Steven Soderbergh is an interesting filmmaker. His work runs the gamut from genre to genre, without missing a beat.
With Contagion, a 2011 sci-fi film about a world-wide epidemic, it reaches rather far in subject matter, creating a frightening concept.
It's been out as a Blu-ray, but WB has seen fit to release a new 4k UHD variant, which takes full advantage of a "film" shot on a Red One MX, finished to a 4k DI.
Since the film was shot on stock with minimal grain, and was successfully blown up to both 70mm and IMAX, you should have some idea as to precisely how good this 4k release might look...
And it does.
It's superb.
