Video Review
Watching this movie when it was origionally release in 2009 in a movie theater and it looked amazing!! I hadn't seen anything that looked as good as it did. Those visuals, back then, were a head of its time. Truly a masterpiece in cinematography. Watching it now in 4kUHD and it looks even better but not by that much. It's a testament to just how well this movie was done.
Sound Review
There was no way to experience true surround sound at home for most people in 2009. The best that we could get was 5.1 when it was released on DVD. There was no Dolby Atmos back then. But now, there is and this movie's implementation is amazing, truly amazing. This is a great movie for home theater enthusiasts to be proud of. You should add this movie to your collection now!
Summary
This is a crown jewel for any home theater enthusiast movie collection. Great video? Check. Amazing audio? Check. Original and enjoyable story? Check. There's nothing else to say.
