Titanic - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

At last the James Cameron catalog is coming to UHD - "Titanic" never looked this good before - you'll see details you never knew were there!

Excellent movie now even better with 4k! But Jack totally could have fit on the raft

If you are already a fan its a must have , great 4k picture and sound

Short version: Buy it!! The 4K transfer was worth the wait. Not only for Dolby Vision but especially the Atmos track combined with James Horner’s soundtrack. I have watched it twice already. For reference of this review, I watched once on a Sony 77A80K in our dedicated theater room with 7.4.2 and the other on a 65A80L, with 5.2.1, both having a Panasonic ub820 4K player. Video: Colors are vibrant with more realism and textures have more depth with better contrast compared to the 1080p Blu-ray. Skin tones and lighting are the biggest differences, with the 4K transfer providing more lifelike skin tones, overall colors (especially clothing) and contrast. This is especially noticeable at the start of the dinner scene. The Grand Staircase wood has more warmth and grain texture, plus the lighting from the skylight is bright with more detail in shadow areas. The lighting results in better skin tones and fine details; evident at the dinner table where there is a variety of skin tones, makeup, dresses and tuxes. The lighting also helps to see subtle details such as the White Star Lines logo in the crystalware. The exterior shots also reveal how much detail went into the set. Audio: this is where the upgrade is 1000% worth it. From subtle sounds having more definition, such as Hockley opening and closing his pocket watch before boarding or the immense sounds of the ship breaking apart at the end. This new transfer will give your center channel a well deserved workout. Dialogue is center weighted and forward of the action, resulting in redifned clarity. However, finally, rear/side speakers get the treatment that was missing on the 1080p Blu-ray. The ‘Take her to sea’ scene is more full in sound, as well as a more full/tighter bass. The rear channels make the engine/boiler rooms come to life with more mechanical sounds, as well as making it seem as if the steam is being pumped through the rear channels, then over Atmos, and back to the front stage. The scene where Rose is being lowered in the lifeboat, the Atmos speakers pick up the pulleys and ropes while the rears and front stage share the duty of the davits flexing. The center channel handles the dialogue and rocket burst with finese. This scene also showcases Horner’s soundtrack and when combided with the aforementioned, it really pulls you into the scene as if you are standing on the deck in 1912. Finally, the iceberg collision scene and the climactic ending make this one of the best Atmos tracks as far as placement around the room and immersion.

For those worried Cameron might have botched the transfer, forget about those worries because "Titanic" looks absolutely phenomenal on 4K. I'm a massive fan of the film (it's in my top five of all time), and I felt nothing but satisfied by the time the credits rolled. The level of detail is incredible, the colors look stunning, and the audio very immersive. Quite simply, I don't think the film has ever looked or sounded better on a home release.
