Score: 79

from 9 reviewers

Review Date:

Cloverfield's 4K UHD release offers slight video improvements with Dolby Vision, retains its intense thrills, but lacks new audio tracks or features, making it worthwhile mainly during a sale.

Video: 72

Cloverfield's 4K UHD Blu-ray release significantly improves shadow detail, reduces digital noise, and enhances colors with HDR and Dolby Vision. Though still raw and gritty due to its found-footage style, the 2160p resolution offers a noticeable uptick in sharpness, deeper blacks, and more vibrant highlights, staying true to its original aesthetic.

Audio: 89

While the lack of Dolby Atmos or DTS:X upmixing on Cloverfield's 4K UHD Blu-ray release disappoints many, the preserved 5.1 Dolby TrueHD track retains its status as a reference-quality mix, known for its exceptional clarity, dynamic soundstage, and intense bass performance, making it a subwoofer test disc.

Extra: 75

The 4K UHD Blu-ray of "Cloverfield" adds no new extras, merely porting over the original Blu-ray's supplements, which include an insightful commentary by Director Matt Reeves, a picture-in-picture Special Investigation Mode, extensive making-of featurettes, visual effects breakdowns, outtakes, deleted scenes, and alternate endings with optional commentary.

Movie: 81

Cloverfield's 4K UHD Blu Ray release impresses with its 2160p transfer and Dolby Vision, though it retains the original Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack. The film itself, while divisive in its found footage style, remains a unique and tension-filled monster movie that captivates with suspense and a fresh narrative approach, despite some viewers experiencing motion sickness.
