Thankfully those panicky cinephile pioneers never saw the AI-enhanced upscaled version released by Denis Shiryaev, or they would have absolutely flipped their lids. A wild thought, given the blurry, low-resolution quality of the original film. Nowhere near the major step up in picture quality you might expect with this new format, but the improvements are there.When the 50-second silent short film L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat premiered in 1896, some theatergoers reportedly ran for safety at the sight of a projected approaching train, thinking that a real one would burst through the screen at any moment, Looney Tunes-style. The grain structure was minimal (except for one cloud scene) and organic when visible and added to the richness of the image.

It could be argued that this dynamic range pushes the picture too far and that the Full HD is easier on the eye due to it being more uniform (think Watchmen) but whereas that latter title was absurd, Girl has a far more natural stance and, for my money, stands above in terms of clarity.ĭigitally there were no compression or edge enhancement issues.

This is rare though.īrightness and contrast give tremendous blacks, far deeper than the 1080p image, hiding terrific detail in the shadows (check out Rachel’s many silhouettes in the tunnel), while the highlights are also clean and clear. Gradations in painted doors, or sharpness to street lights, or, best of all, the clearly evening shot overlooking the tracks with it ambers and blues is streaks ahead of the Full HD version which is bland, ordinary and could be any time of day. The WCG and HDR do, however, improve things, but not to the same extent as reference discs the nature of the film's colour pallet precludes bold colouring, indeed it’s all quite drab and earthy, but where the HDR really comes into its own is representing colours that the 1080p image simply does not have. Not the major step up in picture quality you might expect, but the improvements are there
Of course all this could be said about the 1080p image as well because the 4K image is a barely noticeable improvement. Distant and middle distant shots are just as clear, the autumn grassy laybys of the rail embankments, overviews of houses, establishing shots of the rail lines all are perfect.

We reviewed the Region free US Ultra HD Blu-ray release of The Girl on the Train on a Panasonic 65DX902B UltraHD 4K TV with a Samsung UBD-K8500 Ultra HD Blu-ray player.ĭetail is excellent throughout: skin texture, watery eyes and hair lines on close ups are crisp and sharp, while clothes have discernible weaves.
The disc uses 10-bit video depth, a Wider Colour Gamut (WCG) and High Dynamic Range (HDR), and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec. The film was upscaled to 3840 x 2160p and presented in widescreen 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The Girl on the Train was, unusually in this day and age, filmed on 35mm using both Arricam LT and SL cameras, and was finished using a 2K Digital Intermediate (DI), which presumably formed the basis for this Ultra HD Blu-ray release.
