Wonder follows the inspiring story of the Pullman family, whose youngest child, Auggie, is a boy born with facial differences.

The Wonder home entertainment release includes all-new special features, including a never-before-seen 5-part documentary, multiple featurettes, a music video, and an audio commentary with Stephen Chbosky and R.J. Palacio. The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray also features Dolby Vision high dynamic range (HDR), growing Lionsgate’s library of titles featuring both Dolby Vision and Dolby TrueHD. Dolby Vision transforms the TV experience in the home by delivering greater brightness and contrast, as well as a fuller palette of rich colors.

Together Dolby Vision and Dolby TrueHD allow consumers to experience both cutting-edge imaging and lossless audio sound technology for an immersive entertainment experience.

OUR THOUGHTS:
We love, love, LOVE this movie. For one, who doesn't love the combination of Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson?! That, my friends, is cinematic GOLD. The story is absolutely heartwarming, and helps to instill values like equality, fairness, and not judging a book by its cover. On a personal note: Auggie, the little boy in the movie, reminded me so much of a boy I went to Elementary school with about a zillion, trillion years ago. He, too, was born with some abnormalities, and people weren't always compassionate or understanding. Sometimes it's hard, especially for kids, to warm up and show kindness when someone appears so incredibly "different". After all, we fear what we don't understand. In "WONDER", I love the fact that Auggie's experiences weren't sugar-coated. His fear, his loneliness, and his insecurities felt very authentic and real. These are feelings we've all experienced, especially if we have something that makes us different than our peers. Of course, I was thrilled to see that Auggie and his family had a very happy ending, which I won't ruin by spoiling here. I would absolutely recommend "WONDER" for anyone who enjoys a feel-good film that also touches on hard topics, such as bullying, choosing kindness, and learning to accept people despite their external differences. Overall, we give "WONDER" 2 enthusiastic thumbs up. Be sure to grab some tissues though, as this movie make me leak a few times.
