Guardians of the Galaxy fans now have one more reason to be extremely happy. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 director James Gunn recently confirmed that Disney will release this movie in 4K and HDR too. As a matter of fact, this will be the first Disney movie to come in such a high resolution. Unfortunately, the company only released 1080p movies in the past few years. Other studios got ahead of Disney a while ago by releasing 4K movies via streaming, downloads, and disc. It was about time Disney did the same. The fact that the studio chose Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 to be the first movie released in 4K only makes things better.
Nowadays, movies are filmed with 8K cameras. it only makes sense we should get them at least in 4K. It probably will be awhile before we can get our hands on 8K resolution movies. Until then, 4K will have to do it. Even so, compared to 1080p flicks, 4K videos will be a lot more interesting to watch. Especially those that use great special effects, like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 does.
According to James Gunn, “4K UltraHD is almost certainly the best way you can see this movie at home – with more definition and the most vibrant colors possible on your home screen, and with the brightest brights and the blackest blacks. A being composed of light truly appears to be a being composed of light! This version is a roiling cinematic river of beauty and I’ve taken hundreds of hours personally making it look the best it can. This is one of the reasons why LIGHT and COLOR are such important elements of Vol. 2’s story, and why we screened the World Premiere in Los Angeles in essentially this format.” The director also mentioned that the movie will be available in 3D too.
The fact that Disney finally starts to release movies in 4K doesn’t only mean that we will get to enjoy watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 in this resolution in our homes. It opens the road for other great Disney movies to come in UltraHD too. Just imagine how great it will be watching Star Wars in 4K, lying on your couch! It seems that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 will land on August 22. The movie will become available on DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray at that time. The information comes from an international document, not from Disney. This means the release date could change. Even so, it won’t be long before the studio will release the flick.
