The Mountain Between Us 4K (2017) Ultra HD 2160p REMUX Review
The Mountain Between Us is presented on 4K UHD courtesy of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment with a 2160p transfer in 2.39:1. As I mentioned in our The Mountain Between Us Blu-ray review, the film was digitally captured with a variety of Arri Alexa models and (according to the IMDb) finished at 2.4K DI, the first time I think I've personally seen that particular resolution mentioned. The results of this 4K upgrade are largely extremely commendable, with noticeable upticks in detail and fine detail levels across the board, to the point that it's almost possible to differentiate individual bits of snow in the 4K version, where in the 1080p Blu-ray version some scenes can tend to offer the snowy hillsides as kind of a "unified mass", so to speak. There are also almost palpable upticks in textures of fabrics, like the knit caps I mentioned in the The Mountain Between Us Blu-ray review. Shadow detail is at least marginally improved in some of the initial dark scenes in the shattered fuselage, and later in the kind of honey coated cabin sequences. The entire palette is considerably more suffused in this version, but kind of interestingly HDR hasn't really tweaked the color scheme very dramatically in my estimation. Best of all, the increased resolution doesn't really materially affect the realism of some of the CGI elements, and there isn't the same kind of cartoonish artificiality that sometimes accrues to digitally created special effects that occasionally show up in 4K versions.
