Elvis [4K UHD]

Product Information

Blacks are deep and inky, with strong shadow detail (the night time scenes in downtown Memphis, especially). First off, I must state that the Dolby Atmos mix here on 4K UHD Blu-ray (via physical media) packs a much stronger punch than what I heard (via streaming) on HBOMax. In the lone extra, film critic/historian Leonard Maltin says, director Michael Curtiz (“Casablanca,” “White Christmas,” Paramount’s first VistaVision film; “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” “Yankee Doodle Dandy”) who had 178 film credits, told the 22-year-old singer from Memphis to “underplay the role” of Danny, the rebellious nightclub singer. So, it’s not far off when he discusses that all in the film and was just changed up for dramatic impact. The track is a hugely musical affair, and its mix beautifully captures the energy and vitality of those many live musical performances.

Luhrmann is Australian and he and a few others talk about how Australia and Los Angeles were used as the locations for the film. How do you even begin to tell a story of an individual that is so well known, most of the human beings on the planet are able to pull out an impression of him the minute a few alcoholic beverages are consumed? A real surprise is that Paramount ported over the 4K master with Dolby Vision and HDR10 toning for the majority of the digital platforms. The main cast and crew talk about the inspirations of Elvis and how the King's style was brought to the big screen.

Home Entertainment's Elvis (2022) stayed on top of the Blu-ray only and overall packaged media charts, while Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Minions: The Rise of Gru also remained in second place on . The quieter sequences also take advantage of the spatial audio, providing ambience and atmospherics to family gatherings at Graceland or carnival exteriors. So, that means first with the 1950s, then with the 1960s and 1970s decades the lenses changed to give it a unique visual style. It plays out a bit like some sort of “Sympathy for the Devil” of sorts, and again Hanks delivers one unforgettable performance here as what most would consider an unlikeable person or conceivably even villain.

One thing that I will point out, in no way a “spoiler” but factual inaccurate here, is that Bobby Kennedy was not assassinated during the “68 Comeback” TV special on NBC that Elvis did.
