Time goes by but not for Big family of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), who, as always, lives to run and runs to live. Even if it is no longer the time to make ends meet on illegal racing and crime, lack of work on the part ofthe so-called “Agency”a secret organization formerly led by “Mr. Nobody” (Kurt Russell) that operates without the restrictions imposed by most government agencies.

Too many noses and not enough brains
Adrenaline and speed within actions, brought to ever more paroxysmal levels they didn’t disappear and in this too FastX, minus the enjoyment of the cinematic experience live without worries, witnessing the chaos created by vehicles that refuse to obey the laws of physics. In that penultimate chapter of the franchise What F&F lacks more than in the past is, above all, the script. Already Fast & Furious 9 – Fast Saga it overloaded events with ridicule, sentimentality, and irony without interruption, but was more moderate and usable with the usual frivolity of a better-conceived show.
Two years later a new movie is one proud of excesses without any limits, dramatically increased both in the number of events and in duration (141 minutes). Is it all related to change of direction in development, only a week since filming began Justin Lin he quits due to conflicts with Vin Diesel and is replaced by another action veteran Louis Leterrier (franchise Conveyor), is unknown. The fact is that screenplay written Lin along with the unknown Dan Mazo (Rage of the Titans) more than ever cut with a knife and bordering on embarrassment, in an attempt to remain as original as possible in the action. In addition to the accelerator, which has long been in place, a whole arsenal of NOSE cylinders is involved here. bordering on cartoon.
villain of the moment interpreted Jason Momoa runs on AC, apparently, a damned insane person brought onto the stage: he kills the first comer with unheard-of fury, plays with two corpses, painting his nails with them, shows off a ridiculous lavender outfit during a race in Rio. Character so bust which, for this very reason, may have been welcomed by many.
Expected sequel ironic conversationsin this moment worn out beyond measure, where, unfortunately, both Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris do not shine, suffocated between the lines of the script. They also slip away into the void new entry:a good guy is unwittingly comical Alan Ritchson (Series reaching) AND Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) as the daughter of “Mr. Nobody”. The main event ends abruptly just when there seems to be no way out for Toretto and his son Brian. Answer in continuation scheduled for 2025hopefully with less dysfunctional verve and spirit of action.

Compared to HDR-10, dynamic metadata provides more flexibility and precision in terms of selection cinematographer Stephen F. Windon, a veteran of the franchise: this suggests that at least the UHD / HDR version deviates from it to a lesser extent. In this sense, it seems reasonable to assume that transitions in low ambient light correspond to artistic choice. Of course, more dynamic compression (SDR) makes the overall visual image differently usable on the Full HD Blu-ray included in the steel book.

Listening to a true multi-channel system brings back a dynamic soundstage, and the presence of four surround channels on stage never ceases to contribute to abundant effects.
