With the release of Justice League Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One on Blu-ray we sat down and checked out the new release that will soon be followed by parts two and three later in the year.
Death is coming. Worse than death: oblivion. Not just for our Earth, but for everyone, everywhere, in every universe! Against this ultimate destruction, the mysterious Monitor has gathered the greatest team of Super Heroes ever assembled. But what can the combined might of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern and hundreds of Super Heroes from multiple Earths even do to save all of reality from an unstoppable antimatter Armageddon?!
Based on DC’s iconic comic book limited series ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’ by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, join DC Super Heroes from across the multiverse in the first of three parts of DC’s new animated film Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths — Part One, which marks the beginning of the end to the Tomorrowverse story arc.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, the all-new, action-packed DC animated film features some of DC’s most famous Super Heroes from multiple universes including Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, who come together to stop an impending threat of doom and destruction. The film will be available to purchase exclusively on Digital Download on 9th January and on 4K UHD + Blu-ray in limited edition steelbook packaging on 29th January with standard Blu-ray coming soon.
The Blu-ray release of Justice League Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One looks crisp and clean with a superb soundtrack and 5.1 mix, the story itself flows nicely through the various Earths with the story being more focused on The Flash and Iris West than the actual Justice League, but don’t let this put you off as this all works nicely to pull everything together in the first of the three partners.
It’s great to see so many of the DC characters coming together in the one movie, it can get a little misleading at times with the way the timeline is set but if you knuckle down and watch the movie without any distractions, then everything flows nicely and you can keep on track of what is going on through through 92m runtime.
It’s going to be interesting now to see where Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths — Part Two and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths — Part Three will take us on this journey of the Infinite Earth when they are released later in 2024.
The Blu-ray features several extras allowing fans of this superhero adventure to indulge in a range of bonus features including interviews with the filmmakers on how they created a comprehensive universe across seven films.
