    Special features include

    The 2.39:1 HEVC/H.265 Ultra HD Dolby Vision/HDR10 picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was photographed digitally in anamorphic /i Scope using the Arri Alexa 35 camera system and sourced from a 4K master Digital Intermediate.

    The futurist setting and imagery throughout is sharp and clear. The color palette appears naturally saturated. Hues ae perfectly realistic. Colors pop with vividness. Flesh tones appear perfectly natural. HD contrast is excellent. Black levels are deep and solid. Shadows are revealing. White levels are brightly illuminated. Spot lighting is effective. Resolution is superb with fine detail exhibited throughout. Facial features expose skin pores, lines, beard stubble and hair. Costumes reveal fine fabric texture. Structures, sets, props and object texture is vivid. This is a sharp and detailed presentation, (Gary Reber)

    The Dolby Atmos/Dolby TrueHD 7.1-channel soundtrack is dynamic and boisterous with excellent presence. The sonic elements are active with an aggressive sound field presence. Atmospherics sound convincing. Sound effects are quite active along with intense mayhem during the violent action actions. Bass support is subdued except for the occasional bolt of .1 LFE energy, The orchestral score delivers seemingly constant presence with a active rhythmic drive. The music occupies a wide and deep soundstage with aggressive extension to the surrounds. Surround energy provides an enveloping sound field. Dialogue is intelligible throughout with generally good spatial integration.

    The Immersive Sound element is limited to an extension of the music to the height layer as well as a very brief screaming audience reaction. Seemingly constant, the music enhances the dimensionality of the sound field, but could have a more aggressive presence. And other sound effects treatments would be desirable.

    This is a satisfying holosonic soundtrack with excellent ear-level dimension. (Gary Reber)

    I read Widescreen Review because there is no other magazine on the market that will teach me everything about home theatre gear. I will feel more confident speaking to a salesman when the time comes to upgrade my system. Your knowledge and expertise in WSR have made me a better customer and a joyful home theatre enthusiast. Thank you all at WSR for a job well done, and continue to teach the way you have since the beginning.
