This is a Blu-ray that makes every stunt and scenic location a treat for the senses. Was one of the most anticipated films to hit theaters in 2018, and while the interpretation viewers saw broke heavily from the equally loved and loathed book from which it was spawned, Steven Spielberg’s rushing rainbow of a film is packed with fantastic moments to show off all your home theater has to offer. Hero Wade Wilson’s online persona, Parzival, and his many CGI friends are etched in striking detail, while the 4K rendering showcases the virtual world in which they exist, known as “OASIS,” in all its glorious hyper-realism. Dolby Atmos adds in immersive sound, pulling you deep into the virtual world. Are you ready? With The Last Jedi, director Rian Johnson could have sat back and coasted on the success of its predecessor.
Instead, he while also paying homage to Star Wars fan favorite The Empire Strikes Back. Thanks to the impressive cinematography of Steve Yedlin, this film is even more visually interesting than The Force Awakens, and this makes the film’s spectacular action sequences even more impressive to watch.
The sheer amount of eye candy in this movie is reason enough to bring it home to show off your TV and surround sound system. The UHD Blu-ray packs Dolby Vision HDR in addition to the 4K resolution, with impressive contrast and brightness that may have you starting to turn away, depending on how bright your TV gets. The audio is a treat as well, with Dolby Atmos adding a dimension of height to the sounds, making the movie’s grander moments stand out even more. Marvel’s Cinematic Universe has been a media juggernaut for some time now, but the sheer amount of movies to keep up with has left even some hardcore fans feeling fatigued. Despite or perhaps because of that, Black Panther was both a and a reminder of why fans fell in love with this universe in the first place. Helmed by Creed director Ryan Coogler, Black Panther combines fast-paced action with striking effects, making it a visual treat. With Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10, the UHD Blu-ray brings the same stunning picture from movie theaters to your home theater with very little lost in translation.
