THE SERIES<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Based on one of the greatest video games of all time, Fallout<\/em><\/strong> is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there\u2019s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them above.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

                        Fallout: Season 1<\/em><\/strong> arrives on 4K Ultra HD and is presented here with a 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and each episode comes with a 2160p high-definition resolution. Detail throughout the series does look quite good, detail is sharp and nicely defined throughout and colors well balanced to go along with the stark black levels. I can\u2019t comment on how this compares to how it streamed, but I have to think it is a market improvement.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

                        Every episode is accompanied by a strong Dolby Atmos track (DTS-HD MA 7.1 for systems unable to process) and these tracks offer up strong dialogue levels and the action scenes, including the opening with the nuclear explosions, give off amazing depth and foreshadowed things to come.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
