![]() Both left me similarly satisfied with what I saw. When I switched back and forth between the DV and HDR-10 renderings, any minute differences were negligible and not enough to warrant a rating difference. As I alluded to earlier, this film’s elements aren’t lent to bright color and vibrant highlights. *Ĭomparing the DV and HDR-10 presentations for Hell or High Water, I found the HDR renderings to essentially be identical. * The cumulative A/V score will still be based upon the HDR-10 rating, with the DV rating serving as informational only for now. ![]() The TCL isn’t among the top tier flat panels with DV, however it came recommended by AVS Senior Editor Mark Henninger, and calibrates/performs extremely well for a set at its price point. I then select specific scenes which are watched on the TCL, first via HDR-10 then via Dolby Vision. All titles are first watched via my JVC front projector. I utilize the TCL 55P607 UHD Dolby Vision HDR flat panel in my review system to enable me to compare the visual quality of titles that contained the Dolby Vision metadata versus its HDR-10 counterpart on the same disc. Viewing Hell or High Water in Ultra HD didn’t make for an especially compelling viewing experience, however, I found it to be a complimentary improvement over the 1080p Blu-ray presentation. Fleshtones are reproduced beautifully, with a natural and pleasing tonality. Like the Blu-ray rendering, the darkened highlights in low-lit environs, can be hit or miss but it most respects, have appreciable dimension and resolvable detail. Exterior sequences offer the slightest hint of added punch which gives the image appreciable visual pop. The same is true when comparing the video's dynamic range. Close-ups tend to offer appreciable refinement and deeper resolvable texture on surfaces and physical features compared to the Blu-ray. The increase in resolution isn't always on display, but the wide-angle shots of the sun-splashed landscapes look terrific. Secondary hues look great, although not appreciably better. Color reproduction is consistent, with primaries like blue and red appearing richer, and more delineated. That comes across with its presentation in Ultra HD. It’s a stylish visual film, that adheres to sepia tones and color grading, which ultimately leaves some sequences appearing less visually engaging than others. In looking at Hell or High Water and comparing my notes, from my Blu-ray Spotlight, I found its presentation on Ultra HD Blu-ray to be reminiscent of my impressions of several recent catalog releases on UHD. Hell or High Water comes to Ultra HD Blu-ray from Lionsgate Home Entertainment featuring 2160pHEVC encoded video and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 2.3 Mbps.įor its presentation in Ultra HD Hell or High Water was derived from a 2.8K source, rendered from 2K DI and upconverted to 4K. ![]() Chris Pine, Ben Foster, Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham own their respective roles which adds and enriching authenticity to the proceedings. I love the subtle touches surrounding the various characters, that both the bank robbing brothers, and pursuing Texas Rangers encounter (love “the rattlesnake of a waitress”!). The action isn’t overdone, but rather supports the superbly crafted drama and cohesive plot. The characters are wonderfully drawn and fit quite nicely within the narrative’s construct. I had a great time with this contemporary story that has a decidedly old time feel. A showdown looms at the place where the values of the Old and New West murderously collide. As the brothers plot a final bank heist to complete their scheme, the Rangers and a handful of locals are on their heels. Things are going according to plan, until they find themselves on the radar of veteran Texas Ranger, Marcus (Jeff Bridges), a hardnosed lawman on the brink of his retirement. For them, the hold-ups are just part of a last-ditch scheme to take back a future that seemed to have been stolen from under them. Texan brothers, Toby (Chris Pine), and career criminal Tanner (Ben Foster), are rejoined after years apart, and put together a plan to rob branches of the bank threatening to foreclose on their family land. They decide to rob the bank’s branches, putting themselves in the crosshairs of an aging Texas Ranger, in a riveting story of crime, punishment, and brotherly love. Written by Taylor Sheridan, Hell or High Water is a compelling drama that tells the story of a desperate father that learns that the bank is going to take his family’s land, leaving him and his ex-con brother with no choice.
