A show of hands, please...
Does anyone believe that Disney might allow a less than spectacular Blu-ray, representing a huge investment on their part, be released to the public?
Alright. Same three. You can put your hands down.
Rogue One was a film that even I enjoyed, especially as it nicely dove-tailed with the past. And that's saying a lot, as I despise more than half of anything Star Wars.
Everything here is large format, and as wonderful as the Blu-ray digital representation appears, it's still a down-rez from the final 4k data files.
I cannot image, since we know there are at least several thousand Star Wars fan(antics) out there, that this might be the perfect time for Disney to embrace 4k UHD technology for the home theater market.
Regardless, Disney's Blu-ray of Rogue One is reference quality, both visually as well as aurally.
While I would have preferred to hear the tracks in Dolby Atmos, or even DTS-X, as opposed to DTS-HD MA 7.1, sound is still big enough to more than get by.
The up-rez, as performed by Oppo, gives an inky of what this may eventually look like as a pure 4k UHD release.
