    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ Cloverfield (redux) -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Not at all. "Better looking" in this case doesn't mean that it looks like Midsommar does in 4K. It still looks like camcorder footage either way. The whole point of the aesthetic is preserved.

    Aside from the Panasonic AG-HSC1U used for the flashbacks, that's not quite true. It was all shot at 1080p, yes, but while the interior workhorse Panasonic AG-HVX200 could be described as prosumer, all of the exteriors and effects footage were shot on either a Sony CineAlta F23 or a Thompson...
