The Legend of Hercules 4K (2014) Ultra HD 2160p REMUX Review
The Legend of Hercules is presented on 4K UHD courtesy of Lionsgate Films with a 2160p transfer in 2.40:1. The Legend of Hercules was digitally captured with Red cameras and finished at a 2K DI. There are some interesting differences in the 4K UHD version, though the patently fake look of the largely green screened feature which I addressed in the The Legend of Hercules 3D Blu-ray review is probably only more noticeable here at the higher resolution. This tendency is obvious from the very first shots in the film, where the CGI clouds look like something out of a videogame, something that stylistically recurs throughout the presentation. That said, detail on practical elements like costumes and, you know, actual humans is often extremely precise and textured looking, helping the film achieve a little depth that the relentless CGI doesn't. HDR has added some rather beautiful new tones to the presentation, with some of the brightly lit outdoor moments having a really interesting green-yellow hue that isn't in evidence on the 1080p Blu-ray version. The film's prevalence of gray tones looks more fully saturated in this version, and the long blue sequence toward the end of the film is incredibly rich looking in a way that isn't as evident in the Blu-ray version. Some slight noise accrues in some the darker sequences.
