In “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” “Magic” Mike Lane (Channing Tatum) takes to the stage again after a lengthy hiatus, following a business deal that went bust, leaving him broke and taking bartender gigs in Florida. For what he hopes will be one last hurrah, Mike heads to London with a wealthy socialite (Salma Hayek Pinault) who lures him with an offer he can’t refuse…and an agenda all her own. With everything on the line, once Mike discovers what she truly has in mind, will he—and the roster of hot new dancers he’ll have to whip into shape—be able to pull it off? (Gary Reber)

Special features include the featurette "Magic Mike’s New Moves" (HD 0:24), deleted scene (HD 08:05) and a Movies Anywhere digital copy.

The 2.39:1 1080p picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was photographed digitally using the Red V-Raptor camera system and sourced from a 4K master Digital Intermediate format. The picture appears natural and realistic. The color palette is rich and warm with strong primaries, The stage lighting is colorful and enhance the dance excitement. Flesh tones are realistic. Contrast is well balanced with deep blacks, revealing shadow and natural white levels. Resolution is excellent, particularly during closeups. This is a good-looking picture that provides diverse lighting situations. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack features a pop orchestral and song score that provides extended surround envelopment as well as the audience reaction for the stage show. Atmospherics sound realistic as well as Foley sound effects and sound effects such as the deep bass thunder and rain dance segment. Dynamics also sound realistic. Dialogue sound intelligible with generally good spatial integration. Narrative dialogue is position forward with a strong presence. This is a satisfying holosonic® soundtrack. (Gary Reber)
