Heat 4K(1995)Master criminal Neil McCauley is trying to control the rogue actions of one of his men, while also planning one last big heist before retiring. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Hanna attempts to track down McCauley as he deals with the chaos in his own life, including the infidelity of his wife and the mental health of his stepdaughter. McCauley and Hanna discover a mutual respect, even as they try to thwart each other's plans. For more about Heat 4K and the Heat 4K Blu-ray release, see Heat 4K Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on July 29, 2022 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5. Director: Michael Mann Writer: Michael Mann Starring: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Diane Venora Producer: Michael Mann » See full cast & crew Heat 4K Blu-ray, Video Quality 4K1080pNote: Screenshots are sourced from the 1080 disc. Heat is presented in 4K UHD courtesy of Disney / Buena Vista and 20th Century Productions with a 2160p transfer in 2.40:1. I haven't been able to find any authoritative source as to whether this was culled from the same master as Fox's 1080 release, which was reportedly done from a then new 4K scan, since the only information I could find simply offered a generic and frankly unhelpful in this instance "4K remaster". That said, this is an interesting presentation which to my eyes offered some noticeable if often pretty subtle differences from both of the previous 1080 releases. I'd say in terms of brightness, overall this one may tow a kind of fine line between the darker 20th Century Fox 1080 presentation and lighter Warner 1080 presentation, though interestingly this struck me actually more with regard to some of the more brightly, even naturally, lit outdoor or daytime set scenes than the often shadowy ambience that otherwise pervades Mann's sensibilities here, where one might naturally assume HDR would add nuance to the mix (which it may in fact do, though perhaps not to the extent some might expect). The term "dynamic range" gets bandied about quite a bit, and in that regard, I'd suggest that the dynamic range here between lighter moments and darker moments is appealingly wide, though kind of interestingly arguably not so much when it actually comes to the palette, which is inherently often tamped down and deliberately lacking what is traditionally called "pop". In fact what struck me here was a kind of slate gray look a lot of the time, which is admittedly already in 20th Century Fox's 1080 version but which seems somewhat emphasized here, which almost makes things look monochromatic or even desaturated and would seem to subvert what "HDR" may at least (rightly or wrongly) be thought of as providing. While I wouldn't term changes here extreme by any measure, there are some differences in tonal values, with both some of the lustrous blue tones in nighttime scenes, as well as some of the yellow and orange tinged moments having very vibrantly impressive presentations, and I'd argue slightly different "looks" from Fox's 1080 version. One of the nicest things about this transfer for me was the overall tightly resolved grain field. I almost get a little trepidatious when approaching shot on film features coming out on 4K UHD, since the increased resolution can sometimes make grain look dirty or swarm like. While there are moments here where grain can look just a tad yellow (you can see it in some of those aforementioned blue tinged nighttime scenes, as in the sequence with Jon Voight and Robert De Niro that leads into some police action with Al Pacino relatively early in the film), grain looks natural and adds a nice texture to the proceedings. As Ken mentioned in his review and I'll concurred in my 1080 review, you'll be able to spot some softness, and I'd say maybe even some slight variations in focus pulling, and there's a bit of fuzziness that can be detected in passing as a result that tends to be noticeable on the edges of objects. Heat 4K Blu-ray, Audio QualityThis 4K UHD release offers a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which to my ears was interchangeable with the one on Fox's 1080 release, and so I'll simply repeat some of my comments from my review of the Fox 1080 release. The film is kind of an aural roller coaster at times, cartwheeling between some good, boisterous action sequences and much quieter, if equally intense, dialogue scenes. This surround track delivers good immersion in the expected sections where on screen action takes center stage, contrasting nicely with dialogue scenes which tend to be anchored front and center. The low end gets occasional workouts here, though Heat may not completely satisfy audiophiles who want their caper films filled with nonstop effects in overdrive. Optional English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Japanese subtitles are available. Heat: Other Editions
