Wonder 4K (2017) Ultra HD 2160p REMUX Review
Wonder is presented on 4K UHD courtesy of Lionsgate Films with a 2160p transfer in 2.40:1. This may just be "new equipment excitement", since this is the first release I've reviewed since upgrading to Dolby Vision capable equipment, but I have to say this is one of the nicer looking Lionsgate 4K UHD discs that I've personally reviewed, despite the fact that the film traffics in kind of "pedestrian" locations, without a lot to offer those searching for nonstop visual allure. There are a number of noticeable detail upticks throughout this presentation, though many of the elements are on the mundane side, like being able to more clearly read the print on all the hospital wristbands from Auggie's many surgeries that Isabel keeps tacked to a board, or the fabric on a kind of ribbed sweater that Jack wears late in the film. Dolby Vision provides a nicely burnished upgrade and tweaking to the palette as well, with some tones, like the Pullman's bright yellow couch, achieving a kind of deep hue that isn't quite as evident on the 1080p Blu- ray. I was also frankly relieved to see I experienced absolutely no image instability in the many lateral pans throughout the film, which makes me wonder if perhaps my previous equipment was contributing to my experience of that anomaly. While shadow detail is marginally improved in some of the darker moments, it's not as dramatic as I personally was expecting, perhaps the only area in this presentation that might have arguably been improved.

We Need this type of movies nowadays!

It is an emotional, funny & uplifting story. I was fully sympathized with August Pullman. It was so wonderful to see and feel everything through him. The way he describes everything is so beautiful. Also, knowing the story from the perspective of certain characters made a strong connection between me and them.

I read the book. It was awesome too. Some details were changed in the movie but were good changes and there are some details from the book I hoped the movie to show it and it didn't but that didn't affect the movie in a negative way. Everything was simple, clear and on point. The movie has strong messages about kindness, love, appreciating everyone for who they are and true friendship.

Jacob Tremblay proves again his talent as an actor. You won't recognize him because of the makeup but his expressions, voice and eyes were really persuasive. All the kids are amazing. Izabela Vidovic surprised me a lot. Julia Roberts is excellent and Owen Wilson was great. He was exactly as I imagined him while reading the Book.

Finally, Stephen Chbosky. Great job man! Once again he made me care about the characters and he portrayed them beautifully specially the kids. He let them shine in every scene.

I loved this movie so much. I had a great and enjoyable time with it. I laughed and cried. It is pure and heartwarming. This is a perfect family movie.
