Synopsis (courtesy of imdb.com)<\/strong>:
\nA cocky test pilot, Hal Jordan, acquires superhuman powers when he is chosen by “the Ring”, the willpower-fed source of power, of the Green Lantern Intergalactic Corps. He, reluctantly at first, takes on the challenges these superheroes face. Putting his self-doubts aside, and spurred on by his sense of duty and love for his beautiful, intellectually equal, colleague, Carol Ferris, he is soon called to defend mankind from Parallax, a super-powerful being who feeds on fear. He is the universe’s last chance, as many Lanterns have been killed and the Corps is weakened. And he might just be the right Lantern for the job of keeping the world safe from harm.<\/p>\n

My Take:<\/strong>
\nAs far as park-you-brain-at-the-door movie, this movie is surprisingly good.\u00a0 Of course there is no real story per-se but the mindless battles and comedic touch is a welcome change to the overtly serious tone approach that\u2019s been used for all the Marvel superheroes movie.\u00a0 The picture quality is decent although not mind blowing with CGI and live action blend ranging from ridiculously apparent to highly transparent.<\/p>\n

It is hard not to be impressed with the innate quality of lossless surround sound as this type of movie benefits from its inherent attributes. The sonic activity through out the movie is engaging and\u00a0 the active surround mix that has extended dynamic range renders the movie\u2019s action based elements amazing although not to the point of jaw-dropping. There are several sequences that effectively transform the room into a three dimensional sound field filled with immersive half-dome 360 degree surround activity that engage the listening position from multiple directions. LFE channel produce deep, authoritative bass that energizes the room. This is a rewarding and dynamically enhanced sound design that features high level sonic detail, excellent directional correlation, and rhythmically charged bass that makes for an involving audio presentation in my theatre room.<\/p>\n
