The Spirit won’t be available on bluray in Europe for another few weeks, so I got my paws on a copy via Amazon US.
If you’re a fan of 300, then you will simply adore The Spirit.
It doesn’t matter whether you know anything about the comic books on which the film is based. This film is all about visual and audio pleasure.
Of course, with a cast that includes the likes of Paz Vega, Scarlett Johansson, Jaime King, Eva Mendes and Seychelle Gabriel, there’s plenty of “eye candy”, but the pretty ladies aren’t the film’s main merits.
The film was almost entirely shot using “green screen” and then put together in post-production. Translation – the actors were walking around without any actual scenery for most of the shooting!
The colours palette is incredibly vibrant, with the violet of the main character’s tie in the opening scene practically jumping off the screen.
As for the audio – it is beautifully mastered high definition audio throughout.
If you want to see yet another one of those films that will truly bring home the meaning of high definition, then The Spirit should be on your list.
