So I spent $30+ go get The Revenant which comes with an HDR10 coded 4K disk. I hastened over to FoxRedeem.com to get my Vudu and iTunes version to find out:
- The code only redeems in HD, not 4K.
- Since it's not in 4K, no HDR. My TV is awaiting a patch to see HDR10, but is currently Dolby Vision capable. I can't watch either the disk or the Vudu stream in HDR right now.
-Despite saying on the box "Watch on ALL YOUR DEVICES" you only get to redeem the code on one spot. Normally I'd have redeemed on iTunes and not cared about the Vudu side but since I want to watch in 4K HDR I redeemed on Vudu first. Big mistake.
If I want to buy the movie on HDR at Vudu it's another $40. You don't even get a discount if you want to upgrade to 4K HDR.
Seriously this whole situation sucks. Warner gives you a 4k HDR code at least when you buy a 4K movie. It would be nice to get an iTunes code too but at least there's that. The Fox code is basically worthless to me since I can't even load this up on a file and take with me on a portable device the way I could have if I had only redeemed on iTunes first.
Frustrating.
