Split 4K (2016) Ultra HD 2160p REMUX Review
Split was digitally photographed at 2.8K and finished at 2K. Yes, this 2160p/HDR-enhanced presentation is another 4K upscale that nevertheless offers a boost in color and clarity over the Blu-ray. Most immediately noticeable is how skin sees a marked increase in sharpness and complexity. Pores are deep, wrinkles very complex, and bumps and other imperfections so sharp that faces almost look artificial, enhanced beyond a natural state. Perhaps that's just a decade of Blu-ray watching speaking, but something looks just slightly off in terms of this presentation's facial textures. Otherwise, the increased detail is very welcome. Clothes see a healthy gain in complexity and stability. The wooden planks in the room where the girls are held captive, a little weathered and a lot scratched, reveal greater textural complexity, as do the rough stone walls that are so sharp they could cut a finger. City and natural environments enjoy a boost in detail and clarity as well. Colors are very well saturated, turning just a shade darker than the Blu-ray but offering a much fuller, richer, more nuanced presentation. "Hedwig" wears a yellow jacket that shows impressive pop yet also color depth. Those woods in the holding room offer a very deep, very accurate brown tone. Fallen leaves in various wooded exterior flashback scenes enjoy superb color saturation -- shades of yellow, orange and brown -- which offer a nice contrast to the punchy natural greens around them. Black levels don't push too pale and skin tones appear more or less true to whatever light and mood any given scene establishes. A fork on the bottom-left corner of a restaurant table in the film's very first shot shimmers along the blade, but such imperfections are very few and far between. Despite some reservations with skin textures, this UHD offers a good general increase in color and clarity over the Blu-ray.
