Minions: The Rise of Gru

Product Information

The first of the prequels was a good introduction, but the sequel takes things to the next level with mini Gru acting as the perfect partner to the Minions’ mayhem. It’s not that he steels the show as such, it’s just that he creates a far more fun and interest dynamic onscreen, giving the film way more opportunities for laughs, action, adventure, excitement, intent. The film does look tremendous, making use of the best in cutting edge technology that sees this as the most advanced picture of the If you’re short on time, our Minions The Rise of Gru DVD, Blu-ray and digital review is simple.

Minions: The Rise of Gru is not exactly a deep movie. In fact the story is as paper thing as you can get. The original Despicable Me movies were cute and adorable films about Gru and becoming a “good” villain, while the Minion movies are just silly vehicles for yellow twinkie hijink, and this one is no different. The plot with Gru is simple and straight forward, with most of the 88 minute film (80 minutes and 50 seconds without credits) runtime being nothing but an excuse for Kevin, Bob, Stuart and Otto to do their gibberish voices and do crazy things.

Minions: The Rise of Gru was animated digitally at 2K resolution, upscaled to 4K, and then graded for high dynamic range (both Dolby Vision and HDR10 are included on the disc). The film was framed at 2.39:1 for its theatrical release, and that ratio is replicated here. (There’s a “formatted for IMAX” logo during the closing credits, but it appears that The Rise of Gru was nevertheless shown at 2.39:1 on IMAX screens.) The results show the typical advantages of upscaling at the uncompressed 2K source rather than the user’s end via compressed 1080p Blu-ray, but there are some interesting quirks in this particular case. Fine detail is definitely improved compared to the Blu-ray, but facial textures appear smooth and featureless when seen from normal viewing distances, even when projected on a larger screen. Yet there’s a surprising amount of fine detail to the skin of the characters when examined up close, although that also makes the 2K origination more obvious. It’s a win some, lose some situation. That’s not really an issue with the transfer, however; instead, it’s just a reflection of the way that the textures were lit during animation. The shading is too subtle, so the details don’t stand out as clearly from a distance. On the other hand, textures like clothing and hair are much better resolved; Belle Bottom’s afro and her frilly outfits really stand out.
