![]() It reminded me of the movie's theatrical presentation. I loved every minute of this engrossing audio mix. LFE has its moments, and when called upon offers a resonate force of bass. The crescendo of his prophetic voice fills the room. When Jules lays into his Biblical verses the entire soundstage quakes. Actually, the gunshots in 'Pulp Fiction' sound much more realistic than they do in other movies. Gunshots sound a bit tinny, but they've always sounded that way. Dialogue is perfectly intelligible, even during Bruce Willis' whispered lines. The rears are alive much of the time, especially during the dance scene and the scenes in the diner. This is a very fun, very energetic mix that uses every channel with purpose. Frankly, Lionsgate's new 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track is every bit as demo-worthy as any of the modern action and adventure movies that have come out on Blu-ray in the past few months. Now here's where you'll get an upgrade from the Danish import version. Unfortunately, there is no new Dolby Atmos or DTS:X mix here. This release comes with the previous lossless DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio track that sounds excellent. There are no problems with banding, aliasing, or heavy noise. This is a great looking new 4K transfer, but it never goes over that hill into perfection like the movie itself. ![]() The film grain is intact and never looks heavy or swarms. Again, the black suits look amazing here against the bright white walls of the apartment. Black levels are inky and rich that never bleed or look murky. Those amber-tinted sequences bring forth some great detail and other warmer colors to light that had been missing before. Jack Rabbit Slims showcases all of the primary and neon colors that bring a rainbow of boldness to the screen. This contrasts perfectly later in the film when Vincent and Jules are wearing bright neon shorts and shirts. The colors are bolder and richer whereas the opening scene at the diner gives way to those more neutral and warmer colors between Pumpkin and Honey Bunny. The new clarity brings a more complex palette to the screen. At Jack Rabbit Slims, the detail in the food and bubbles in the five-dollar milkshake are excellent. Metallic guns, vehicles, and other background items look amazing with the right amount of detail for each object. The individual facial hairs and beads of sweat come through better as well. Textures in those famous black suits now reveal their stitching and patterns that weren't quite noticeable before. The detail is vivid and sharp even in the warmer-tinted lighting conditions such as the diner and inside the club where Marcellus hangs out. While it has a great uptick in color output and detail, this isn't exactly a demo-worthy 4K release that would be used to show newcomers the format or to show off a new system.Ĭlarity and depth have big improvements this time around with this new transfer. This is one of the best films ever made and so should the video presentation that comes with it. Pulp Fiction comes with a wonderful 2160p UHD 4K image with Dolby Vision that upgrades the picture quality from the previously released Blu-ray. Inside the case, the artwork reveals facial portraits of both Vince and Mia dancing. The back side has the meal they had at Jack Rabbit Slims. The new artwork features an animated Vince and Mia twisting on the dance floor. The discs are housed inside a steel case with new artwork. Pulp Fiction twists its way to 4K + Blu-ray + Digital Code via Paramount in a wonderful-looking steelbook.
