During a special screening for DreamWorks Animation "The Wild Robot", I watched the film with HDR By Barco Experience.

This High Dynamic Range (HDR) with Lightsteering technology brings more brightness, color, and contrast to movies on the big screen.

Note: I was invited as media to the event. However, any views expressed are always 100% my own.


And with a movie as visual colorful as The Wild Robot, the HDR laser technology really enhance the film. For the scenes that are bright and colorful, it's like a painting. But for the dark and night scenes, images are still sharp and clear.

I was fully able to "see" all the colors and textures of the different scenes in The Wild Robot. Which is important because the movie is so touching and it's own full experience.

The Wild Robot Review

At first The Wild Robot seems like just another animated film about a Robot going on a fun and humorous adventure, while learning about animals and it's self. With a witty sidekick!

But the themes of finding your unique family, accepting yourself, even when your different and finding your purpose in life, takes this film to a level of heartwarming intensity.


While as a parent, I totally related to Roz struggle to care, grow and prepare a living "thing" into it's grow-up stage. The emotional and mental process of doing that, is something everyone can connect with.

We all want to be good friends to others, we all want to know we've done good things with our lives, we all want to be useful, appreciated and loved.

The Wild Robot and it's message is made for everyone. Just bring along tissues.

HDR by Barco :



New York is one of only five cities in the United States to premiere this new premium movie format from Barco, the leader in cinema laser technology.

Based on the company’s patented Lightsteering technology, Barco’s approach to HDR works by strategically redistributing light on screen to produce highlights that are over 6x brighter than traditional projection, while retaining rich details in the darks for greater depth, clarity, and range.

HDR by Barco delivers expansive creative possibilities for filmmakers, producing a wide color gamut with high-contrast images that captivate audiences.

In addition to the unparalleled visual benefits, Laser by Barco is an environmentally responsible solution, consuming as much as 70% less energy than the standard Xenon lamp-based projector.

Laser technology has a smaller carbon footprint overall, with less heat dissipation, lower HVAC needs, the elimination of waste from consumables and lamp disposal, and a longer lifespan.

SYNOPSIS

The Wild Robot | Final Trailer



From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot.

The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.

The Wild Robot stars Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong’o (Us, The Black Panther franchise) as robot Roz; Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) as fox Fink, as goose Longneck; Kit Connor (Heartstopper, Rocketman) as gosling Brightbill.

Along with Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, Best in Show) as opossum Pinktail; Oscar® nominee Bill Nighy (Living, Love Actually) and Oscar® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once, this summer’s The Fall Guy) as Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island.

The film also features the voice talents of Emmy winning pop-culture icon Mark Hamill (Star Wars franchise, The Boy and the Heron), Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows, The SpongeBob Movie franchise) and Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Ving Rhames (Mission: Impossible films, Pulp Fiction).

A powerful story about the discovery of self, a thrilling examination of the bridge between technology and nature and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things.

The Wild Robot is written and directed by three-time Oscar® nominee Chris Sanders—the writer-director of DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods, and Disney’s Lilo & Stitch—and is produced by Jeff Hermann (DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby 2: Family Business; co-producer, Kung Fu Panda franchise).
