If anyone wants a review. Here you go.
![]() ‘Overlord’ was shot on 2.8K & 3.4K cameras, but I’m not positive if the Digital Intermediate is 2K or 4K. As per the norm with most UHD releases, it was given a HDR color grade in Dolby Vision for your viewing pleasure. This release sees a very light to a moderate amount of grain — but that’s not to say there weren’t any super clean scenes, there were a few. There are quite a few soft shots in this film, but since the night atmosphere showers over most of the duration — it’s not a distraction. The first 60 minutes or so takes place at night, so you will get an average 4K UHD image. (When I say average, I don’t mean bad, just not amazing) HDR is highlighted in the many explosions that take place both in the sky and on the ground. Past the initial plane drop, you will see color only in the greens of the grass and in the low hue of ambient light — obviously heightened by the use of HDR. Like other movies that place during a war you will get an array of greens and browns ranging from the uniforms down to the dirt of a battlefield — or in this case, a small town and a church. The HDR usage of these colors gives the grit and grind it needs. In Chapter 11 & 12 you’ll get the firefight that takes place just before sunrise, both in the small town and outside the church. This is the first time you get color in the location the soldiers had been stationed in with a cool tone and hue. This is also the first time that you’ll get to see the dark reds in the blood splatter — both on the soldiers faces and during the brutal-insanity of the firefight. Other little details will be highlighted here as well, like the rubble in the town or the bricks on the bridge and various buildings. This film doesn’t have a lot of close up’s until Chapter 14 on, so that super detail that 4K usually gives off only comes into play at the end of the movie. There you will get the veins, beard stubble, blood, wounds, etc. Spoilers would come if I described it more — so we will leave it at that. If you’ve seen this film you already know the vibe is portrays, you know what I mean when I describe the darkness and the grit. This disc (while better than the Blu-ray) will not blow you away with a crystal clear image. Since it doesn’t have a super sharp image, it falls on the side of a solid release to add to your UHD collection. On a super positive note, the audio track on this disc sounded amazing. I have a sub-par set-up when it comes to sound, so when I get my Dolby Atmos setup later this year I’m going to test it out with this movie. I’m curious what people with Dolby Atmos will think about this. My two cents on the movie: If you asked me, I wish there was a little more of the horror aspect in this film. Don't get me wrong, I loved this film with the way they balanced war, nazi's and zombies— but I still wanted more. I wanted more of the unknown... What’s in that house? or that uncomfortable feeling as a zombie-like creature is chasing you through a dark hallway. Not cheap jump-scares, but more of an unsettling feeling. They could explore that a sequel — imagine a different squad coming across another lab... but I don’t see it happening. Last edited by kyloren; 01-31-2019 at 07:38 AM. |

Yeah, totally wasted review. I would have wanted to hear more about the movie itself and not the slipcover.

Unboxing videos mostly consist of fat hands and guys bedspreads. My fave is when people take pics of their haul and some pics are clearly taken in the bathroom LOL.

I saw it in Dolby Cinema and it was amazing. About a month later, I caught it again, not in Dolby Cinema, but still in Atmos and it was just as awesome as I remembered it being. I think this is the demo scene from here on out
