      • The included Dolby Atmos soundtrack is the perfect compliment to the UHD's striking 4K/Dolby Vision visuals. The track opens with considerable space and clarity on a shore three minutes in, with rushing...

      • Mary Queen of Scots offers 4K UHD and object-based audio adopters something to see and listen to - even if the story is a muddled presentation of historical events. More of a romantic novel version of...
