VIDEO QUALITY / AUDIO QUALITY:
RAMBO comes to Ultra HD Blu-ray 4k with both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The Dolby Vision, always a favorite of mine looks great on this film while still allowing for its grit to show through at times. Deep darks, vibrant brights and good color representation of the Director’s intention. The Dobly Atmos track absolutely rocks! When Rambo is on the machine gun in the back of the jeep, watch out! You might as well hide behind your couch and start ducking! Rambo fans shouldn’t have many gripes here as it’ll go great with the first 3 films released earlier in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.
