The 4K is (aurally) Pitch Perfect!
I remember hearing the buzz about "Pitch Perfect" right about the time the movie hit Redbox on Blu-ray - better late than never - so I thought, what the heck, I'll rent it and see what this a capella musical was about. I was pleasantly surprised, overwhelmingly so, at how much fun and aurally awesome the musical numbers were! I kept it for an extra day and winded up watching it a total of 3 times. The musical performances, the jokes, the competitions, and most importantly the inseparable bond formed by the a capella singers despite their differences made this an all-around good movie. Naturally I added it to my collection. When the 4K came out, I was skeptical: the film was digitally photographed and reportedly finished at 2K - seriously Hollywood, why make the new standard 4K when you're filming and finishing films in anything less than 4K?!?!?! So why would I double-dip and upgrade this movie that has little to no special visual effects? The answer is quite simple: the audio! Don't get me wrong. The standard Blu-ray sounds great with its DTS-HD 5.1 track, but man, oh man, the DTS:X Master Audio soundtrack hits all the right notes on the 4K disc. Once you hear how good it sounds, you can't un-hear it, and that'll become your new standard. As flashy as this film is, the real flash is exhibited in the musical talents of the actresses and actors that live up to the pitch perfect musical performance expectation set by the title of the film. So cough up the extra couple of bucks. Your ears will thank you.
I was missing this 1 for the complete collection, now I have all 3 films and yes I liked it a lot. This movie was the first of 3 to come out and its extremely funny to watch!
