I did go back and roll it on my Samsung QLED, and it was damned impressive again with HDR10+ - but because of the size of the set at 32 inches, I don't consider it a reference unit to judge by. Quick little Update Note 10/6/21] - After spending more time with this for a third viewing in as many days, I noticed some slightly pixelated edges in a few scenes I hadn't noticed before - some small background objects in the Tavern scene, small background objects when Landa is interrogating von Hammersmark about her shoe, and a couple of other scenes. My primary setup is Dolby Vision/HDR10 compatible so my first round watching this disc I didn’t get the full HDR10+ experience. Inglourious Basterds is no masterpiece, mainly because as alternate history it isn’t profound, but for Tarantino it’s positively groundbreaking.

I've heard bad things since about this but I found it superb, the extras are the same as the blu ray but are entertaining.Undoubtedly, at the time, fans were hoping this would be just a straight-down-the-line Dirty Dozen flick (all the rage at the time, with the first Expendables around the corner), and it arguably is, but it is also far more, drenched in the director's trademark - seemingly innocuous - conversations which are steeped in ever-mounting tension and almost always crescendo into a bloody climax. That’s a good question, but for me it’s Tarantino and an upgrade so I’d probably be a day 1 regardless. My audio/video ratings are based upon a comparative made against other high definition media/blu-ray disc. Inglourious Basterds comes to UK 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray courtesy of Universal, in what is presumably an identical release to their recent US 4K counterpart, boasting a subtly very impressive but only intermittently standout upscaled 4K presentation.

Of course, it's not surprising that Tarantino would once again find an imaginative way to use language as a weapon. Translating that to a stellar native 4K rendition should have been a walk in the park, but the feature was made during that fateful period when a 2K DI was almost mandatory, leaving this an upscale, which undoubtedly still upsets people. Score: Cast: Brad Pitt, Mélanie Laurent, Christoph Waltz, Eli Roth, Michael Fassbender, Diane Kruger, Daniel Brühl, Til Schweiger, Gedeon Burkhard, Jacky Ido, B. But as the film progressed, I just wasn’t feeling how these very different story elements intertwined.track is the same one found on the previous Blu-ray release, and it’s just as impressive as it was then with a highly immersive mix that puts the surrounding speakers to good use. It’s watchable, but (and emphasis on the but) you are essentially getting a Blu-ray quality image on a higher quality format. Inglourious Basterds is a talkathon, but there’s real urgency and purpose to the words exchanged between Shosanna and Landa, between the German actress, Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger), pretending to be a Nazi and the German soldier understandably suspicious of the two men (Basterds in disguise) sitting with her in a basement bar, and between Aldo and the Nazis he and his Basterds scalp after death.
