Bonus Features: ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ hits 4K with stunning visuals
On the heels of the massive success of “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” DC Comics are back in the spotlight as “Wonder Woman 1984” heads home on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital.
While the “Wonder Woman” sequel may not have been as highly praised as the long-awaited Snyder Cut, Gal Gadot’s iconic hero still delivered plenty of excitement, alongside returning co-star Chris Pine and newcomers to the franchise in Kristen Wiig and Pedro Pascal. After the franchise kicked things off in the gloomy days of World War I, director Patty Jenkins trades in the dreary grays of war-torn Europe for the neon lights of America in the 1980s.
After living a relatively quiet life amongst mortals for nearly seven decades, Diana Prince (Gadot) must once again step up to save the world. This time, her nemesis come in the form of excess. On one side, there’s businessman Maxwell Lord (Pascal), bound to stop at nothing to become the most powerful man in the other, while Barbara Minerva (Wiig), aka Cheetah, simply wants to be more confident, like Diana. With the help of her long-lost lover, Steve Trevor (Pine), only Wonder Woman can save the world… again.
The home release on “Wonder Woman 1984” is here, and it comes loaded with bonus features. Let’s take a look.
