About this deal

Pitt undoubtedly shines in his role as the lead of a crack team of "Apache" Nazi hunters, but it's Waltz who steals the show, delivering the kind of quirky and politely menacing performance that understandably drew the attention of Bond producers when it came to casting their next Blofeld (even if that went all kinds of wrong, at least in Spectre). Rather than remix the film's audio for Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, Universal has chosen to only retain the original Blu-ray's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.

International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. Bursting with "action, hair-trigger suspense and a machine-gun spray of killer dialogue" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), Inglourious Basterds is "another Tarantino masterpiece" (Jake Hamilton, CBS-TV)! Brad Pitt takes no prisoners in Quentin Tarantino's high-octane WWII revenge fantasy Inglourious Basterds. Contrast is stable allowing the depth seen in grays, whites and mid-tones to stand out in the film’s variety of low-level sequences.While we bask in the continued greatness and experience of Once Upon A Time …In Hollywood, there’s plenty of work to be done on the home video catalog for Quentin Tarantino. Inglourious Basterds is one of Quentin Tarantino’s finest hours and the starting point of an impressive post-Grindhouse stretch that has seen one great entry after another (Yeah, I dig The Hateful Eight a lot). Come join the discussion about home audio/video, TVs, projectors, screens, receivers, speakers, projects, DIY’s, product reviews, accessories, classifieds, and more! Given that there are no other new additions on this release (Audio, Extras), this video transfer is all to go on. As I mentioned Inglourious Basterds isn’t an especially colorful film however its cooler chromatic hues, sepia tones and variants of green/red benefited from UHD's wider color gamut, appearing warmer and pleasing to the eye.

We reviewed the UK 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release of Inglourious Basterds on an LG 55B7 Dolby Vision 4K Ultra HD OLED TV with a Panasonic DP-UB820EB-K Dolby Vision HDR10+ 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player . The conversation doesn’t make up for the lack of a feature-length commentary, but it’s an interesting and enlightening chat nonetheless. For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered. DTS-HD Master Audio as the previous Blu-ray, but it’s worth pointing out that the original track was close to reference quality, and still sounds amazing here. One walks into Inglourious Basterds expecting anachronism, but one doesn’t anticipate Tarantino’s frank confession that cinema, like killing Nazis for the Basterds, is a way to live out his male wish-fulfillment fantasies.Inlgourious Basterds is a powerhouse of everything we know from Quentin Tarantino up until that point. It’s still among Tarantino’s most entertaining efforts, but if you already own the previous release, the minor improvements to video quality along with the recycled audio track and supplements make this “upgrade” a bit difficult to justify. The seams of the film's construction — Inglourious Basterds is "a collection of scenes" rather than a flowing narrative — are intentional, heightened by the literal chapter titles punctuating each vignette.

Universal does not appear to have done that here, rendering the film’s upgrade to UHD somewhat inert. Inglourious Basterds was shot on 35mm film and finished on a 2K Digital Intermediate for its presentation on Ultra HD Blu-ray.Please note that if you choose to remove the shrink wrap, any resulting damages will not be our responsibility. The graders pushed this so well to make it pop in HDR, colors are vibrant yet not overly, nice punchy contrast with light sources coming off sooo realistic. Quentin Tarantino’s 6th film, the WWII revenge fantasy Inglourious Basterds takes a baseball bat to the old 1080p Blu-ray with a brand new 4K release from Universal Studios.
