Gemini Man is one of the most technologically advanced films ever made in the history of cinema. Ang Lee (Life of Pi, Hulk) approached Gemini Man in a forward-thinking way: what is the future of cinema on the whole, what will cinema look like in ten years, and what are the possibilities for 3D film presentations going forward? It appears that the idea Lee has for cinema is to involve using a combination of high frame rate (HFR) and 3D.
In an action-packed thriller, Gemini Man brings Will Smith up against a younger clone of himself. It's a showdown of Smith vs. Smith. The fate of the world may hang in the balance. As the story twists and turns in unexpected directions, Smith is joined by an all star cast that includes Mary Elizabeth Winstead (10 Cloverfield Lane), Clive Owen (Children of Men), and Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange). Will the destruction of everything lay in the wake of tomorrow or will the dawn lead to a rise of a hero?
"Coronavirus on target."

A visual feast for the eyes, Gemini Man is a spectacular 3D presentation that stands as one of the best 3D films of 2019. Visionary director Ang Lee once again utilizes the 3D medium to present his latest film in a revolutionary format. While the film was released in HFR 3D in cinemas (and is in standard 24fps on this 3D Blu-ray), the presentation is nonetheless spectacular to behold. Filmed with native 3D cameras, Lee utilizes the medium to the best of its ability.
Lee specifically approached the 3D material with high brightness and clarity in mind (in order to provide audiences with a more immersive and engaging presentation for the material). While those viewers interested in the HFR version will need the 4K disc to supplement the 3D presentation, I have the upmost confidence that 3D enthusiasts will find the release a remarkable and engaging method of experiencing the film (and in the best method available).
From the moment one puts on 3D glasses, the stunning clarity on display is outstanding. From the subtle texture on Will Smith's clothes to the outstanding production design on full display in each sequence, the 3D depth makes the filmmaking come alive with greater realism. While the 3D does contain fewer "pop-out" moments than Life of Pi (which I regard as one of the greatest 3D films ever made), the technical precision of the presentation is simply breathtaking. It's clear that Lee takes every element into consideration when filming for 3D. A stunning visual experience.
The release includes a top-of-the-line lossless Dolby Atmos track that brings audiences even closer to the action. The audio is enormously engaging with exceptional fidelity throughout the presentation. Dialogue is consistently clear and easy to understand. The score comes alive with great vitality. A worthwhile (and highly atmospheric) surround track that utilizes the surround fields with ease.
For a full review of the Atmos audio please refer to the review by my colleague Martin Liebman.
The release includes the same supplemental materials found on the standard 2D Blu-ray release found in the 3D/2D Blu-ray combo pack. No supplemental materials are included on the 3D disc (which is utilized specifically for the best audio/video presentation for the 3D experience).
Please refer to the review by my colleague Martin Liebman for more information on the supplemental features.
Far from a masterpiece but entertaining where it counts most of all, Gemini Man is an action-packed thrill ride with a spectacular native 3D presentation that is a must-see. Will Smith provides a commendable leading performance in this action-thriller that pushes the technological envelope to the max. A remarkable experience heightened tenfold by the bright, vivid, and fun 3D experience. This is a fantastic disc that belongs in every 3D enthusiasts collection. Highly recommended.
