DOOR
12/03/2018

“Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the DVD I reviewed
in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.”
OVERVIEW: The
gravity of a limitless world continues to pull fans in for
the second season of HBO’s sci-fi hit series Westworld,
nominated for 21 Emmy® Awards across a range of categories
including Outstanding Drama Series. Today, Warner Bros.
Home Entertainment is announcing Westworld Season 2: The
Door is coming to 4K Ultra HD ($64.99), Blu-ray and DVD
featuring all 10 riveting episodes plus exclusive
immersive bonus features on December 4, 2018. Both the
Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD and standard Blu-ray release
will feature a Digital Copy of the series.
The
Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD discs of Westworld Season 2:
The Door will feature Dolby Visionä HDR that dramatically
expands the color palette and contrast range and uses
dynamic metadata to automatically optimize the picture for
every screen, frame by frame.
Also, the 4K Ultra HD
discs and Blu-ray discs of Westworld Season 2: The Door
will feature Dolby Atmos® soundtracks remixed specifically
for the home theater environment to place and move audio
anywhere in the room, including overhead. To experience
Dolby Atmos at home, a Dolby Atmos enabled AV receiver and
additional speakers are required, or a Dolby Atmos enabled
sound bar; however, Dolby Atmos soundtracks are also fully
backward compatible with traditional audio configurations
and legacy home entertainment equipment.
SYNOPSIS: In Season Two, viewers are welcomed back to Westworld, where the puppet show is over and the newly liberated “hosts” are coming for humankind. Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) takes charge, Maeve (Thandie Newton) is on a mission and the Man in Black (Ed Harris) is back. Chaos takes control in this dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness, the birth of a new form of life and the evolution of sin.
BLU-RAY:
The show is
presented in widescreen in a 1.78:1 aspect ration preserving its
television format. The picture is just flawless. Not only the
picture looks great in this release, also the sound it is good,
a 5.1 Dolby Supergirlital in English that provides a good complement
to the picture. It also includes English
subtitles.
