Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 4K UHD Review + Screenshots (Patreon)

Video   

Bitten by the 2000's orange/teal bug, the instant burst of color fades quickly. Flesh tones tend to veer toward pale, a casualty of aggressive  color timing. At least there's density to the color, pouring on strong  blues and striking oranges.  

Great black levels return, distributed throughout the feature with  remarkable depth. This is easily the best of the Potter lot so far.  Highlights pop out as needed with pleasing HDR effects.  

The miss is still definition and resolution. The 2K scan lacks  sharpness, although the compression fares better. Light grain sits over  the image without any regular complaints, although a handful of scenes  produce a mushy buzz akin to poor compression.  

4/5

Whipping winds and various pans continue the trend of flawless audio.  Crowds fill the soundfield and cast spells travel about the mix. Near  field design gives prominence to positional cues, beautiful in the way few audio tracks are.   

Bass extensions hit the sub with weight. Music stings keep things active  and action cues sound superb. Consistency in this series continues.  

 5/5
