The Purge 4K (2013) Ultra HD 2160p REMUX Review
The Purge was digitally photographed at a resolution of 2.8K and finished at 2K. Universal's 4K upscale certainly doesn't reach format peak but it does offer a solid enough boost over the 1080p Blu-ray. This 2160p/HDR-enhanced presentation delivers a modest uptick in detail. Skin textures are more revealing, whether considering depth of pores, clarity of moles, visibility of blood vessels under the skin, or complexity of hair. There's a tangible increase to other qualities, too, including the burned robot "Timmy" and its charred plastic and metallic components, finely detailed clothes, and many of the finely appointed elements both inside the house and around the neighborhood. The HDR-enahnced colors deliver fuller skin tones, nicely saturated objects around the house, and a modest sense of increased depth and clarity, though with the movie's dominant lower-light structure there's not much opportunity for significant punch. Some barely imperceptible banding creeps across some backgrounds. Black levels occasionally push a little to the very dark blue spectrum, and some nighttime outdoor shots hang on to some noise, but in other scenes blacks maintain quality depth and a general absence of noise. Flesh tones appear accurate within any given lighting context.

If you are wondering about the film and worried about the low rating, please don't mind the people who seriously underestimate the quality of this film. The reason is that everyone thinks that they can write a better scenario than that and characters are stupid. They expect characters with no emotional dilemmas, they expect people who are doing the most rational thing with no human element, as in every Hollywood film where the cool hero kicks the a** of the bad guys in the brightest way. DO NOT expect that too much in this film. This film is not a typical thriller film that approaches killing very lightly and easily. Every time you feel a character is about to die, it makes you think its moral sides. This film has many very good messages and it delivers them very well. It is trying hard to reflect on the emotional dilemmas and morality of killing rather than keeping it as a satisfaction element for the audience. So If you want to watch a film with a very good story and messages about morals, this is the right film. If you wanna see a blood bath with coolest and brightest characters dealing with a meaningless gore, then find another film.

Briefly, this film is for you, if you are looking for a good story that will make you think. If you are looking for a typical film like "panic room" etc. then turn your face to another film. IF you think the characters could behave better and more logically, without any emotions, then you better start writing your own scenario and good luck in finding some readers, you will need it.
