Let me start by saying - this isn't your typical polished Marvel movie. The Flash feels more like a messy but passionate love letter to DC's multiverse, complete with nostalgia bombs and some truly bizarre creative choices.
The 4K transfer is absolutely stunning - when Barry activates his speed force, the lightning effects pop with incredible HDR brightness that'll make your home theater shine. That opening sequence with Batman (Affleck version) is reference-quality demo material.
Michael Keaton's return as Batman? Pure magic. His action scenes have weight and practicality missing from most modern superhero films. That Batcave reveal gave me literal chills - they perfectly preserved the Tim Burton aesthetic while upgrading the tech.
Now the bad news: The CGI is wildly inconsistent. Some scenes (like the chronobowl sequences) look like unfinished PlayStation 5 cutscenes. It's especially jarring in 4K where every flaw gets magnified. The much-hyped Nicolas Cage Superman cameo? Let's just say it looks exactly like what it is - last-minute fan service.
The story works better than expected though! Ezra Miller carries the film surprisingly well in dual roles, balancing humor and heartbreak during the emotional climax. Just don't think too hard about time travel logic - this isn't Tenet.
Special features are meaty - nearly two hours of behind-the-scenes content including a great deep dive on Keaton's return. The Dolby Atmos mix will give your subwoofer a workout during the final battle.
Final verdict? A flawed but fun ride that DC fans will adore despite its problems. Worth buying for Keaton alone, but maybe wait for a sale if you're not a hardcore enthusiast.
