Video Review
I reviewed this copy from my 4K Blu-ray disk and it looked much better than the 4K streamed version I saw months ago on Amazon Prime. But that should be no surprise. I have yet to watch a streamed movie that looked or sound better than a disk. You can expect a great looking image throughout the movie on a quality TV or 4K projector.
Sound Review
The use of surround sound was consistant throughout this movie. There was no scene that stood out with exceptional sound, either. That makes for an enjoyable watching experience but not great. The Atmos speakers were used throughout the movie and the LFE was reserved for the explosions. And I only noticed a few moments when sound moved across the room.
Summary
This is a good movie to add to your home theater collection if you like sci-fi or action movies. But it's not a movie that you would use to show off your home theater system.
