Video

Other than an occasional bursts of noise (with average encoding parameters handling it), this true 4K source produces superb clarity. Digital cinematography finds detail galore. Textural qualities impress throughout, as does the resolution. Sharpness makes full use of this format, a dazzler for sure even if with some compression anomalies.

Brilliant Dolby Vision hits the peak of peaks, beyond generous when highlighting computer displays, Godzilla's rays, explosions, or the reference neons flooding Hong Kong's skyline. Black levels hit their deepest points regularly, acting as the perfect counter to this brightness showcase.

At times the palette reduces to a limited orange/teal (although intense on both counts), but generally offers up a rich, dynamic variety. There's warmth to Kong's jungle, chill at the Arctic, and everything once Godzilla vs Kong reaches the mainland for its city battles. Saturation doesn't spare anything, the aesthetic aiming for raw eye candy suited to the blockbuster vibes.

Audio

Following Godzilla: King of the Monsters' flawless Atmos mix, Godzilla vs Kong manages to match it step for step. This is an alpha titan pressed to plastic, as ridiculously aggressive in the low-end as any other disc in the market, now or in the past. In terms of subwoofer power, this is a consistent performer, with more rumble-per-minute than any other release on the market. Roars, thunder, punches, stomping, explosions - whatever. The tightness is a constant presence.

Equally marvelous, channel separation sends audio through the soundfield, fully acknowledging the height channels and surrounds. It's beyond showy, a full two hour demo that barely ever rests. Given the limited dialog scenes, Godzilla vs Kong just... keeps... going. There's not a single opportunity missed, no matter the scene's scale. Even in neighborhoods, car stereos pan between speakers, dogs bark for ambient material, and voices break from the center. Aural magic on a disc.
