A Few Words About A few words about...™ ex machina -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[Robert Harris]

Those who read my original few words regarding Alex Garland's ex machina almost two years ago, will know that I hold this film in high regard.

Lionsgate has now released the film in a new 4k Blu-ray, with HDR, and the upgrade is as obvious as it is mesmerizing.

Lionsgate has a superb record of offering true 4k product, and this is yet another example.

Everything is more highly resolved, with rich black black, and subtle highlights and shadow details.

Track remains DTS:X, which is full and all-emcompassing.

I tend to look askance at publicity quotes, as those seeking to add them to packaging usually have to dig deep to find someone with true experience, giving praise.

This one rings absolutely true.

Peter Travers, of Rolling Stone, is quoted: "A mesmerizing spellbinder. You've never seen anything like it. Oh, baby, you you no idea."

For those who have not yet experienced this film, I suggest that you grab a 4k copy pronto. A standard Blu-ray is included for those who have not yet upgraded.

I'm supremely jealous of those seeing this for the first time.

Fantastic, this is another title that as soon as I saw the pre-order go up I ordered. I agree with you 100% it is one of those movies that you walk away going wow!

 

[Johnny Angell]

Holy crap, it's only $16.77 for a blu ray and a 4K disc.

 

[DavidMiller]

Yep, why can't more catalog titles be this way.

Holy crap, it's only $16.77 for a blu ray and a 4K disc.

And with a new commentary to boot.

And with a new commentary to boot.

I didn't know that.

 

[Dick]

I didn't know that.

Well, now that I begin to read actual reviews of the disc, it appears that a commentary has NOT been added. This pisses me off, because earlier reports of one led me to order this, in spite of the fact that I am probably years away from converting to 4K.

Is the standard Blu-Ray included with the UHD and upgrade over the previously released Blu-Ray?

My guess it is the same one.

An excellent, compelling film. I cannot think of a way in which it could have been bettered.
