Admittedly, there's an obvious push to the grading that gives skintones a somewhat orange tint, but this was clearly intentional on the part of the filmmakers to lend the image a warmer tone, which makes a change from the blue-biased transfers of many modern movies. Primaries, such as the red outfit Jinx wears during her dojo training in Chapter 1, are richly saturated. The image is no slouch when it comes to colour presentation, either. Every individual strand of hair, every facial wrinkle and the intricate stitching in the costumes are clearly delineated and plain to see. Joe: Retaliation joins the elite ranks of Blu-ray platters that deliver reference quality visuals. Make no mistake about it, this is a remarkable AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode that constantly dazzles. If a third movie makes it to screens, we won't be complaining. Joe: Retaliation takes the film series back to its army action-figure roots and is all the better for it. Stripped of the dumb gags and overt sci-fi trappings of its predecessor, G.I. Joe, General Joseph Colton (Bruce Willis) to help stop Cobra Commander (Luke Bracey) from bringing his diabolical plan for world domination to fruition Cotrona), Snake Eyes and Jinx (Elodie Yung) – must seek out the original G.I. Now the handful of survivors– Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki), Flint (D.J. Joe force in a sneak attack masterminded by the US President (Jonathan Pryce) – who is actually Zartan, the Cobra master of disguise. And Tatum's character only gets about 10 minutes of screen time before being killed alongside almost the entire G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, only Duke (Channing Tatum) and Snake Eyes (Ray Park) return for this second outing. Now here's a curious thing: a film that is both a sequel to a recent action blockbuster as well as being a reboot of the entire franchise. Paramount's spectacular Blu-ray shows that there's still some life left in this old solider.
