Video

Spectacular clarity highlights this UHD presentation, sourced from a peerless digital source. Short of the slightest visible ringing and mild noise, nothing impedes on this presentation's purity. It's dazzling stuff, wholly modern, and glossy in the extreme.

This lets detail flourish everywhere. Sightly wide shots give landscapes a seemingly impossible beauty. Facial definition routinely reaches reference grade. Other than slight smearing on CG surface texture, The King's Man pours out precision texture in almost every frame, even amid darker cinematography.

Tinted sepia, age is suggested through the color grading (with the occasional drift into blues). Aggressiveness in this area saps energy from the HDR, dimming contrast in places, although highlights leave a mark where needed. Peak brightness isn't shy about reaching an intense high point. Black levels stay more subtle in their application, choosing to match the aged aesthetic through drier shadows. What's lacking in depth is countered by elegance.

Audio

Widely spaced design tracks gunfire brilliantly through the soundstage. Even if the Atmos effects tend to lack the same attention, motion swings through the surrounds in grand fashion. Action scenes enjoy filling each channel, making each sound count. Nothing becomes lost in the chaos. Battlefields erupt as bullets bounce between speakers.

Explosions drive a hefty rumble into the low-end. It's smooth, tight, and prominent, plus produces the needed range for a major studio action movie.
