To Kill a Mockingbird
4K Ultra HD
Blu Ray
A timeless classic with a sparkling new picture quality that heightens its raw emotions and intimate nature. Fully deserving of all the praise.
To Kill a Mockingbird gets a very good 2160p/HDR transfer from a 4K restoration master. The UHD format and Blu-ray share the same source and both offer a terrific viewing experience for this 35mm film.
The DTS-HD MA 5.1 track provides natural-sounding dialogue, depth in surround environment, without artificiality. No Atmos upgrade needed for this classic film; the existing DTS-HD MA 5.1 track from the 2012 Blu-ray is sufficient.
This UHD release of To Kill a Mockingbird includes legacy features from previous releases and adds a new supplement, showcasing a new featurette that spices up the edition. The entire supplemental package from the 2012 Blu-ray is also included.
Masterful storytelling enhances the experience, drawing audiences into the tale - be it verbal or written. Universal's timeless 'To Kill a Mockingbird' has been restored in 4K UHD with HDR specifications. Some novels leave an indelible imprint on our hearts and minds.
