[loyis7]

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group has released the full details on the December 4 home release of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises and has also revealed that a "Dark Knight Trilogy Limited Edition Giftset" is coming (though some might want to wait until the "Dark Knight Trilogy Ultimate Collector’s Edition" comes in 2013). An app for mobile devices is also on the way. Here's the announcement followed by the artwork:




The Dark Knight Rises” arrives this holiday season onto Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital Download on December 4 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group. In the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, Gotham City is threatened by the masked terrorist Bane, forcing Batman to return from an eight-year absence and fight for his city one more time.

Also available will be the free “The Dark Knight Rises” app for IOS 5.0 or higher compatible devices including iPhone and iPad, and Samsung Galaxy devices including S2, S3, Note, Nexus and Tab (operating system requirements vary by device). Building upon the already available “TDKR: Gotham City’s Most Wanted” app, “The Dark Knight Rises” app will be updated in two phases. The first update, which will be available in late October, will include several interactive activities such as a photo application that will allow users to put themselves into a Tumbler, a video application that will allow users to insert a Tumbler into their personal videos, and more. The second update, which will be available on December 4, will integrate second screen functionality into the app. It will allow users to sync compatible mobile devices with the Blu-ray disc via BD-Live enabled Blu-ray players connected to the same Local Area Network to access exclusive bonus content. The bonus content will include film location information, Gotham City maps, film trivia, photo galleries and “making of” featurettes. In addition, the second screen app controls playback of the film on your TV via Blu-ray player. “The Dark Knight Rises” app will be available through the iTunes store and Google Play.

“The Dark Knight Rises” will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack for $35.99 and on single disc DVD for $28.98. The Blu-ray Combo Pack features the film in hi-definition on Blu-ray and in standard definition on DVD. “The Dark Knight Rises” Blu-ray disc takes advantage of the marriage of IMAX and 35mm formats by using the hybrid master to replicate the unique theatrical experience of integrated film formats. Both the Blu-ray Combo Pack and the single disc DVD include UltraViolet which allows consumers to download and instantly stream the standard definition version of the film to a wide range of devices including computers and compatible tablets, smartphones, game consoles, Internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray players.*

Also available December 4, just in time for holiday gift-giving, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release “The Dark Knight Trilogy Limited Edition Giftset,” featuring “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises” all in one collection. Available on Blu-ray or standard definition DVD, “The Dark Knight Trilogy Limited Edition Giftset” will also include a premium book exclusive to the collection, which takes fans deeper into the epic franchise, as well as existing special features. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment also plans to release “The Dark Knight Trilogy Ultimate Collector’s Edition” in 2013.

Leading an all-star international cast, Oscar winner Christian Bale (“The Fighter”) again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. “The Dark Knight Rises” also stars Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy as Bane; Oscar winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose”) as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake. Returning to the main cast, Oscar winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”) plays Alfred; Gary Oldman is Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”) reprises the role of Lucius Fox.

The screenplay is written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven, who previously teamed on “Batman Begins” and the record-breaking blockbuster “The Dark Knight.” The executive producers are Benjamin Melniker; Michael E. Uslan; Kevin De La Noy; Thomas Tull; with Jordan Goldberg serving as co-producer. The film is based upon characters created by Bob Kane and published by DC Comics.


SYNOPSIS

It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.

But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.

Αναφοράς είναι το Dark Knight.Αυτό δεν φτάνει το επίπεδο του.Είναι ένα-δύο κλικ πιό κάτω,ειδικά σε στα σκοτεινά πλάνα.Προς Θεού δεν λέω ότι έχει προβλήματα αλλά του λείπει αυτό το wow factor που είχε το Dark Knight και οι σκηνές(πρόσωπο του Joker,ο μαύρος ουρανοξύστης κτλ..) που ξεβράκωναν ό,τι έβρισκαν μπροστά τους.

The video

Spoiler

'The Dark Knight Rises' features a near-perfect high resolution AVC MPEG-4 encode, which swaps between 2.40:1 and1.78:1 aspect ratios in an attempt to mirror the film's IMAX presentation.

Many were disappointed about 'The Dark Knight' Blu-ray because it used the IMAX master which featured DMR'd (upconversion, sharpening and noise reduction) 35mm material alongside native IMAX footage. Complaints included excessive edge enhancement and a limited contrast ratio that overtly crushed black levels. Those overseeing this Blu-ray seem to have avoided the same mistakes. I didn't see any halos, though if you look very very close, you can see some very minor banding and some flickering vertical lines. Also, while blacks do crush -- as intended, I would argue -- contrast levels are pretty dynamic and mirror the film's theatrical presentation perfectly.

Other than than a few nitpicks, 'The Dark Knight Rises' looks great. Especially the native IMAX-footage (cropped from 1.43:1 to 1.78:1 to fit HDTV screens), which is reference quality. This filmic experience has unbelievable amounts of resolution and depths, so much so that the film feels 3D at times. A window into another world, if you will. The film's color palette is generally muted, but blues are especially icy (in city lights, skies, and The Bat's headlights). Skin tones may be a little on the warm side.

Now, the native 35mm material doesn't look quite as perfect. I'm not sure whether or not it has been through the IMAX DMR process or not, but as I said above, it doesn't feel like it's been over-sharpened to compensate. Next to the native IMAX footage, the widescreen sections of the film are slightly less clear, though there's a chance is a trick of the eye because 1.78:1 footage uses approximately 33% more pixels on an HDTV display than 2.40:1 footage and is, therefore, noticeably brighter. Regardless, while colors and contrast appear to match between all elements -- the film's use of IMAX cameras is like a documentary in that it sometimes changes aspect ratio for as little time as one shot -- the 35mm footage seems less clear and crisp.

Despite a few minor flaws, 'The Dark Knight Rises' looks fantastic on Blu-ray. The IMAX footage is reference quality, and the 35mm footage looks very good too (just not as great), and thankfully less manipulated than 'The Dark Knight' Blu-ray.

The audio

Spoiler

Thanks to its bombastic, concussive and ultra-aggressive 5.1 DTS-HD MA track, your neighbors are gonna loathe the day you bring home 'The Dark Knight Rises' on Blu-ray. (Just ask mine. Since I started this review, the guy below me has responded by turning his always-loud-and-repetitive-dance-music up to 11. But joke's on him -- I'm still 20dB below reference.)

Some will argue the IMAX footage is the star of this Blu-ray release, but this is perhaps the best six channel sound mix I've ever heard. Many of you probably remember the controversy earlier in 2012 following the release of the film's six minute IMAX trailer. I can personally attest that Bane's digitally manipulated voice was lost in the gunfire, jet engines, and tearing metal carnage. In the cinemas, this was corrected, and on Blu-ray, I can't say if things were further altered, but Bane's voice is a definite highlight. While every piece of dialog in the film is complete clear and prioritized, Bane's extends across the entire front sound stage conveying a sense of power and brute strength.

Sound effects, music, and LFE complete the sonic masterpiece. Individual effects are clear and resolute; panning right to left and front to back is exceptionally immersive, as are world-building crowd sequences like Wall Street and the football stadium. Han Zimmer's grinding electronic score is like a full on orchestral in your living room. Bass-lovers rise and cheers, because this Blu-ray is a room shaker, but never over done. The bass notes are crisp and punchy, adding an overall sense of dread and tension. And don't worry, it's not just that this track is loud, which of course it is, but it has so much range from the quietest moment to the most bombastic.

In fact, I enjoyed this soundtrack so much I have no complaints. This reference quality sound mix will test any system and, if not properly handled, annoy the neighbors. If Nolan's team can do this with 5.1, I can't wait for his first official 7.1 or Dolby ATMOS mix.
