I fell in love with Supergirl when I was seven years old. 30 years later, I got to see her again in a wonderful TV series that made me feel like a kid again. Both recent Supergirls have been different interpretations, with The Flash’s Sasha Calle being traumatized. Milly Alcock’s this year is a party girl with basis in Woman of Tomorrow and it is a fun tale of becoming.
The 4K UHD is all clear and vivid from her morning hangover and the Knoll farm to intergalactic dive bars. Since she travels between planets, there is some deep space with pure black between stars, as well as in the cave on one planet and hallways of ships and their cargo holds. The variety of colorful aliens glows vividly.
Full surround sound captures space action, all the pew pews in the rear. Kara’s heat vision zaps around 360 degrees. Alien chatter provides background noise in the rears. Lobo (Jason Momoa) zooms around on his motorcycle kicking up dirt behind him.
A full slate of bonus features highlights the practical work by Legacy FX and stunt work done by the stars and their stunt performers and trainers, while also presenting the visual effects and other digital work. Behind-the-scenes captures Alcock and David Corenswet’s first meeting, both in their blue costumes. Much is discussed about adapting Woman of Tomorrow too.
There is a cute Krypto animated short and two deleted scenes include more on the Knoll family farm before Ruthye (Eve Ridley) loses her family, and a longer shopping trip where Kara preps Ruthye for space travel.
