The kingdom of Wakanda has been hidden from the world for a very long time. With its technological advancements, it has used them to continue to hide and improve its nation. However, this all changes when T’Challa’s father dies and leaves the kingdom to him. T’Challa finds himself not just as the king of Wakanda, but also trying to protect the world from those who would use its technological advancements for the wrong reasons. Marvel Studios’ Black Panther tells the story of how T’Challa takes on the role of Black Panther and also king.
Quality
Black Panther is a visually stunning movie. It captures the looks and feels of the various locations used and creates an environment that draws the viewer into the story. Yes, there was CGI used, but it was used very effectively. Couple this with a solid soundtrack and set of sound effects and this is just a beautiful movie to watch. There is more to be seen each time the movie is watched, and more to be heard.
Extras
There was a nice collection of extras included with Black Panther. They were enjoyable and added depth to the film-making process for the movie. I did find myself wishing there was more included though. This isn’t a complaint about what was offered, more just a yearning to learn more! This movie is so good I really want the bonus feature collection to be equally awesome. You will enjoy watching the bonus features and find yourself wishing for more if you are anything like me.
