The up-scaled image is marginally sharper with some enhanced detail over the 1080 image, but overall it still appears relatively soft, even close up detail of skin texture and clothing weaves show only modest improvements. Shot digitally in 2011, the source resolution is, by today’s standards, low and the picture shows it. We reviewed the Region free UK Ultra HD Blu-ray release of TFA on a Panasonic 65DX902B Ultra HD 4K TV with a Panasonic DMP-UB400 Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The disc presents an up-scaled 3840 x 2160p resolution image in the widescreen 2.40:1 aspect ratio, and uses 10-bit video depth, a Wide Colour Gamut (WCG), High Dynamic Range (HDR), and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec for HDR10. It is easy to pitch TFA as the inferior brother, but there has to be a start somewhere, and seen as an allegory for Rogers himself, the first film has the heart to carry it through.Ĭaptain America TFA was shot digitally using a combination of Arri Alexa, Arriflex 235 and Arriflex 435 cameras with a resolutions of up to 2K and finished as a 2K DI which has been used for this Ultra HD Blu-ray release.
And whilst the MCU would go on to much bigger things, the Captain America parts of it contain some pivotal aspects, with its Winter Soldier proving to be one of the best films in the whole of the MCU. As a film, it is somewhat ordinary, hitting all the right beats to tell its story, and indeed is surprisingly heartfelt at times (the relationship with Peggy) but its mainstay is as a stepping stone to bigger and better things. The First Avenger is an origin story, of both the titular character and the Avengers, for without one, you cannot have the other. Unfortunately, he can’t get in as his ailments and stature see him being denied time and again, that is until he is given the opportunity to become a ‘super soldier’, taking a top secret formula to develop his physical attributes strength, speed and agility that turns him into the fabled superhero and one to lead not only his own band of men to secure victory, but eventually the Avengers themselves. Steve Rogers is a 7 stone weakling, but wants to fight for his country, to be someone who can be counted on and has the determination to see it through. The little guy, with a big heart, standing up for what he believes is right is quite literally who Captain America is.
