We hear the low rumble of waterfalls exiting the city’s huge barrier wall, but then things get deafly quiet as Hans Zimmer’s (of course) score accentuates the vastness of the empty landscape with soaring horns and haunting voices. The film is striking and visually lush, packed with gorgeous details that flesh out K’s futuristic Los Angeles and the locales he visits in his investigation, including the eerie wasteland outside the city where K and Joi speed to in their flying car. In the course of his work, he stumbles across a conspiracy, which in turn begins to unlock memories that - by all accounts - he shouldn’t have. Set some 28 years after the events of Ridley Scott’s 1982 classic, the movie follows Officer K (Ryan Gosling), a replicant - the movie’s term for android - who is tasked with hunting down and “retiring” older replicant models.
For the superlative experience, we’re still going to recommend, where available, physical 4K Blu-ray discs – paired with a capable player, they still offer the highest, most-consistent visual quality, and if a film has an Atmos mix, it’s almost guaranteed to feature on the disc version. If you’re a Sky Q TV subscriber in the UK there’s a growing list of movies in its on-demand library that includes Dolby Atmos sound mixes, though note that its 4K platform still doesn’t serve HDR visuals, which complement Atmos nicely. Apple’s iTunes and Vudu also offer Atmos content. In most cases, you can surface the Atmos-enabled content just by searching for ‘Dolby Atmos’.
Most of the big-budget Netflix originals offer Dolby Atmos sound mixes along with their 4K HDR visuals, and the same goes for Amazon Prime and Disney Plus. It’s increasingly easy to find Dolby Atmos-mixed TV and movies, thanks to the ever-adapting power of TV streaming services. With its multiple Spider-people and psychedelic palette, Spiderverse’s stomping soundtrack and high-flying web-swinging make for a great reason to add some verticality to the Atmos mix. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, married the comics’ goofy glee with an art style that dazzled, with every frame a technicolor marvel to look at. That an animated spin-off movie would prove to be one of, if not the best Spider-Man film since the early Tobey Maguire days was an unexpected and welcome joy.
