Constantine (4K Ultra + Digital)

The disk itself does make a difference thanks to the HDR really making this movie pop. The scenes from hell are amazing looking now and the shadow details make this movie look even better. I am lucky enough to have this paired with a OLED in a dark room. Thanks to this being on disc I do not have to deal with compression issues that come thanks to streaming, both visual and audio. All this combined makes for an amazing movie experience and leaving nothing wanting.I want to give a quick word on the end for the audio, encoded with Dolby Atmos. This is not because I find it lacking but because I also am lucking enough to be able to watch it with a full 11 speaker Dolby Atmos/DTS:X audio setup. While the new audio encoding on the disc makes a difference from the stand Bulray. It is still shows that this was made before Atmos was really an idea for theatrical/home release. Again they did a very did a very good job but what it it lacks is not the fault of the disc but of the time.For those that have not seen the movie, absolutely worth a watch/purchase. For those who already love this movie, this is a worthy upgrade.

This definitely challenges how we see or rather may not see the world. What I love about this movie is that it is not that gore scare, possession type movie. There is actually a story behind it. I also appreciate that this is not written around a love sequence or love triangle between the main characters. Everyone in this film has their place, and story. If you have never questioned reasons or timing of events in life, this movie just may get you wondering. Highly recommend.

The Dolby Atmos sounded amazing, the rain, thunder and whispers sounded super clear, like it was coming from all around you! It's a huge upgrade from the Blu-ray version that only has regular Dolby Digital sound. Overall the movie is a Keanu Reeves classic, great movie.

Arrived as promised in excellent condition. Great movie and glad to finally get it on Blu-ray!

i love this movie: the noir style, the dynamic and chemistry that reeves has with Weisz, it not your typical reeves movie where he plays as the nice guy, he's really a jerk as Constantine. LOL yeah u see fake outrge about the changes they made to benefit for the overall story.to the hypocrites that has the problem with this movie are the same ppl that likes joker movie follows none of joker's origins from falling into a tank of acid bcuz of batman, to being an insane but also a mastermind that ran that Gotham's criminal's underground organization it's only joker in name only. putting face paint does not make him joker, that trend started only bcuz of ledger in the dark knight from that face paint crap and joker does not exist without batman, just like venom doesn't exist without spider man, but u hear no one cry about that. ppl also bring up rotten tomatoes when their critic gave them a low score but what kills their narrative is that Rotton tomatoes issued an apology later 20 years later since the announcement of Constantine 2 by peter stormare.ok so with ALL THAT OUT OF THE WAY AND OUT OF MY CHEST.BACK TO THE REVIEW OF THE MOVIE. it's a must watch, that has a little bit of everything drama, crime, horror suspense. i love the concept of how hell looks and how we're smash in a middle of a world behind a world and that demons and angels are living amongst us as influencers. peter stormare and tilda swinton are at their best as Satan and Gabriel. Shia LaBeouf as chas also adds a little bit of comedic touch without taking away from the stakes and intension. at first i didn't think Djimon Hounsou would be good for the role bcuz i saw him in Angelina Jolie's tomb raider he was very meh but in this movie he is the perfect casting as poppa midnight and just adds realism to this world. in fact the entire cast is on their A game.

Sadly I missed out on the Hellblazer series by DC Comics under the Vertigo label when this film was first released. Based on these great graphic novels. Constantine is about a hard-smoking & drinking guy who is not just an exorcist, but a guy who can see the Other Side. In the film's mythology, both heaven and hell are in place with Earth. Hell looks like L.A. during a nuclear holocaust. So what else is new?Anyway, the film does have its share of plotholes which I found distracting. These guys are scavenging around a junk yard in Mexico when a board breaks and a guy pulls out a knife wrapped in a Nazi flag and immediately becomes possessed by it. The Sword is explained later in the film but not the Nazi connection. How did it get there? Did the Nazis use these artifacts?When our young possessed man walks, cattle fall dead at his feet which is a cool effect but not many others drop dead, just animals. Huh? OK, I can live with that.Rachael Weisz is the police detective whose twin sister dies jumping off a building. I did note in these kinds of movies, glass breaking and lots of water ensue. Quite interesting how the director uses these ploys to try to evoke mood and mythology. At times it works, as with the green-eyed cat used by Constantine to check out Hell. How Rachel's character's twin knows Constantine is never explained, either.Despite the insipid acting of a police detective (I mean, would you be an L.A. cop and let yourself be placed in a tub of water by a guy who lives above a bowling alley? Yes, suspension of disbelief, but really now), the on-again-off-again Gabriel angel and the under-appreciated Shia LeBoeff, the special effects, the story and the mood went at a decent pace. Enough to keep you interested in what happens next and the surprising but underwhelming ending.Keanu Reeves is his usual over-serious self, does a great conflicted character as he tries to buy his way into heaven despite the demerit suicide of his younger life. Long story.My DVD had an alternate ending which was "OK" but still left me wanting. The deleted scenes were thankfully deleted. :PI'll probably pick up the Garth Ennis graphic novels first and watch this again. Not a bad entry into the Constantine mythology.Better:John Constantine, Hellblazer: BloodlinesJohn Constantine, Hellblazer: Dangerous HabitsJohn Constantine, Hellblazer: Rake at the Gates of Hell

A good movie from 2005! Love it! ❤💎
