Natalie, Dylan, and Alex are Angels and they work for a man named Charlie at the Townsend Agency as private investigators. They are beautiful, highly skilled, and resilient. Individually, they are tough but together, they are practically unstoppable. At the agency, their point of contact with Charlie is Bosley and they communicate with Mr. Townsend through a speaker box.They are tasked to find a computer genius named Eric Knox who has been kidnapped. It is believed that it may be a rival named Roger Corwin and that he is after Knox’s revolutionary voice-recognition system.
CHARLIE’S ANGELS is directed by McG and this is his first feature-length film. The Angels are Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu. They were cast when the trio was in the height of their popularity and that was part of what was going to pull in audiences. The supporting cast are legends in their own right with Tim Curry, Bill Murray, and the barely known (at the time) Sam Rockwell.

VIDEO QUALITY:
The video is a 2160p HEVC presentation that looks gorgeous. This has always been a colorful film in the HD format but the transfer here has been kicked up a notch. The coloring is bold with brilliance in so many places. The reds during the Asian-themed party are so striking but not overpowering. The same goes for the blue in the ladies’ racing suits. The blacks are deep and create some interesting contrasting. They are also leveled properly in the darker scenes. Skin tones are warm and natural. The clean look of the details has also been raised for the format and shows a lot of the elements that have not been seen before. These include facial lines, textures in clothing, and intricacies of various settings. You can tell that Sony took a lot of pride in making a stellar release of one of their biggest moneymakers.
AUDIO QUALITY:
The audio is a Dolby Atmos mix that sounds updated to match the video transfer. The points of action fill the channels when needed but it’s not as strong as you might think. This is possibly from changing the original mix to the Atmos version. The party scene has a lot of ambient sound and music works here too. Sound effects are big and as bold as it suits the film’s style. Loudness doesn’t always mean better and these effects are loud. Dialogue is clear and well prioritized.
