The Town 4K REVIEW
The Town's theatrical cut receives an upgrade on Warner's 2160p, HEVC/H.265-encoded UHD. The image features the same chilly blues, deep blacks and natural skintones as the Blu-ray, complete with the occasional flash of bright colors for contrast, like the red trim on MacRay's jacket or the reddish-orange prison jumpsuit worn by his father. Textures and fine detail are even more finely rendered on the UHD than on the Blu-ray, whether it's the pores and irregularities on the faces of MacCray and his crew, the individual strands of Claire Keesey's (Rebecca Hall) black hair or the incessant five o'clock (and sometimes ten o'clock) shadow on the face of dogged FBI Agent Frawley (Jon Hamm). The same traces of the original photography on film noted in Ken's review remain, but the occasional soft shot looks less soft now, aided by enhanced contrast and detail.

Now, since The Town was finished on a digital intermediate at 2K, the new disc presents the same riddle as the UHD of I Am Legend: To what extent are the visible improvements a function of 4K up-conversion and HDR encoding, as opposed to superior authoring with a new codec, a more generous allotment of digital real estate and no high frequency filtering to facilitate compression? A deeper analysis of the 4K disc's encoding will have to await the availability of UHD computer drives and appropriate analytical software, but even then it may well be impossible to determine the exact cause of the improvements with any certainty. In the meantime, the enhancements offered by the UHD of The Town's theatrical cut are visible on the screen for all to see.

A final note, which I am borrowing from one of my esteemed colleagues: I'd caution against any comparison of my scores on this release with scores of the previous Blu-rays. There's no guarantee I would have scored those discs the same way Ken did, and conversely Ken might very well have scored this release differently than I have.
