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.
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!
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.
