What to Watch in 4K (for Less)

The top-of-the-line special effects look all the more impressive in 4K. The water stunts, in particular, look amazing. With the crisp detail of individual particles lovingly presented in the highest resolution, watch out! You’ll be the next thing to get swept away by the Geostorm!
Lloyd trains to be a Lego Ninja in order to save his world from evil. But there is no martial arts move more effective than putting a Lego on your enemy’s floor to be stepped on in the middle of the night.

Animated films were built for 4K. You might notice how much detail the animators somehow manage to squeeze into every frame (including a few blink-and-you’ll-miss’em background jokes!).

When Ben Affleck and JK Simmons are on screen, you know you’ll want only the best picture quality for the masterclass in scowling you’re about to witness! 4K means you’re getting so many more pixels of furrowed brows.
