Captain America: Civil War
4K Ultra HD
Blu Ray
Robust, emotional rollercoaster with global politics, personal ideals, and impressive action; a deep, smart, intense, and visually spectacular MCU film.
Captain America: Civil War was filmed with various cameras and resolutions up to 6.5K. The 4K/HDR UHD release is similar to The Winter Soldier but lacks IMAX ratio preservation. Its 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray features an HEVC H.265 encode with a 2K digital intermediate, providing a strong visual upgrade.
Captain America: Civil War's UHD disc features an enhanced Dolby Atmos soundtrack which, with a 7db volume increase, offers improved separation, overhead effects, smooth panning, and a more immersive experience compared to its 7.1 DTS-HD MA counterpart, particularly in the airport sequence.
The UHD disc has no extras; all bonus materials, including audio commentary and a 2-part documentary, are available on the included Blu-ray identical to the 2016 release. The Ultra HD combo pack features the same collection of extras found on the Blu-ray disc.
Captain America: Civil War showcases the team's conflict, stemming from their strength, resulting in catastrophe. Disney's UHD release sees Tony Stark and Steve Rogers divided over collateral damage in this action-packed film, following The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
Actors: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson
Plot: Political involvement in the Avengers' affairs causes a rift between Captain America and Iron Man.
Disc Release Date: 23 April 2019
