Zack
Snyder
pushed
digitally
enhanced
movie-making
into
a
new
dimension
with
300
(together
with
many
brilliant
CG
artists,
of
course).
Here
he
tackles
another
highly
respected
graphic
novel
(by
Alan
Moore
and
Dave
Gibbons)
and
turns
the
super-hero
cliché
on
its
head
with
skull
crushing
impact
and
amazing
visualization.
With
an
alternate
history
(including
Nixon
still
president),
a
masked
group
of
justice
distributors
(which
the
authorities
would
label
vigilantes)
known
as
Watchmen
take
care
of
problems
the
police
can't.
Having
started
many
decades
before,
the
torch
gets
passed
on
by
these
characters
once
they've
aged
too
much
to
be
effective.
But
now,
they
are
systematically
being
killed
off.
The
tale
is
narrated
by
Rorschach,
a
voracious
opposer
of
crime
and
evil,
and
gets
in
contact
with
the
remaining
heroes
to
warn
them.
These
men
and
women
live
relatively
ordinary
lives,
except
for
Mr
Manhattan,
a
nuclear
scientist
whose
body
was
altered
by
an
accident,
giving
him
amazing
powers.
A
global
threat
looms
with
American
and
Russian
nukes
on
the
brink
of
being
launched,
a
dark
plot
being
hatched
involving
the
Watchmen.
While
most
of
these
heroes
are
dedicated
to
righteousness,
some
of
them
are
extremely
flawed
personalities
capable
of
shocking
acts.
Watchmen
is
one
spectacular
motion
picture.
This
single
disc
release
is
unfortunately
low
on
extras,
and
only
includes
an
interesting
piece
analyzing
the
world
of
the
Watchmen
and
its
possible
basis
in
science.
