Pacific Rim [Blu-ray] [2016] [NTSC]

Product Information

Enjoying a modest but noticeable uptick in detail over the already reference 1080p Blu-ray, the 4K release boasts staggering crystal clarity for all the tech inner workings, whilst the grand scale of the robot Jaegers looks even more epic this time around, battle damage finely observed, and Kaiju creature nuances equally graced under the 4K microscope. Surround Sound Presentation: My favorite surround moments are heard when Jaeger pilots enter into a drift. And, for all the problems with taking a leaf out of Michael Bay's playbook, one huge benefit is that the grand setpieces are almost always set in broad daylight, where you can finally revel in the immense scale of the action without scratching your head as to what exactly is going on. Although dominated by building-shaking, ground-quaking LFE-edged action, it's still an impressively nuanced affair, offering discrete surround dissemination and keen attention to the details - from the tech gear in the Jaegers to the thrum of the energy-pulsing Kaiju. Look above Pentecost in that same shot, how posterised the darker regions above his head look in the SDR disc.

Intricacy of Robot Design (HD, 4:53) – Here’s a very cool one as we get to sit in an early design meeting about the Jaeger machines and see first hand how concepts evolved into giant metal warriors. A personal favorite scene is Jake's speech just as the team is about to launch into Tokyo where the sun shines and bounces off the metallic parts of the uniforms, the Jaegers, the Shatterdome platform and glimmers off the clouds in the sky with such an amazing picturesque quality that it almost feels like a real photo from the set. With the release of the sequel, there isn't a better time to revisit the first movie in all its 4K glory.

Outside of my three lives I live I also enjoy spending time with my girlfriend and our three girls (of the furry kind). Admittedly, Jing Tian, as ruthless businesswoman Liwen Shao, offers another mildly worthwhile character whose turn in the third act generates some amusing laughs. Yes, I actually increased the contrast just a little bit in the picture I posted above not to the extent of your processing. Blade Runner looks okay in 4K HDR, but 2049 is light years ahead of it in picture quality even though it's a lower resolution. On a technical front, it may be limited by a semi-skimmed upscale, but that's not what it looks like: it looks like reference excellence.

There are a few washed out moments because of all the employed CG, but if you ask me, that’s to be expected. In the situation here, with a 2K DI, there's clearly nothing to be gained compared to an excellent upscaler like madVR NGU.

alien monster anime ever created – most notably the seminal Neon Genesis Evangelion– acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro’s mega-budget Summer blockbuster Pacific Rim somehow managed to be more than just the Transformers vs.Pacific Rim remains a spectacular demo title which enjoys an upgrade for its 4K release in terms of full 3D immersive HD audio courtesy of a Dolby Atmos track, itself founded upon an already reference Dolby TrueHD 7. Pacific Rim was an usual blockbuster, with the scale and impact of a Transformers movie, but the vacuous void at the core of every one of Bay's sound and fury sequels filled - to some extent - by more thoughtful visionary director Guillermo del Toro's sensibilities. Geoff is right, PR is one of those cases where Optimizer can't bring all the highlight information, at least not in every shot. As usual with these there are a couple of genuinely funny moments amongst shots of people pulling funny faces.
