Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers...and her true destiny.

I'll be honest that when I saw the first trailers and images for Wonder Woman I was underwhelmed. The positive reviews upon box office release intrigued me but I still waited to watch it at home. When I sat down a couple nights ago to watch Wonder Woman on 4K Ultra HD I was enthralled by this wondrous film. Gal Gadot is strikingly beautiful but brings genuine warmth and pathos to the inspiring Amazon Wonder Woman. I wanted to spend the entire film on the hidden island.
Chris Pine is likeable as a military spy on the run from Nazi's. Gadot and Pine have nice chemistry together. The movie has good pacing and thrilling battle scenes. Now that I have been stunned by how great Wonder Woman is I'm even more excited to see Justice League. 9/10

Black levels were consistently deep and shows no problems with shadow delineation. 9/10
The 4K Ultra HD presentation carries over the pristine quality of the Blu-ray and benefits most from HDR. Themyscira the hidden island is absolutely stunning. Lighting and details are more defined and are noticeable. Black levels remain strong. 10/10
