GETTING INTO THE 4K GAME Hooking yourself up with a disc-based PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X? If having the latest tech in gaming isn’t enough, you’re also unleashing a whole world of 4K Ultra HD movie watching – and once you’ve tasted 4K, there’s no going back. Words Amy Flower

BLADE RUNNER: THE FINAL CUT The only one of a confusing array of five cuts that director Ridley Scott actually had full control over hit 4K with fully-restored vision and audio. Set in the far future world of, erm, 2019, everything about the HDR- enhanced 4K transfer and Atmos audio track here is superb, resulting in a top shelf 4K experience that makes it hard to believe that the film dates back to 1982.

To help you in your trip into 4K, STACK ’s gamer

types have curated this collection of must-see 4K Ultra HD releases for you to check out, highlighting the best that the format has to offer.

DEADPOOL The “merc with a mouth”

breaks more than the fourth wall as his origin story is laid bare for all. We’d like to send kudos to those who did this 4K transfer, as it totally rocks. We’ll also share some love with those responsible for the super-fun Dolby Atmos sound spectacular. Hey, we’ve got a lot of love to give! Oh yeah – commentaries, gag reel, deleted scenes, “fun sack”, blah blah blah…

BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY All three classic Back to the Future films lovingly remastered in 4K to celebrate the first film’s 35th anniversary? Yes, please! Each movie, every one somebody’s favourite, comes to us in native 4K resolution with Dolby Vision/HDR 10+ enhancement, and brand-new Dolby Atmos mixes that have been created for each film. Plus, it’s also packaged with standard Blu-rays full of extras.
