One of the best movies of the year, "Wonder Woman" (out Tuesday on home video) inspires as it entertains.
Israeli actress Gal Gadot dazzles as the Amazonian superhero, who ventures from her secluded island during World War I to save the "civilized" world from itself. Along the way, she regularly comes to the rescue of American agent Steve Trevor, well-played by Chris Pine.
Director Patty Jenkins deftly captures the strength of Wonder Woman in lovingly staged fight scenes. Gadot makes her and alter-ego Diana Prince believably human at every other turn.
The Blu-ray offers glorious Dolby Atmos sound and a slew of behind-the-scenes extras.
Also out Tuesday
• "The Bad Batch"
• "The Big Sick"
• "Certain Women"
• "The Hero"
• "Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars"

Movie Review: Brooke Shields and Benjamin Bratt deserve more than Netflix's 'Mother of the Bride'
Romantic comedies are in a destination wedding rut. Perhaps it's a collective post-COVID wanderlust kicking in, or, more cynically, some combination of tax credits and a place producers want to spend time. But between '' Ticket to Paradise,'' ''Anyone But You,'' '' Shotgun Wedding '' and now Netflix's '' Mother of the Bride,'' the conceit is starting to curdle.
