There are a few stinkers – the 6-minute visual effects promo piece called “Krypton Decoded” hosted by 13-year-old Clark Dylan Sprayberry is clearly fluff that aired on TV someplace and is entirely useless, as is the bizarre inclusion of “New Zealand: Home of Middle-earth” from the Hobbit Blu-rays. If you’re a fan of the film, the supplemental content should deliver most of what you’re looking for. The audio and visual experience of the Man of Steel Blu-ray is truly fantastic. It’s the score that really shines though, with the thoughtful hum and thunderous percussion of Hans Zimmer’s music effectively lacing the experience with subtext and emotion. For as loud and high-action as Man of Steel is, there is a surprising amount of quieter moments (particularly during younger Clark’s sequences) that are beautifully underlined by the sound design. Learning that Zod’s armor was entirely CGI made the insane on-screen detail all the more impressive.Īudio is the same the DTS-HD Mater Audio 7.1 is a gut-punch of the forceful harmonies of the score perfectly mixed with the world’s sound effects and dialogue.
There are occasional moments where the transition is obvious and rubbery, but for the most part the entire experience is seamless and will leave you entrenched in the visuals that Snyder and company have concocted.
Even the film’s heavy CGI looks great when it’s this sharp. The different color palettes of the movie shine in this transfer as well, from the earthy, organic tones of Krypton to the warm glow of Smallville to the concrete and steel of Metropolis to the blackness of space.
