Rocketman was shot digitally using Arri Alexa Mini cameras with a resolution of 3.4K and was finished as a 2K DI which has used for this Ultra HD Blu-ray release. The disc presents an up-scaled 3840 x...

The Dolby Atmos track is simply sensational, using all the channels to really immerse you in the surround environment. The musical numbers are wonderfully realised with a cacophony of sound from all directions,...

There is nothing on the UHD and we have been unable to view the extra features on the Blu-ray, here is the list from advertised material. Sing-along version Extended Musical Numbers Deleted and Extended...

Much like most music biopic pictures, from The Doors to Bohemian Rhapsody, tonight’s feature, Rocketman pays only lip service to the truth, but unlike those films, it is upfront and obvious in its fiction...

Director Dexter Fletcher’s Rocketman is less about the telling of the story of rock legend Elton John’s early life as it is about show business and addiction, and it uses the star’s songs as a narrative...

Holy hot momma, this is one hell of an effective Dolby Atmos mix! I love the juxtaposition from the quiet and easy-going conversational moments, where there is almost no sound, to the booming vibrant song...

Rocketman comes loaded with some pretty decent bonus features! A lot of it is typical EPK stuff, but the content is pretty good. There's a lot to pick through here and should keep you occupied for a bit...

Stars rise from the ashes. Or in the case of Reginald Kenneth Dwight (Taron Egerton), humble beginnings. Very humble. A piano prodigy at a young age, Reginald grew up in a strict household under the thumb...

I may not love biopics, and I certainly don't enjoy most musicals, but Rocketman worked. It was solid entertainment with some of Elton John's best tunes and terrific performances. It's not my favorite...

Color reproduction is consistent, with primaries like blue, red, and green appearing richer, even a bit more delineated. During interior sequences whites are emboldened, detailed and bright, especially...

In many respects the track retained the feeling of being front focused, however when called upon its ability to render acoustics, point to point imaging and expanding the breadth of the soundstage never...
