About this deal

Dredd is an excellent and fun-as-hell pulp film full of crazy stunts, non-stop action, violence, blood, and crazy visual effects. It's far enough removed from the Stallone film that it stands on its own with its own unique style. It's quite a lot of fun and has a great fanbase for many good reasons. I just hope there is a sequel to this at some point. Although not a perfect release, this powerful use of the new format's technology still puts it in demo territory

Dredd blasts an armour piercing round onto US 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with an impressive HEVC / H.265 encoded 2160p transfer framed in the movie's original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.40:1 widescreen. The UHD Blu-ray was reviewed on a Samsung UE55KS8000 Ultra HD TV and a Samsung UBD-K8500 Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Dredd keeps all the bonus material from the original Blu-ray release, all of which are found on the Blu-ray in this multi-disc set. Make no mistake -- this Dredd4K UHD English Dolby Atmos mixis the epitome of what an action movie should sound like. Judge Dredd is so popular in his native Britain that his name is used as a byword for the threat of a police state. Sadly, in America, most people's only exposure to the character is the 1995 Sylvester Stallone vehicle. While that movie has some fun elements, it did a terrible job of translating the comic to the screen. It's also tainted the franchise in American eyes so thoroughly that the character is considered something of a joke by anyone who hasn't read the brilliant comic books. As a result, another attempt at adapting the property to film hasn't happened for almost twenty years. But finally Alex Garland, author of The Beach and screenwriter of 28 Days Later, Sunshine, and Never Let Me Go, managed to get the funds together to make a low budget film, this one titled simply Dredd. Of course Dredd was originally designed to be seen in 3D, with key sequences (in particular the Slo-Mo drug-induced shots) specifically tailored to make the most of the format. Most fans would agree that the 2D versions released thus far have been inferior to the 3D experience, but that doesn't put Ultra HD adopters at a disadvantage thanks to the presentation's use of the High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Colour Gamut (WCG).Dredd develops a strong visual style, immediately distancing itself from the Stallone version. Dredd is dirty, grimy, and feels incredibly real. The film was shot in South Africa, with Cape Town and Johannesburg standing in for the east coast of the United States in a post-apocalyptic Mega-City. I was very impressed with the production design of Dredd. It feels like a place that could exist under the right circumstances, instead of the Blade Runnergone mad look that defined the 1995 film. Even more arresting are the "Slo-Mo" sequences. Slo-Mo is a drug that slows down time for the person high on it, and the filmmakers take great care to show these trips, turning gunfights into slow-motion ballets of death. Dredd takes this even further than films like Hard Boiled or The Matrix, using newly developed cameras that shoot at 3,000 frames per second, for an unparalleled sense of slow motion. The results are stunning. Many people don't know this, but there's more to the world of comic books than superheroes. In fact, many of the brightest names in American comics started writing in other countries, especially Britain, which has a distinct comic book industry that in many ways takes more chances than Marvel, DC, Image, or Dark Horse. Take 2000 AD as an example. This sci-fi anthology magazine debuted in the mid-70's, and in the second issue it featured a strip called Judge Dredd. The title character of the strip was a stern, no-nonsense cop living in an absolute police state. The property proved so popular that the strip has run non-stop in every issue of 2000 AD ever since. Even more surprising, the comic takes place in real time, meaning that one year of our lives is one year in the world of Judge Dredd. The comic is incredibly ambitious, with many storylines taking place over the course of six months or more.

Dredd 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Review | AVForums

Olivia Thirlby anchors the audience as Judge Anderson. Anderson is psychic, and her powers come to play a major role in the film. Despite this, she's a neophyte and we experience the world through her eyes. Thirlby is very solid, providing us with the sole character arc in the film, as she goes from scared trainee to battle-hardened Judge. If your only experience with Lena Headey is from Game of Thrones, then you might not even recognize her here as the brutal and sadistic Ma-Ma. Warped and scarred, Headey is a potent villain who proves to be quite the match for Dredd.

Dredd Featurette (HD, 2 min) – As you can probably tell from the generic title and short runtime, this is total studio promotional fluff, with more footage from the movie than anything else. Five years later, with still no sequel on the horizon, fans of Dredd can finally breathe a sigh of relief at the news of a Dredd TV show which will hopefully maintain the style and ethos of this faithful adaptation, whilst similarly utilising budget-friendly locales and smaller-scale stories to keep the costs down until it achieves the success it deserves. The only news fans are still waiting to hear is whether star Karl Urban - who, despite his excellent McCoy, and despite never getting to see his face here, will probably always be regarded as the definitive Dredd - will sign up for it.
