      • That's more like it. Into Darkness arrives on UHD alongside 2009's Star Trek, and both have been upgraded to Dolby Atmos sound. Unlike the 2009 film, which never used the height channels to full effect,...

      • 'Star Trek Into Darkness' beams up to 4K with an English Dolby Atmos track (which plays as a 7.1 Dolby TrueHD track for those without an Atmos set-up) that is nothing short of reference-quality. Even slightly...
