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. On the plus side, this means that the 4K Blu-ray release looks and sounds amazing, almost matching up to its predecessor, which was something of a benchmark for upscaled 4K discs on release. Universal Studios Home Entertainment brings Pacific Rim: Uprising to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray as a two-disc combo pack with a flyer code for a Digital Copy.

It makes all the difference to del Toro's style of bathing the battle sequences in rain and darkness too, as now black levels are much more refined, bringing shadow detail to the fore, and allowing the primaries - neon lights, and the glow of the alien energy, as well as the various weapons - to ignite the dark backdrop. upon the stellar, previously released 2015 Blu-ray in every way: textural clarity, color, and black level perfection.

Nonetheless, I can't imagine many complaining, and in the end, the object-based mix delivers several demo-worthy moments. I went IMAX 3-D and my ears bled in ecstasy from the stomping of the robots feet on the hard pavement to the smashing of their fists into the jaws of the Kaijus. Depth: Characters all feel living and breathing on my 4K television screen as they literally pop in three-dimension from the blurred out, depth of field backgrounds.Goth-Tech (HD, 4:39) – The artists who had a hand in creating the colors and unique look of the post apocalyptic world of Pacific Rim chime in here. John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity's victory against the monstrous "Kaiju. Whilst Pacific Rim: Uprising was shot digitally at higher resolutions, it's one been afforded a 2K VFX pipeline and Digital Intermediate, leaving it with a semi-skimmed upscaled 4K image which has been used here for this Ultra HD Blu-ray release.

That tagline is indicative of just what mankind does as a response to build the only kind of weapon that has a chance against these monsters. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes--a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)--who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Out of the multitude of films shot or released in 3D, there were - and are still - only a handful that truly excelled in the format, including the flagship vehicle Avatar, with noteworthy mentions for the likes of Dredd and Gravity.
