Remastered under the supervision of the director, this new 4K Ultra HD presentation features HDR (High Dynamic Range) for more detail, brightness, vivid color, and greater contrast. The Blu-ray in the Combo Pack is also remastered, offering an exceptional viewing experience.

A stylish and compelling noir thriller, COLLATERAL received both critical and audience acclaim. Tom Cruise gives a chilling performance as Vincent, a cool, calculating contract killer at the top of his game. Jamie Foxx received an Academy Award® nomination* for his portrayal of Max, a cabbie with big dreams and little to show for it. The film showcases the actors as Max transports Vincent on his next job - one night, five stops, five hits and a getaway. And after this fateful night, neither man will ever be the same.

I'm curious how this will look in UHD. I'm hesitant to say 4K UHD as this is a hybrid production with both 1080p and 2K cameras used in addition to 35mm and finished as a 2K DI. There are certain scenes that betray their video origins.

I keep seeing comments like that, but, I have a difficult time distinguishing such 4K UHD discs from those that are derived from native 4K material. If I'm at my normal sitting position in front of my 65" OLED and the disc is playing, generally, I can't tell a difference. Now, if I get up close to the screen and pay particular attention to a particular scene then I can see some differences.

When I say "betray their video origins", keep in mind that I'm referring to how they appear in motion. There's a textbook one of these in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, where Johnny Depp says he has to go shoot the cook and the handheld 1080p camera follows him into the kitchen as he does so. There's a resolution breakdown that clearly shows that RR is shooting digital, and there are several instances of this in Collateral, Miami Vice and Public Enemies.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I remember Collateral as having a very digital look, with a fair amount of video noise in the image, as Mann was pushing the technology, shooting mostly at night with minimal lighting.

Nice to see a studio actually confirm the included blu-ray is also the remastered version, unlike the majority of studios who just toss in the old blu transfer and say nothing.

Once he started shooting digital, Mann fully gave up any pretense of his movies having a "filmic" appearance anymore. If he'd wanted to, there were other digital cameras he could've used with a more traditionally film-like look. The Thomson Viper cameras were known for a particularly "video" aesthetic. When I saw Collateral in the theater, it felt to me like the whole movie had been shot on camcorder. I liked the movie overall, but really hated the look of it.

You haven't seen Ferrari, then.

Fair, I haven't see that one. But Mann was still very much embracing the "shot on video" aesthetic as recently as the Tokyo Vice pilot.
