The Departed's new 2160p/HDR10 4K UHD transfer, supported by Warner Bros.' Motion Picture Imaging and Thelma Schoonmaker, provides a refined, film-like presentation with notable improvements in fine detail, black levels, and color depth, setting a new standard for visual quality.

Audio: 85

The Departed's 4K UHD Blu-ray boasts a robust DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio mix, providing crystal clear dialogue and impactful background music while maintaining balance and intensity akin to its previous lossless PCM 5.1 release, though an Atmos remix would have been a compelling addition.

Extra: 51

The extras of 'The Departed' 4K Blu-ray feature insightful new and legacy content, notably the new 'Guilt and Betrayal' retrospective with Martin Scorsese discussing film influences, and detailed examinations of Whitey Bulger's true story and criminal culture, though some valuable 2007 Blu-ray features are missing.

Movie: 76

Martin Scorsese's 'The Departed' receives a robust 2160p/HDR10 upgrade in its 4K UHD Blu-ray release, boasting an impeccably clear transfer that complements its well-acted, twist-laden crime drama—a solid catalog enhancement enriched with a new retrospective featurette but lacks a remastered Blu-ray.
