Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows 4K REMUX 2016 UHD Review
When the Out of the Shadows UHD is plunked in the player and the menu pops up on the screen, viewers are treated to some seriously eye-gouging neon greens. The turtles practically look radioactive, and April O'Neal's cartoon face appears sickly, but that's the menu, and it's animated, but it's an example of HDR really going overboard on colors. As for the movie, IMDB reports that Out of the Shadows was shot at 2.8K and finished in 2K, making this, presumably, an upscale from that source. The results are fine, if not a bit underwhelming. Nothing really jumps out as a leaps-and-bounds improvement over the fantastic 1080p release (also included with UHD purchase), at least not just watching the movie on its own merits. The HDR colors (thankfully) don't scream like they do on the main menu. If nothing else, the movie enjoys a slightly firmer and richer palette, one that doesn't push hard at all but only serves to present slightly more saturation to human skin tones, turtle green, and various support elements both in high light areas, like the Knicks game and daytime exteriors, and low light scenes, such as down in the sewers or out on dark city streets at night. Detail, likewise, doesn't hugely impress at first glance, at least not beyond the 1080p transfer. Comparative A-B looks do reveal a much finer array of detail both far and intimate alike. Digital turtles show more obvious facial features on the UHD where the Blu-ray leaves them looking surprisingly smooth in comparison at medium distance. Even close-ups of all characters -- human and digital alike -- aren't astronomically more dense and detailed, but the uptick is noticeable. The UHD may be a bit more stable and clear, but beyond an A-B test the UHD doesn't appear to be a serious upgrade. "Incremental" is probably the best word to describe it. That said, for fans with extra-large screens, bigger than the 65" used for this review, it may offer a bit more of a noticeable uptick. Chances are the 1080p disc will satisfy the vast majority of fans, though there's no reason not to watch the UHD, for those capable of doing so. It's a better image, just not a huge leap.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows thrives on Blu-ray with a fun and high-energy Dolby Atmos soundtrack. The triumphant track produces an effortlessly wide, flair-filled, and engagingly cinematic assault on the ears. Clarity remains top priority, and even through many blended and mixed-up sounds, all play in harmony and each retains a distinct flavor through the mayhem. The track is remarkably smooth and efficient in movement. Imaging is excellent, stage saturation is full, and directionality is fluid. The overhead channels four of them engaged for the purpose of this review - find only a few truly distinct moments, but the sense of greater immersion into the listen is obvious in most every scene beyond dialogue. The PA system at the Knicks game offers the roomiest and most clearly defined top layer sounds; it seems as if the listener is right there at the Garden with loudspeakers blaring straight overhead. General action is sharp and engaging. Metallic clanks, crashes, and movement work in total harmony. Explosions are met with prodigious, but balanced, bass. Wrecked vehicles skid through the stage with weight, but finesse. Choppers rumble, cars zoom. The soundstage enjoys plenty of movement through the traditional north-south and east-west routes but also tons of zigzagging from one corner to the next and, of course, a layered top end. Dialogue is clear and well prioritized. This is a fabulous listen and one Atmos owners will want to experience firsthand.
