustin Matthews, and actors Lindsay Rose, Barbara Dunkelman, David Dastmalchian, and Kara Eberle.
“Back” examines story/characters. We mostly find a description of the movie that lacks many insights.
You Look…. Different: RWBY On Earth goes for seven minutes, 12 seconds and offers comments from Pallotta, Badiola, Matthews, Jones, Shawcross, Dunkelman, Dastmalchian, and actors Jamie Chung and Arryn Zech.
We get a view of how the film's producers redesigned the RWBY characters for the Justice League world. It becomes a decent look at the topics
Although I mostly enjoyed Part One, Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen Part Two becomes a less engaging tale. It fails to find an inventive extension of the prior film and only sporadically kicks to life. The 4K UHD comes with excellent visuals, solid audio and minor bonus materials. I didn’t think highly enough of Part One enough to make Part Two a major letdown, but I still think it winds up as a disappointment.
