DREDD 4K ULTRA HD / Import / Includes Blu ray

Product Information

Dredd Featurette (HD, 2 min) – As you can probably tell from the generic title and short runtime, this is total studio promotional fluff, with more footage from the movie than anything else. Olivia Thirlby anchors the audience as Judge Anderson. Anderson is psychic, and her powers come to play a major role in the film. Despite this, she's a neophyte and we experience the world through her eyes. Thirlby is very solid, providing us with the sole character arc in the film, as she goes from scared trainee to battle-hardened Judge. If your only experience with Lena Headey is from Game of Thrones, then you might not even recognize her here as the brutal and sadistic Ma-Ma. Warped and scarred, Headey is a potent villain who proves to be quite the match for Dredd. The movie is amazing. This movie is a must have for any collector of Steelbooks or movies in general. Unfortunately, the Steelbook is weirdly cropped. Dredd's head is cut off as it curves around the top and the bottom text is cut of as it starts to curve but it isn't a deal breaker for me. The spine was also slightly misplaced as it is not centred correctly but again, not a deal breaker. The delivery was fast and secure and I am very happy to finally have this movie in my collection. Many people don't know this, but there's more to the world of comic books than superheroes. In fact, many of the brightest names in American comics started writing in other countries, especially Britain, which has a distinct comic book industry that in many ways takes more chances than Marvel, DC, Image, or Dark Horse. Take 2000 AD as an example. This sci-fi anthology magazine debuted in the mid-70's, and in the second issue it featured a strip called Judge Dredd. The title character of the strip was a stern, no-nonsense cop living in an absolute police state. The property proved so popular that the strip has run non-stop in every issue of 2000 AD ever since. Even more surprising, the comic takes place in real time, meaning that one year of our lives is one year in the world of Judge Dredd. The comic is incredibly ambitious, with many storylines taking place over the course of six months or more.

Five years later, with still no sequel on the horizon, fans of Dredd can finally breathe a sigh of relief at the news of a Dredd TV show which will hopefully maintain the style and ethos of this faithful adaptation, whilst similarly utilising budget-friendly locales and smaller-scale stories to keep the costs down until it achieves the success it deserves. The only news fans are still waiting to hear is whether star Karl Urban - who, despite his excellent McCoy, and despite never getting to see his face here, will probably always be regarded as the definitive Dredd - will sign up for it. The 3rd Dimension (HD, 2 min) – Dredd was shot in 3D, and this featurette talks about that process. We also get a look at the slow-motion cameras used for the Slo-Mo sequences and get to see a lot of the camera tests they ran to get the blood to look the way they wanted. Judge Dredd is so popular in his native Britain that his name is used as a byword for the threat of a police state. Sadly, in America, most people's only exposure to the character is the 1995 Sylvester Stallone vehicle. While that movie has some fun elements, it did a terrible job of translating the comic to the screen. It's also tainted the franchise in American eyes so thoroughly that the character is considered something of a joke by anyone who hasn't read the brilliant comic books. As a result, another attempt at adapting the property to film hasn't happened for almost twenty years. But finally Alex Garland, author of The Beach and screenwriter of 28 Days Later, Sunshine, and Never Let Me Go, managed to get the funds together to make a low budget film, this one titled simply Dredd. Although not a perfect release, this powerful use of the new format's technology still puts it in demo territory

Picture Quality

The blu ray disc is exactly the same as the plastic box version and there aren't any new extras, but it didn't really need them.

Conclusion

Dredd develops a strong visual style, immediately distancing itself from the Stallone version. Dredd is dirty, grimy, and feels incredibly real. The film was shot in South Africa, with Cape Town and Johannesburg standing in for the east coast of the United States in a post-apocalyptic Mega-City. I was very impressed with the production design of Dredd. It feels like a place that could exist under the right circumstances, instead of the Blade Runnergone mad look that defined the 1995 film. Even more arresting are the "Slo-Mo" sequences. Slo-Mo is a drug that slows down time for the person high on it, and the filmmakers take great care to show these trips, turning gunfights into slow-motion ballets of death. Dredd takes this even further than films like Hard Boiled or The Matrix, using newly developed cameras that shoot at 3,000 frames per second, for an unparalleled sense of slow motion. The results are stunning.
