Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is set to release “The Flash” on 4K UHD in a brand-new edition that will also include a digital copy of the film. The 2023 superhero feature from DC Studios faced an uphill battle due to COVID-19 delays, various post-production setbacks, and the film’s controversial star. Yet the movie delivered big action, good humor, and some terrific fan moments. Its self-referential style and open-armed embrace of nostalgia was icing on the cake. Read my full review of the film HERE.
This feature-filled 4K UHD version of “The Flash” will release on August 29th. See below for a full synopsis and release information.

From the Studio:
Worlds collide in “The Flash” when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?

The screenplay is by Christina Hodson, with a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein and Joby Harold, based on characters from DC. The executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Walter Hamada, Galen Vaisman and Marianne Jenkins.

Keith & the Movies 
There’s enough in this movie to warrant me buying this, but I wouldn’t consider it a great movie. Batman and Supergirl are definitely worth the entry fee, though.
Not sure I would call it “great” as a whole. But I really liked it. More than I expected. This is really good home video edition. Looks amazing on your TV and the features are fun.
I’m out.
LOL
I don’t know. Once I get MAX (as my mother and I are cutting the cable out for good in the coming weeks), I will see this just to catch up on the DCEU.
It’s much better than the “popular” sentiment would have you believe (and despite its baggage). Really impressed with this edition.
