Die Hard [4K Ultra-HD + Blu-ray] [1988]

Product Information

Die Hard was shot on 35 mm film using Panavision cameras and anamorphic lenses, save for limited effects shots which were done in 65 mm. The original camera negative has been scanned in native 4K, graded for high dynamic range (in HDR10) and it’s presented on Ultra HD at the proper 2.39:1 theatrical aspect ratio.

There’s a steady wash of light-moderate grain remaining that gives the image a pleasingly cinematic appearance. The HDR grade is restrained, but deepens the shadows nicely while giving highlights, police lights, gunfire, and explosions a nice bright gleam. Colors are natural but slightly restrained, consistent with this film’s unique character and overall look, yet they pop when necessary and show much more nuance than ever before.

Most will get pirated heavily by consumers who do not live in a part of the world where Disney+ offer 4K HDR streams. They get access to the kaleidescape system & record & put the 4K stream up so Disney lose all that revenue! Seeing him up against it, a normal person outmanned and outgunned, is what makes Die Hard so much fun. It’s the perfect encapsulation of the right man in the wrong place at the wrong time. The film 4K, in fact, is a prototype of dozens of films that will be released later. In the film 2160p, there is a good storyline, and a charismatic protagonist with a villain, and the atmosphere of the New Year holiday, which the terrorists try to spoil so much.director Renny Harlin. There's nothing new to learn here, really, but it's a decent retrospective overview of the series.
