It was probably one of the first movies which really showed the value of Dolby Vision can add. In this candy-colored wacky fantasy universe, the format really adds something to your experience by adding more color-overload. I've seen it in standard DCI colors and Dolby Cinema/Vision and I'd say this is the first time I've seen such a striking difference.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-23-2017 06:51 PM                        The movie was good, I didn't find it as "awesome" as many people have, but I liked it. It's bringing in people two and three times, so that's a sign it's a crowd pleaser. I thought "Baby Groot" got a little tiresome. I'm looking forward to the next movie when he'll (apparently) be Sullen Teenager Groot. The Zune punchline was pretty funny. Chris Pratt made the movie for me overall. I'll give it 3 out of 5 stars.  |  IP: Logged
