Fast X finds Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family forced to tackle their most dangerous threat yet; Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa) the son of a drug kingpin they took down in Rio ten years earlier, is determined to exact revenge for his father’s death. As Dante unleashes attack after attack, Dom and his crew soon realize that Dante has more control over things than they ever believed. Such as it is, the plot doesn’t matter much. In lieu of many fully formed scenes, Dominic Toretto offers advice about fatherhood and family. The action scenes are crazy, showing the fun to be had with stunt cars and a massive CGI budget.

While Vin Diesel offers up plenty of machismo, the real star of the film is Jason Momoa’s villain. Dante is his bid to be the gayest, campiest villain onscreen. Complete with a furry bathrobe and slippers, Dante is deranged and Momoa’s performance is so disturbed, you can’t help but admire how outrageous it all is.

Momoa’s arrival is symbolic of how stacked the cast of Fast X is. The cast has grown over the years, even as characters die (or in the case of Paul Walker, written out, after the actor dies) and other stars take their place. Momoa joins the cast along with Brie Larson as a CIA fixer, with other big names returning from previous films, including John Cena as Dom’s brother Jakob, Helen Mirren as Queenie Shaw, Charlize Theron as ubervillain Cipher, and Rita Moreno as Dom’s grandma. That’s in addition to the main cast of Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriquez, Tyrese Gibson and more. This means that some actors don’t receive much screen time. Since Fast X is about action sequences and not actors, it’s all good.

Universal has delivered a 1080p transfer that looks as good as it can. Vivid throughout, colors pop brilliantly. Blacks are not quite as inky as possible but are never washed out. details are sharp—the lines on various cars are a standout. Shadow delineation is excellent. The image is clean and lacking any scratches or debris.

The Dolby Atmos track makes the cars come alive! Low, powerful bass is evident throughout. Aggressive use of surrounds provides a life-like performance, putting the viewer in the middle of the action. Car chases and explosions galore throughout the film sound great. Approaching reference quality material, Fast X is worth having around to show off your sound system. Dialogue is clean, clear and concise throughout.

English, Spanish and French subtitles are available.
