RED 2 4K (2013) Ultra HD 2160p REMUX

Retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device. To succeed, they'll need to survive an army of relentless assassins, ruthless terrorists and power-crazed government officials, all eager to get their hands on the next-generation weapon. The mission takes Frank and his motley crew to Paris, London and Moscow. Outgunned and outmanned, they have only their cunning wits, their old-school skills, and each other to rely on as they try to save the world-and stay alive in the process.

RED 2 4K (2013) Ultra HD 2160p REMUX Review
Red 2 is presented on 4K UHD courtesy of Lionsgate Films with a 2160p transfer in 2.40:1. Despite being shot on film and finished at a 2K DI like RED 4K, this transfer shows none of the noisy grain that I mentioned in the RED 4K Blu-ray review. Detail levels have taken a noticeable uptick in the typical way often seen with 2K DIs, including elements like the textures on several of Mirren's outfits or things like the brickwork on the exterior of the church in an early scene. HDR has added some interesting if sometimes fairly subtle differences from the 1080p Blu- ray version. There's less of the desaturated look that I mentioned in my review of Red in 4K, though several sequences have a perhaps oddly cool (as in temperature) yellowish tint. A nice outdoor sequence that takes place during our heroes' "road trip" has a gorgeous if patently unnatural looking green-yellow combination that isn't nearly as pronounced in the Blu-ray version. Isolated elements like the deep blue housecoat Mary Louise Parker wears in a late sequence pop with really rich and impressive saturation in this new 4K UHD version.
