Video

Given a sweet, charming, pastel-esque aesthetic, Marcel the Shell isn't a movie of grand contrast. Dolby Vision can only do so much, and mostly in the brightness department. Rarely does the imagery use pure black.

Color keeps a mildly warmed tinge going throughout. Saturation is low by design, even paled, but attractively graded. Fruit and greenery make a definite statement at their peaks.

A grain filter sits over the digitally-sourced image, easily resolved and even convincing as actual film. Finished at full 4K, the clarity can impress along with the detail. Marcel's model, from the shell texture to the dirty shoes, swells with definition.

Audio

Surprisingly robust Dolby Atmos tracks widely around the room, capturing Marcel's movement as he passes or ziplines around. Doors close and thunder roars in specific channels. Accuracy is superb, and sounds panning overhead happens regularly.

Marcel the Shell clearly isn't bursting with explosions, but Marcel's tiny world makes everything rumble. Footsteps slam into the ground around him. Storms shake the room, and music peaks with a substantial thump.
