4K Digital Review of Deadpool & Wolverine

 

The third installment of the Deadpool franchise and the 14th X-Men film is the perfect send off to the 20th Century X-Men movies and hopefully a huge new beginning in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) has said goodbye to his alter ego Deadpool until he is taken from his timeline by the TVA. The TVA's Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) offers Wade a future on Earth 616. Wade accepts but then realizes that his timeline is deteriorating on Earth 100005, he sets off to save his universe by restoring its anchor being, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). Paradox sends the two heroes to the Void, a wasteland of pruned people, places and things sent there by the TVA. 

Video:

The 4K transfer is one of the best I have ever seen! Everything is crisp and clear and colors pop off the screen. Details such as the textures of the costumes really shine here. The level of detail is extraordinary and the 4K visuals are a triumph! 

Audio:

Equally impressive is the audio quality. It felt as good as the theater experience. Dialogue is normalized through the center channel and you do not need to adjust the volume. Action sequences make great use of the surround channels. The audio is perfectly mixed for big action pieces and quieter moments. You feel immersed into the movie. 

Bonus Features:

• Finding Madonna: Making the Oner – Director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds break down a historic scene in the film: the “Oner,” which highlights the first fight in which Deadpool and Wolverine finally unite.
• Practical Approach: Celebrating the Art of Ray Chan – A tribute to longtime Marvel Studios collaborator Ray Chan, who sadly passed away in 2024 – the cast and crew recall anecdotes and echo the resounding positive effects of filming on the set he helped design, full of intricate details and Easter eggs.
• Loose Ends: The Legacy Heroes – Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy, and the cast and crew go through some of the mind-blowing cameos and the characters who finally get their deserved endings. They cover the intensive choreographed sequences, updated costumes, and assembling the iconic team.
• Wolverine – Hugh Jackman describes the return to his iconic role as Wolverine. Cast and crew discuss how he picks up his yellow and blue suit for the first time, brings variety to the role, and continues his legacy from previous films.
• Filmmaker Commentary – Listen to audio commentary by director Shawn Levy and actor Ryan Reynolds.
• Gag Reel – Watch some hilarious outtakes on set with the cast and crew of Deadpool & Wolverine
• Deleted Scenes
  • Elevator Ride – Paradox explains the sacred timeline to Deadpool as they walk around the TVA.

  • Daddy’s In Love – B-15 and Peter strike up a romance. Peter announces he is in love to his friends, Headpool and Kidpool.

  • Dr. Deadpool – Dr. Deadpool, Ph.D. very kindly informs us of the risks of testicular cancer and tries to convince Hugh Jackman to do a live checkup.
  • Product Review – Deadpool shows off some toys and trinkets from the franchise, including one top-secret item that may or may not be a spoiler.
  • Wade is Back – Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman promote a movie...but Ryan misleads Hugh on just exactly which movie they are there for.

Conclusion:

Review of Real Steel by Matt Chavez

Hey Sasaki Time Fans! I am pleased to introduce a new member to the Sasaki Time Family, Matt Chavez, who will be writing movie reviews for the site! Please welcome him and let him know that you want to read more of his reviews!

Real Steel is a film set in the not too distant future, in where human boxing is dead and replaced in favor of giving audiences the sort of deathly carnage only robotic gladiators can provide. Charlie (Hugh Jackman) is former boxer that could take a punch from any guy that could deliver. Now, down on his luck, Charlie is a struggling promoter trying to fight his way back to the top. But this time, he is doing it with 9-foot tall boxing robots. Along his journey, Charlie receives information in regards to his long-abandoned son Max (Dakota Goyo). Max is dropped off by Charlie’s former sister-in-law (Hope Davis) and her husband (James Rebhorn) as part of a custody deal and will be spending the summer with his father. Charlie and Max initially have no use or affection for each other, but eventually bond over their interest in robot boxing. After his last robot becomes trashed, Charlie takes Max to the junkyard to scour parts to build a new one. Eventually, Max comes across a fully built robot buried in the mud. Can they take this old generation sparring bot and turn him into a champion?

Real Steel has been mocked as being the movie version of Rock ‘Em Sock ’Em Robots, but I can assure you that this movie is much more than that. Real Steel is an emotional and heartfelt story about a father and son bonding and reuniting over a common interest. Now combine that with some sweet robot-on-robot violence and a former boxer finally getting a shot at the comeback that he never quite got and you have a fun loving, feel good movie that has you cheering for the underdog. Hugh Jackman and Dakota Goyo have great chemistry together. Personally, I believe that Dakota Goyo carries a large portion of the movie and I like how he comes across as a likable, regular kid. His role is the most memorable and I think this movie will secure his place as the next “up and coming actor”. Evangeline Lilly also does a great job in her role as Bailey, Charlie’s old love and the daughter of his former coach. The robots in this movie are truly amazing and there are times when you completely forget that these iron giants are CGI. Accompanied by a good soundtrack, this high energy movie had me bobbing and weaving in my seat the entire time!!!

If you are looking for a film that will have you smiling when you leave the theater and make you feel like you got your money’s worth, the check out Real Steel!!! Real Steel hits theaters and IMAX nationwide October 7th!!!

You can catch Real Steel at The El Capitan in Hollywood from October 7th- October 19th. And if you want to feel like you are part of the action, check out Real Steel at the Anaheim Gardenwalk’s UltraStar Cinemas D-Box Motion Seats.
