Great series that highlights an tragic event
Great seres that is thankfully more focused on plot the special effects, not to take away from the effects of the film which are great. The 4K disc image looks amazing and the colors look natural although the focus can seem soft at times (probably a deliberate choice by the filmmakers). If you are looking for any seres on a historical events that is both accurate and entertaining this is one of my top picks.

Good cinematic experience with minimal 4K upgrade
Was very pleased with the packaging case for this item, being a modern take on the art piece The Scream. The HBO Miniseries is well made and a very authentic look into the biggest man-made disaster which occurred in 1986. Also a tribute to those who were affected and the spirit of the survivors is portrayed with much humanity. Image quality on the 4K disc is barely noticeable from the Blu-Ray however.

What is the cost of lies?
This is great Miniseries put out by HBO. That documents the Incident at Chernobyl. I highly reccomend this haunting show if you haven't seen it. This is such a beautiful steelbook to commemorate this show.

A real must see for every scientist, and student!
Speaking as a retired Master Instructor assigned to the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, Battlefield Medical Operations Branch, I honestly believe that this amazing film SHOULD be studied by every Science Student, Environmentalist, Science Teacher, Emergency Manager, and all Medical Personnel who needs to really understand the nightmare created by the design and explosion of this Soviet RBMK reactor. It was hard to watch but it is a true representation of what actually happened at Chernobyl and in the surrounding countries. The coverage of the massive international spread of radiation and required decontamination was honest yet appalling in it's scope. The devastating medical effects of significant radiation exposure to all personnel were gruesome and accurately depicted in this film. The heroes in this film were true heroes indeed and represent only a small portion of those involved in the response process that saved thousands if not millions of lives. This movie is the worst type of horror movie because it is true. With all the nuclear reactors currently in operation on this planet...to be forewarned, is to be forearmed. Always remember that the containment sarcophagus built around the crippled reactor was only designed to last 100 years and the clock is ticking. This is NOT a horror movie designed for entertainment... This tale is very real, the threat is very real, and the hazards shown have not changed at all. I would have given this movie 10 stars, if I could. Be warned, it will change your thinking forever!
This review is from Chernobyl [Blu-ray] [2016]
