least incrementally as the subsequent seasons unfold. (You'll note that my 4K score for the previously released UHD version of Season 1 was "only" Okay, that’s going too far, but the set isvery nice, particularly the SteelBook edition from Best Buy. Not only is this Game of Throneswith better picture quality than ever before, but it comes with all the extras the show has produced over the years and then some, from deleted scenes to History & Lore features to full-on documentaries. rear and overhead activity, and (in the other direction) some at times startling LFE. Panning effects are utilized frequently and help to establish spatial When I watched The Dark Knight in 4K UHD for the first time a couple of years ago, it was almost like watching it again for the first time in theaters. The same is the case for Game of Thrones. The higher resolution and detail captured in the 4K format (with HDR) is very clearly on another level to what we watched for eight seasons (sometimes compressed via cable, decreasing the quality for people at home). 4K HDR totally makes a major difference in the viewing experience, and we’ll dive into a few scenes and takeaways for the review.bottom line here is that the 4K presentations are in general a commendable, and in some cases pretty awesome, improvement over already ways HBO sought to convince fans of Game of Thrones to throw a little (or quite a bit of) moolah their way, with deluxe editions like the Season Three (for complete details, please consult our Game of Thrones: The Complete Third Season Blu-ray review) First, there was an HBO Shop exclusive version of Season One on DVD that included a special DVD bonus disc with a Creating the World of Westeros featurette. Second, the Season Two Blu-ray available at Target had a bonus disc that added Invitation to the Set, Arya’s New Look, Art Direction, and Weapons featurettes. Third, the Season Three Blu-ray was available at Target with a bonus disc that included a 90-minute An Evening with Game of Thrones 2013 Emmy panel discussion. Finally, Season Eight was available on Blu-ray at Target and Walmart with exclusive bonus discs that added How the Storm Was Born and From Renderings to Reality: The Visual Effects of Season 8 respectively. It’s a shame that this content isn’t included on the 4K set, but you should be aware that most of it is available for free viewing on YouTube (at least some of it—and actually quite a lot more—on HBO’s official Game of Thrones channel). And though it’s not a bonus disc, don’t forget that HBO made a change to Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season after eagle-eyed fans detected the likeness of a certain political figure as one of the severed heads in the season’s final episode. So if you want that scene as originally broadcast, you’ll want to hang onto that first Blu-ray set in particular.

I then watched the Great Pit of Daznak scene in The Dance of Dragons (skipping the heartbreaking scene when Shireen is burned at the stake; I’ll get to that on a full rewatch) when the Sons of the Harpy close in on Daenerys. The fighting and the defense of the Targaryen queen looked like it was taking place right in front of you, and the arrival of Drogon to save the day was insane. The effort put into creating a realistic look for the dragons can be further appreciated by seeing the detail in 4K UHD, and the fire looks extremely real (because it was, as they used real fire and actually lit stunt people on fire). there is also some really evocative use of "elements" (used in both senses of that word) like wind or other stormy situations, which can offer really niceNote: Rather than re-list every supplement with timings and descriptions in this review, I'm opting to simply provide a basic

First of all, the actual physical look of the box, with a screeching Drogon on the front and gold text and accents, looks awesome. It has a prestigious appearance and is worthy of a final box set for an all-time great show like Game of Thrones. So that’s what you get in terms of special features. As you can clearly see, it’s a lot. And much of it is very good content indeed. The question you might be asking now is: What don’t you get? But let’s talk about that improved picture first. Game of Throneswas the first hour-long HBO drama to be shot entirely in digital (minus a few scenes from the unaired pilot that made their way into the very first episode). The show always looked tremendous, from the sweeping photography to the detailed costumed. Now, you can see every stitch in Cersei’s gowns, or every scale on Daenerys’ dragons, and the show actually paid enough attention to detail for that to matter.

In what might be seen as an early ploy to provide some Game Of Thrones The Complete Series is presented in 4K with a 2160p UHD transfer with an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 for each episode. Dolby Vision and HDR10 enhance the detail and color palette for those equipped for the upgrade. Nevertheless, if the ending falls somewhat short of expectations, the journey to get there is thrilling. Game of Thrones isn’t afraid to throw you a surprise or two each season, sometimes several. This is a series where it feels like anything can happen… and that is a rare and wonderful thing indeed.
