Sing 4K (2016) Ultra HD 2160p REMUX Review
It's The Secret Life of Pets all over again. Sing's UHD presentation, based on the pairing of the Samsung UBD-K8500 and the Sony XBR-65X930C (and the reported 2K finish), shows practically no discernible differences when compared to the 1080p Blu-ray disc. No apparent uptick in detail in either up-close shots of fur and clothes or medium shots of cityscapes and home/office/theater interiors, no apparent difference in color even with the HDR label on the package. The review equipment does read it as playing back in 2160p and HDR, so again unless it's something with Universal's animated movie disc authoring (which isn't an issue on the studio's live action films as some difference is always evident), there's no major differences worth noting. The UHD does look spectacular, just no more spectacular than the Blu-ray. Read the 1080p Blu-ray review here; it all directly applies to this UHD. Note that I've re-evaluated the scoring for this circumstance since The Secret Life of Pets. With no difference, there seems to be no reason to give this a anything approaching a high score. I even considered leaving the field blank or, on the other side of the ledger, scoring it the same as the Blu-ray. Unfortunately, none of the options really convey the balance between "hugely disappointed that a movie with so many colors and incredible details can be so underwhelming" and "thrilled that the image looks great in a vacuum." 2.5 it is.

We saw Sing at a free preview organized by the makers and AMC. I really enjoyed watching the movie with my kids. I appreciate the fact that the makers did not resort to toilet humor to generate laughs. The entertainment was clean. There were no unnecessary sexual references.

I like kids movies that inspire and Sing managed to do that. It encouraged kids to get over their fears and try against all odds.

All the characters were lovable and unique in their personalities. Movie also had some very good music. Length of the movie was just fine for kids. My kids sat through the whole movie and did not get bored or restless till the end. Everybody in the theater seemed to have a good time. Nice feel good movie to watch with the kids. Go for it.
