Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family’s past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring. Rocky Balboa is there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis will confront their shared legacy, question what’s worth fighting for, and discover that nothing’s more important than family. “Creed II” is about going back to basics to rediscover what made you a champion in the first place, and remembering that, no matter where you go, you can’t escape your history.
Creed II arrives on 4K UHD Blu-ray with a 2160p presentation in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio. - The movie has a very stylistic look. Scenes in Russia look cold, grey and blue. Philly has a lot of earth tones, LA and the desert has more saturation and a feeling of light from the sun. Where the HDR difference shines is in the boxing matches. The final bout looks stunning with bright orange flames, crisp blues and deep reds. Black levels are also improved on the 4K presentation with more noticeable details in shadows. If you're ready to rumble 4K is the way to go with this one. 9/10
Audio is provided by a Dolby Atmos track. - Dialogue reproduction stands toe to toe with the best of them. The extra height channels really add to the atmosphere with some interesting use of effects. One notable one is the music hopping over the listener around the whole room when Adonis is training in the desert. The battles inside the ring come to life and make you feel like you went 12 rounds yourself. Deep bass punches you in the gut, and the selection of rap tracks as well as the score exhibit rich, powerful bass notes. 9.5/10
