Score: 73

from 3 reviewers

Review Date:

World War Z in 4K UHD offers a solid visual upgrade, but limitations like the absence of the Unrated Cut in 4K detract from its full potential.

Video: 84

The 4K UHD release of 'World War Z' notably enhances visual clarity and depth with a new 4K DI master for the theatrical cut, Dolby Vision HDR providing improved black levels and vivid colors, though it retains some original visual quirks and does not include the Unrated cut.

Audio: 85

The 4K UHD Blu-Ray of 'World War Z' retains its dynamic 7.1 channel DTS-HD Master Audio mix, offering an expansive, three-dimensional sound field that energizes the action-packed sequences with clarity and punch. Although an Atmos or DTS:X update could enhance it, the current track delivers impressive atmospheric depth and sonic power.

Extra: 43

The extras on the 4K UHD Blu-ray of 'World War Z' include a slim selection of features, highlighted by a four-part production mini-documentary that, while insightful into sequence execution, often redundantly rehashes the plot rather than diving deeply into the filmmaking process.

Movie: 57

While the 4K UHD release of 'World War Z' offers improved sharpness, better black levels, and controlled colors through Dolby Vision, the film itself remains a frenetic action-thriller with a disjointed plot and lack of depth, highlighted by thrilling sequences but plagued by pacing issues and reliance on post-production fixes.
