Overview: The fate of the world is once more on the line, and only Wonder Woman can save it. This new chapter in the Wonder Woman story finds Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) living quietly among mortals in the vibrant, sleek 1980s—an era of excess driven by the pursuit of having it all.

Though she’s come into her full powers, she maintains a low profile, curating ancient artifacts and only performing her superheroic acts incognito.

But now, Diana will have to step directly into the spotlight and muster all her wisdom, strength and courage in order to save mankind from a world of its own making.

Blu-ray Verdict: Warner Bros. is expanding their 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray catalog offerings this month with the release of the euphorically mesmerizing, and gloriously colorful 'Wonder Woman 1984’ in the expansive 4K Ultra HD video format this March 30th, 2021.

For my money, this 'Wonder Woman 1984: 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital' combo pack's sharpness takes a fairly large step forward from others in their 4K Ultra HD catalog and even comes with HDR (High Dynamic Range) for the complete 4K Ultra HD experience, of course.

So, what we have is 'Wonder Woman 1984' presented to us as a two-disc combo pack with a sheet for a Digital HD Copy. Other stand out points you should know are: Codec: HEVC / H.265, Resolution: Native 4K (2160p) HDR: Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Aspect ratio: 2.39:1, 1.90:1 and Original aspect ratio: 2.39:1.

Featuring Dolby Vision and HDR10 for brighter, deeper, and way more lifelike colors, as with most all 4K UHD's, everything that we watch features these qualities - but somehow, this film gloriously shines within them all.

Noticeably crisper with the overall clarity receiving an obvious boost here on this release, what's more is that it's enjoyably noticeable.

For as well as some new nuances to the somewhat drab palette courtesy of Dolby Vision we also get to witness sudden bright pops of color; such as the truly breathtaking fun to watch, lasso of truth scene I'll call "The White House Fight Scene"!

I mean, and aside from the pulsating, golden glow of the lasso of truth itself, WW's costume and fight techniques all come to the fore here in this corridor of power!

Indeed, the picture enjoys the fruits of the added resolution in terms of bringing out the aforementioned extremely fine facial and some of the yellow graded material - notably the now infamous opening scenes of the great race and where a young Diana is seen competing with her oh-so much older "family".

As for the audio, well we have a veritable smorgasbord of choice here: English: Dolby Atmos, English: Dolby TrueHD 7.1 (48kHz, 24-bit), Italian: Dolby Atmos, German: Dolby Atmos, Italian: Dolby Digital 5.1, German: Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish: Dolby Digital 5.1 and French (Canada): Dolby Digital 5.1.

Overall, this is a very strong 4K HDR Blu-ray presentation, and, for the most part, the audio track remains fairly similar to its DTS-HD counterpart; with much of the action occupying the surrounds with outstanding directionality and placement where effects flawlessly pan between the sides and rears.

OK, well, as for the actual movie, well, for my money, 'Wonder Woman 1984' delivers top notch, first class entertainment from start to finish!

This time the story is set in 1984, where Wonder Woman tries to save the world once again from an unlikely enemy while she still seems to be thinking about Chris Pine.

Yes, its a more emotional approach to a superhero and yes its more focused to a female perspective, but I liked it for what it is.

With a run time of two and a half hours, you'd think that it might get a wee bit boring along the way, but trust me when I say that the pace of the film is fantastic throughout.

The visuals and FX are pretty good throughout the movie too (save, sadly for Wiig as the "apex predator," of course), and the action scenes are well crafted, as one would imagine.

The cast is excellent also, with Pedro Pascal being a genuine stand out highlight on screen as Maxwell Lord. Gal Gadot is as stunning as always and sure, overall, Kirsten Wiig is also a great addition to the film, but the development of her character could have been more in depth so we could at least see her transformation being more justified.

On the contrary, the character of Pedro Pascal is well developed and layered and I was impressed by the tension that he adds throughout the entire film.

Furthermore, I was happy to see him seamlessly switching between drama and comedy and many points go to him for keeping the film's pace interesting also.

For me, the whole granting wishes thing concept of the movie just felt out of place, and like something that belonged in a whole different type of movie.

It just failed to captivate me, and proved to have little entertainment value in terms of being the focal point of a superhero movie.

But what did work was that aforementioned opening sequence, for it is one most all viewers must have gotten sucked into from the off.

Spectacular camera work takes us to a competition on Themyscira, as a very young Diana (Lilly Aspell returns) goes against the grown warriors, while Antiope (Robin Wright) and Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) look on and teach hard life lessons.

Not only do these actors return, but most of Ms. Jenkins' 'Wonder Woman' crew is back, including cinematographer Matthew Jensen. The changes include Film Editor Richard Pearson and Hans Zimmer provides the new score.

Overall, the style focus is excellent ('80s colorful extravaganza) and the subjective meaning of the movie is beyond positive, as only we could have ever hoped for.

Taking a peak at a couple of the Special Features and the lead on is the magnificently explorative and highly informative 'The Making of Wonder Woman 1984: Expanding the Wonder, where, and from the off, Patty Jenkins is so in love with Gal's golden suit of armor and how it fits here!

We get some lovely story board sketches and insight into how evolved this 'Wonder Woman' would be compared to the one before and what they thought she could now do, with all her powers now harnessed, but having been kept under wraps for so long.

As for how she was presented, at Gala's and such, given how colorfully mad the scenes and backgrounds were (let alone all the clothing worn by the actors and background), they wanted her to be "cool and elegant" in her own brand of sleek, uncomplicated whites, etc.

And in the :53 second 'Gal & Kristen: Friends Forever,' we get to see two gals goofing off, dancing, acting up and overall just hugging and genuinely laughing with one another throughout the long shoot!

And lest we forget the :58 second 'Gal & Krissy Having Fun' where the two ladies came together for a homemade "music video" for a Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show skit!
