LEGO's latest movie is all about Flash, and it's titled The Flash, which isn't very flashy, but it does get the point across that this is Flash's movie. And Reverse Flash's movie, for that matter. The villain, who is faster than flash (and a speeding bullet, it would seem), is out to do his thing and bring his own brand of havoc to Metropolis. He has The Flash frazzled, but things pick up when Flash slows down to take a moment to rely on more than his (now waning) speed to put in motion a plan to save the day. The film doesn't deviate from classic LEGO formula. It's quick-paced and compact in runtime. It's a nuts-and-bolts production that brings enough humor and action, in equal proportions, to satisfy the brand's quota and entertain audiences who haven't grown weary of the formula.
LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash zooms onto Blu-ray with a very high-yield 1080p image. Problems are few. There's very little shimmering, but there is some banding (significant in spots) and macroblocking visible. Otherwise, it's smooth sailing. Colors are impressively bold and rich, very glossy and bright, with plenty of display-pushing diversity on hand. Flash's red and Reverse Flash's yellow costumes are obvious highlights, but so too are Joker green and purple and various other colors worn by heroes and villains alike, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Poison Ivy. Clarity is superb, and the image is home to some pleasingly complex details, particularly in close-up where small plastic ridge texturing is tactile and plainly visible. Otherwise surfaces are a bit plastic-y in classic LEGO fashion. Those issues mentioned at the open of this paragraph are of some concern, but this is otherwise a very satisfying image of impressive textural accuracy and color explosion.
LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack features some impressive use of surrounds. General track activity is very active and agreeably fun, with zipping and swirling sounds enjoying full range within the five channels available to it. Sound traversal about the stage is seamless, while low-end support elements are nicely integrated to give the film a hefty, but never overbearing, bottom. Chaos often erupts all over the stage, and the track is engineered well enough to offer a seamless sense of traversal while maintaining sound field clarity. Music plays with healthy definition and full-stage immersion, including a fairly hearty, at times, surround implementation. Dialogue is clear and well defined with natural front-center placement and prioritization.
Beyond some trailers for a couple of other LEGO films, Warner's Blu-ray release of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash contains no extras. A DVD copy of the film and a Movies Anywhere digital copy voucher are included with purchase.
LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash is typical of the LEGO brand. While it, obviously, lacks the high-end excellence of the LEGO feature films, it holds its own with excellent digital graphics, a fun little story, a quirky sense of humor, good pacing, and a wide DC universe character roster. Modest expectations are key, as is a willingness to take the movie at kid-level face value. Video and audio presentations are excellent. No extras are included. Recommend, particularly to superhero and LEGO fans, young and old alike.
