too, from returning favorites to newcomers adding their own flair and spice to the Minions universe. This is a very capable film and a In terms of digital, the US market is starting to make this even available earlier, but with a much higher price tag, so you might want to look into this option if you’re mulling over the early access digital rental instead of taking the family to the big screen. With prices in cinemas getting up to eye watering amounts these days, it might make sense for anyone on a budget. DVD and Blu-ray details The first of the prequels was a good introduction, but the sequel takes things to the next level with mini Gru acting as the perfect partner to the Minions’ mayhem. It’s not that he steels the show as such, it’s just that he creates a far more fun and interest dynamic onscreen, giving the film way more opportunities for laughs, action, adventure, excitement, intent. Minions and Monsters – Follow a newbie Minion as he joins three more experienced Minions in playing a 1970’s fantasy role-playing game. After struggling to gain the skills needed to master the game, the newbie unexpectedly rises to the occasion and saves the day, earning him the magical crown and the appreciation of his buddies.

But sometimes Minions have a casual day out and can abandon their work attire for something more fashionable. Here’s how can create fresh new fashion for YOUR Minions!
Minions: The Rise of Gru was animated digitally at 2K resolution, upscaled to 4K, and then graded for high dynamic range (both Dolby Vision and HDR10 are included on the disc). The film was framed at 2.39:1 for its theatrical release, and that ratio is replicated here. (There’s a “formatted for IMAX” logo during the closing credits, but it appears that The Rise of Gru was nevertheless shown at 2.39:1 on IMAX screens.) The results show the typical advantages of upscaling at the uncompressed 2K source rather than the user’s end via compressed 1080p Blu-ray, but there are some interesting quirks in this particular case. Fine detail is definitely improved compared to the Blu-ray, but facial textures appear smooth and featureless when seen from normal viewing distances, even when projected on a larger screen. Yet there’s a surprising amount of fine detail to the skin of the characters when examined up close, although that also makes the 2K origination more obvious. It’s a win some, lose some situation. That’s not really an issue with the transfer, however; instead, it’s just a reflection of the way that the textures were lit during animation. The shading is too subtle, so the details don’t stand out as clearly from a distance. On the other hand, textures like clothing and hair are much better resolved; Belle Bottom’s afro and her frilly outfits really stand out. The film does look tremendous, making use of the best in cutting edge technology that sees this as the most advanced picture of the As that description should make perfectly clear, Minions: The Rise of Gru is very much Gru’s story, despite the fact that this is a Minions film, not a Despicable Me film. Yet he’s nothing more than a subtitle to the main title. Universal Pictures certainly knows where their bread is buttered, so the supporting characters get top billing, while the lead has to settle for having his name after the colon. At this rate, it wouldn’t be surprising if the next film in the franchise is titled Minions: Despicable Me 4. Now, that’s not exactly a bad thing either. The minions themselves are hilarious, and the film works just fine as a mindlessly entertaining film to giggle at their antics. Moral of the story? Go into The Rise of Gru knowing that this is an excuse to watch the minions make a billion dollars for Universal with crazy hijinks, and you’ll end up probably being satisfied with the movie. It’s cute, stupid, and generally just good natured fun.
