and clothes, and an overall sense of screen command that amplifies the movie's wares many times beyond the Blu-ray's abilities. Comparisons reveal Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" is a masterpiece of cinema, and the 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital edition only enhances the experience. This film tells the story of a group of Jewish-American soldiers who are sent on a mission to kill as many Nazis as possible during World War II. The film stars Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Michael Fassbender, and many other talented actors who bring their A-game to every scene.

This is a presentation that looks wholesale better than ever before, but does so in a very nuanced, considered wayto the creamier Blu-ray. There is certainly a clear increase in overall brightness with the HDR grading, obvious most anywhere in the film (take a look The picture is attractively filmic. It is very sharp and there's no mistaking a healthy grain structure, crisply defined faces

The Nazis have occupied all of France putting the country in a death grip of oppression. “The Jew Hunter” Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) scours the countryside searching for Jews in hiding. While in hiding in Paris, one of Landa’s missed targets Shosanna (Mélanie Laurent) runs a cinema that is set to premiere the latest German propaganda war film about a young soldier for Hitler himself. And then, arriving in France ahead of the invasion to liberate Europe of the Nazi scourge are the Basterds. Led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), a band of Jewish soldiers terrorizes Nazi divisions brutally maiming, killing, and scalping their targets. Now the Basterds have a chance to take out the big man himself and that’s an opportunity too juicy to pass up. Tarantino's first voyage into rewriting history is a glorious war romp replete with a slew of memorably tense confrontations, perfectly framed shots, bursts of savage violence and funky scoring. the old SDR colors look flat and drab by comparison. The white sheets seen in a subsequent shot are sparkling, far more luminous and true compared Now that Universal Studios is giving Inglourious Basterds a promotion to 4K, it’s a good reason to revisit it! Now, the only thing this set has to offer is a greatly enhanced viewing experience. The 1080p Blu-ray was reference quality in its day, but I found this new 2160p HDR10 and HDR10+ presentation to be simply beautiful - and well worth the upgrade for. However, I can see folks hoping for a more aggressive object-based audio mix and/or a new selection of bonus features being a bit deflated with this release. To that point, I’ll simply argue that the price point to upgrade for image quality only isn’t too severe. And if you've never owned this film, well that just makes the decision a little easier. I’m safely calling this one Highly Recommended. For its UHD release of Inglourious Basterds, Universal has ported over most of the supplemental content from the 2009 Blu-ray while adding

Conclusion

near resplendent level of clarity that makes this, quite easily, the best option for home consumption. Add a practically perfect print and no serious To be honest and straight at the outset, I actually really didn’t like Inglourious Basterds the first time I saw it. I just didn’t know what to expect I guess. I loved the opening introduction scene of Hans Landa interrogating a simple local farmer over the location of some missing Jews and the setup for Mélanie Laurent’s Shosanna. Then I loved the introduction of Aldo Raine and The Basterds. But as the film progressed, I just wasn’t feeling how these very different story elements intertwined. leap off the screen for superior color accuracy. Red Nazi emblems are a color highlight, as is blood, but one would be remiss not to mention
