Video

Beautiful, clear digital video gives 65 immense purity in its visuals. Noise does happen, but minimally so, and Sony's compression handles the issue without fault. From a full 4K source, sharpness and texture thrive in these conditions. Lower resolution CG scene extensions reveal roughness; the lower resolution is obvious for those brief moments.

Conditions on the alien planet provide opportunity for color saturation. Whether it's warning lights onboard the ship after its crash or the jungle greens, density and boldness thrive. Digital grading maintains variety while sticking with specific palettes to suit the mood. The balance between tone/style and eye-fetching hues is excellent.

Fire and sparks push HDR to intense peaks. Dolby Vision doesn't spare much in achieving blinding brightness, and black levels hit an incredible depth. Gone are the days when digital was unable to achieve pure black. 65 is brilliantly rendered.

Audio

A monster Atmos track blares from the outset as an asteroid blasts a ship and the engines flare. 65's range is absolutely reference, whether it's stomping or roaring dinosaurs. Guns add their own kick. Grenades pump out a blast that's room shaking in power.

Sublime imaging moves debris about, adding life to the jungles, whether that's rain, insects, or thunder. Dinosaurs brush aside debris as they stalk prey, channel separation at the peak for major studio design. It's intricate and involving, the type of work that betters a movie, or at least makes it worth staying on a shelf.
