The Ten Commandments 4K(1956)The life of Moses and his leading of the Israelites to the Promised Land. For more about The Ten Commandments 4K and the The Ten Commandments 4K Blu-ray release, see the The Ten Commandments 4K Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on March 17, 2021 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Cecil B. DeMille Writers: Aeneas MacKenzie, Jesse Lasky, Jr., Jack Gariss, Fredric M. Frank, Dorothy Clarke Wilson, J.H. Ingraham Starring: Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Edward G. Robinson, Yvonne De Carlo, Debra Paget Narrator: Cecil B. DeMille Producer: Cecil B. DeMille » See full cast & crew The Ten Commandments 4K Blu-ray, Video Quality 4K1080pThe included screenshots are sourced from a 1080p Blu-ray disc. Paramount states the following concerning its UHD release of The Ten Commandments: That's an impressive sell on paper, but how does the movie translate to the screen in its finished 4K/Dolby Vision form? In short, it's heavenly. Here's one of the most fundamentally gorgeous UHD releases on the market, and as it's sourced from the same master used for the 2011 Blu-ray it's not at all a surprise; that was a fine bit of work a decade ago and it remains today one of the peak releases for the 1080p format. Here, the textural richness and color outputs are only amplified. The upgrade to this format is substantial, though perhaps not mind boggling; that's not to put the UHD down -- it's clearly one of the best on the market today -- but that is to praise the Blu-ray, sourced from the same master and a presentation that has not aged a day since its release. Indeed, the Blu-ray is still a beautiful presentation both in isolation and in direct comparison to the UHD. It holds up extraordinarily well but it, of course, cannot match the UHD for sheer cinema splendor. This is the clear pinnacle of the film's home video output, and it's doubtful that even a 6K home release would serve as much of a leap, especially on typical home theater screen sizes. But the 4K presentation does see the image move well beyond the Blu-ray for textural and color output excellence. The UHD's ability to finely hone the dazzling textures on costumes and set pieces, never mind characters, cannot be described as other than "exquisite." The UHD brings more clarity and exacting precision to the screen, boosting the picture's essentials and fine point textural supports alike with perfect definition that brings new life to the picture. Texturally, it's a firmer, more precisely sharp picture compared to the Blu-ray. The similarities between the two are plain; the UHD simply brings more sharpness to the table and capitalizes on every opportunity to do so, even concerning extra-fine details like sweat and mud and straw as well as the regal Egyptian robes and ornate designs and decorations that adorn the high places. Grain management is terrific, a bit more refined on the UHD and delivering a perfect cinema epic perfectly on modern displays well capable of presenting the film in all its natural, glorious splendor. Matte shots still show amplified seams and a few shots border on looking cartoonish (3:22:00 for an example), but so have they always, whether something "simple" like a character waving a banner earlier in the film or, of course, at the climax when God (through Moses) parts the sea. Paramount did the best it could, it would seem, to find that sweet spot where the effects hold true to form while "fitting in" at very high resolution. There's certainly no reworking or damaging of original content here, so don't let the word "smooth" be a concern. Besides, by 200 minutes into the movie, hopefully the audience will be so invested in the story that the visual effects won't really stand out for what they look like but rather for what they mean to the story. The Dolby Vision color grading is likewise a great improvement over the Blu-ray's SDR range. This presentation has no fundamental changes on offer but only amplifies color output for depth and brightness and fidelity. Blue skies are brilliantly presented and boast newfound boldness; look at a shot early in the film when Nefretiri watches Moses' triumphal return to Egypt. The blue sky above and behind her is now rendered in a more striking, bold, and brilliant color, appearing somewhat, but not entirely, flat and bland on the Blu-ray. Much the same may be said of the ornate clothing seen throughout the film; flowing silks and colorful jewels and gems sparkle with newfound depth and tonal intensity. Even earthy colors -- stones, straw, mud -- yield much excellence for exacting depth and definition. Black levels are perfect, whites are brilliant and pure, and skin tones are spot-on. The Dolby Vision grading makes for a fine, and after watching vital, improvement to the picture. With the textural upgrades and increase in natural sharpness, not to mention total freedom from print wear and encode artifacts, there's no mistaking this as the new quintessential presentation of a legendary film. The Ten Commandments 4K Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe UHD disc does not feature a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X soundtrack. Instead, it simply repurposes the existing Blu-ray's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack. For a full audio review, please click here. The Ten Commandments: Other Editions
