The all- encompassing Dolby Atmos track that features here is an absolute cracker, and easily one of the best that we’ve heard – and we’ve heard a lot of them! Meanwhile, the sumptuous 4K Ultra HD vision is HDR-infused.

With its wild colours and HDR enhancement it really looks quite spectacular, but it’s the absolutely huge Dolby Atmos sound mix that really elevates it to the kind of disc that you demo your home cinema setup with.
