Elvis has survived the down-conversion to 1080p surprisingly well, especially considering it contains more than 2 1/2 hours of HD content and a Luhrmann has never bowed down to Hollywood executives to compromise his stunning vision in telling stories everyone knows by heart, whether it be his own version of Romeo + Juliet, a take on Moulin Rogue!, or a highly valued stylized concept of The Great Gatsby. Luhrmann knows how to set a film on fire with spectacular effects that can fully immerse his audience inside a live stage play with all the hot lights, music, and choreography to keep everyone's toes tapping. The same goes for hisElvispicture, however, Luhrmann takes an unconventional approach once again to tell this tragic tale of Elvis's life and career. With an out-of-the-world performance from Butler and a weird, yet underwhelming role for Tom Hanks, the pacing and the film's length hinder it from being completely enjoyable. But kudos to Luhrmann for doing something creative and original with this biopic that nobody saw coming - telling the hero's story from the villain's eye line.

Hearing a movie is just as important to be on physical media as it is for the visual perspective, especially for a musical biopic.

All the extras listed below are on the 1080p blu only (unless specified that they’re included on the 4K disc): And yet Luhrmann and his cadre of screenwriters decide to cut through it all with some stark and brave narrative choices……frame the entire film as a medicated fever dream of Elvis’s long-term manager/nemesis Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), which not only turns the entire thing into less of a straight-forward biopic and more a battle for the soul of Elvis, but also justifies the assault on the senses that Luhrmann delivers in his typical OTT brand of cinematic excess.

Side guide

Immediately you will undoubtedly notice that the height channels are used very tastefully for mostly the music and sound effects, to help build this large sound (as mentioned) which seems very fitting about this Atmos mix. The music here, all throughout, is driven primarily from the front left & right channel speakers, along with a very nice amount of rear channel presence, and (as mentioned) across the height channel speakers. Fit for a King: The Style of Elvis– Essentially the same as the others, though this one focuses on the costume design. Surround usage is nicely drawn, coming alive for the performances, with the ambience of the crowd and the various stages spread around and above the listener. There are various spot effects that make full use of the speaker array thanks to Luhrmann’s high energy montages and use of visual effects, but my only criticism of the sound mix here is that there is such a difference between the musical performances and the rest of the film with regard to its use of the entire speaker array that I always wanted just a little more ambience and atmosphere from the speakers during the many off-stage moments….

the entire film is a whirligig of kaleidoscopic images, split-screen montages stitched together with machine gun editing and a kinetic sense of motion that never lets up ability, stage presence, dramatic moments?

These are all in HD (high definition) with Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo sound — unless otherwise noted below. One thing that really sets this film apart from any other biographies about Elvis is the fact that the actor here (Austin Butler) actually performed the songs himself for the most part mixed in with some of the real-life Elvis. As much as I love the 1979 TV Movie “Elvis” directed by John Carpenter, I can’t say that Kurt Russell performed those songs himself like in this 2022 film with Butler. That really sets it apart more than anything, aside from telling things from the narrative perspective of “Colonel Tom Parker” which is genius. It plays out a bit like some sort of “Sympathy for the Devil” of sorts, and again Hanks delivers one unforgettable performance here as what most would consider an unlikeable person or conceivably even villain. even more convincing. Still, this is ultimately a purely digital image through and through, and one with a varied color palette that ranges from dark
