Full Metal Jacket (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital)

Product Information

Last year it was Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s masterwork, “The Shining” (1980) which also received Warner’s reference-quality 4K presentation.

Shifting from the raw brutality of basic training to the dehumanising effects of combat, Full Metal Jacket deftly combines nonstop action with scathing dark humour. as the naturally-lit environments pop with detail and show an improved level of depth and overall texture. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse.Sound effects of gunfire, explosions, debris falling, and distant shouting all sound wonderful in the surround speakers with great directionality and balance. Here are tons of interviews with Matthew Modine and the rest of the cast, discussing the making of the film, shooting on location, working with Kubrick, the themes, and characters.

The greens of training fields and the burning reds and oranges of fire and gunfire all look like they would in real life. The color timing has been slightly changed up just a bit and makes for more accurate flesh tones and even more accurate colors on the uniforms.It's what keeps humans moving forward as Kubrick shows in the final moments of this brilliant war film. Now, let’s take some time to look back on the 2007 Blu-ray Disc release of the film in comparison with this new 2020 4K UHD Blu-ray release. First, it was 2001: A Space Odyssey, then The Shining, and now Full Metal Jacket, which just looks outstanding in its new 4K with HDR10 format. Stanley Kubrick’s former personal assistant Leon Vitali worked closely with the team at Warner Bros.
