Thanks for the review. Having missed this theatrically, I don't want to buy the blu ray. I will stream it in UHD and wait for a 4k disc.

Does the digital included with the Blu-ray give you the 4K Atmos version on Apple platforms?

It usually does if you have your Apple TV/iTunes account linked to Movies Anywhere and then stream using the Apple TV app on any device that supports Atmos.

Nice review, The previous 2 films were enjoyable Christie-esque timelines but given a more speeded interaction for a more modern audience. I look forward to viewing this one as well, Thanks Todd.

Disappointed that it was not shot on 65mm this time.

I just don’t get why they couldn’t release the 4K on disc.

Doesn't that only work if you can redeem the code directly at Apple? But most recent movies don't allow that because the studios are trying to bypass the 4K upgrade.

The movie looks great, but I found the story and some of the acting a bit underwhelming. It's still a bit of fun. It's one of the few times that I picked the killer within about 5 minutes of the main characters being introduced.

No matter who you picked as the killer in ORIENT EXPRESS- You were right. Lol.

No, many of the movies that I’ve redeemed in HD on Movies Anywhere playback with Dolby Atmos on the Apple TV app.

The intimate nature of the film, including what looked like GoPro closeups of Branagh as he was going down the stairwell, pretty much demanded smaller, lighter cameras. It looked swell.

This is a modern 65mm film camera. I don't think it would have been a problem.

So did I but still fun.

The Blu-ray was one of my Christmas presents & I may watch it tomorrow evening (I know how to have a wild time on New Years Eve!).

So what did you think?

 

[Wayne Klein]

The choices for 4K releases are truly bizarre sometimes. This is a movie that cried out for a 4K release. In terms of its look.,

Maybe Sony will revisit it for 4K later on down the road.
