The 2160p high-definition transfer on the 4K disc looks phenomenal, detail was sharp and well defined and colors oversaturated and vibrant, per how Stone shot it, while the black and white shots were nicely balanced.<\/p>\n<p>Both cuts of the film come with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and 2.0 tracks, both are pretty effective, but I primarily focused on the former. As such, dialogue comes across with good clarity and there is fine depth for the more frenetic scenes, such as the riot sequence at the jail. I assume these were ported over from the previous Warner Bros. releases.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
