betty boop Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 surprised no thread on joker ? out on uhd blu-ray and i caught it on that, local bought a very interesting movie.... gee.... quite unusual... certainly no batman film set in gotham city.... I am not sure i want to say too much about this film at all to be honest incase gives anything.... literally anything away about the film ! there are somethings to say though the acting is superb.... the way the movie is done its hard to know what is real or (unreal) at times... and also has you second guessing...there are elements that reminded me of the film "falling down" photography is something superb...what creates the atmosphere of the film... and the audio track is similarly very apt... some excellent song music choices .... songs like Smile - jimmy durante, thats life - sinatra and white room come to mind....sound amazing. this movie was an absolute STUNNER way came up on the projector ...checking the imdb technical specs for the movie it lists Arri alexas used to film and 6.5k source material with a 4K digitals intermediate... so the film has all it has to render very well for uhd and it sure does... some screen shots below, 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundfan Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Joker was the best film I have seen at the Cinema over the last year, and I fully expect it to get best picture and actor in respective categories at the upcoming Academy Awards. I also loved the cinematography I have the Blu-Ray, haven't watched it yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figjam Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 All I will say is that I expected this movie to be dark, but oh boy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzzFuzzz Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It took me two attempts... the first I was not in the mood for dark and uncomfortable. The second was mid morning and I was up for it. I only knew that Jaoquin was in it and Joker is a Batman character, I had no expectations. The realism and mental illness meant I had to prepare myself a little before watching. It was too much the first time around, I wasn't ready for it. I think it's about time the Superhero movie experience focused more on story than effects. Ironically, I am more comfortable watching the exaggerated violence of CGI, than the realistic portrayal of mental illness and violence. But I would rather watch a great movie rather than great visuals. I can't wait to watch it again and pick up on anything I missed. A great movie.

Kaynin Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I loved this. I'm a big Phoenix fan, so couldn't wait for it's release. His portrayal was fantastic...but...not to the heights of Ledger. I much prefer the "madman" character as opposed to the old school cartoon style. The cinematography was superb, just some majestic moments on screen, it was wonderful to watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering Phoenix was in nearly every scene of the movie, his performance was all the more astounding. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly found Heath to be the more evil version, particularly given it’s set further down the track where he’s not showing any positive emotions to any human being. I mainly made up my mind from my perception of both performances, and felt Phoenix over acted at times, particularly when being interviewed by De Niro. I didn’t believe that scene. All that said, I loved the movie and think Phoenix did a superb job. He’s been a long time favourite of mine. I mean, anyone that can pull of believability of falling in love with a computer OS (Her), is brilliant. He didn’t disappoint with Joker, just not taking the mantle for best of all time, is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eth Nick Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Just watched this last night. All the reviews have got it right - such a clean image from start to end. We shouldn’t expect anything less than this for all new films. Audio’s brilliant too. There’s no real need for Atmos for this kind of movie but its mostly subtle use complimented the rest of the soundtrack nicely. Great release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
