About this deal

This year’s meme given cinematic life proves to be both better and worse than any sort of expectations one may have coming to a film named ‘Cocaine Bear’. And yes, there will be expectations...

There are brief featurettes and a “making-of” in addition to an alternate ending and over four-minutes of deleted and extended scenes that continue the insanity. The audio commentary with director Elizabeth Banks and producer Max Handelman is the key inclusion. So should fans just wait for the inevitable 4K release from Universal now? Is that what they’re thinking we want? Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie.Cocaine Bear was shot using the ARRIRAW 4.5K digital source with Arri Alexa LF and Arri signature Prime lenses. Theatrically it had a 4K digital intermediate which, while no other information could be found about what the source of this discs’ image could be, it seems reasonable to assume is the source of the 3840 x 2160p resolution image in a theatrically accurate 2.39:1 aspect ratio that also utilises 10-bit video depth, WCG and a HDR10 grade (no Dolby Vision), all of which has been encoded using the HEVC/H.265 video codec. resolution allows for more intricate clarity that does not make new information appear, but that renders the information that is here more readily Speaking of encountering the titular bear: here’s where Banks finds her biggest success. As expected, this drug-fueled ursine is not only smarter than your average bear, it also harbors the biggest cocaine habit this side of Tony Montana, and will do anything to feed that need. Anything. And really, the film only works whenever the 500-pound flimsily rendered apex predator is on the screen as it slices, dices, rips, and shreds its way through human fodder as it seeks out the next high. While genre lovers will likely wallow in the film’s gonzo attitude and style, it never comes close to being as wild and, ahem… gutsy, as it tries to be. a rich, lush image that just misses out on the very top tier of fine detail, but remains overall a simply gorgeous picture... Though not a fault of the transfer, the CGI effects (particularly the bear) are a bit sketchy. After all, there's no way to hide budget effects in a 1080p transfer.

Cocaine Bear delivers just about everything that one would expect of a movie called Cocaine Bear: it's gory, irreverent, and Scenario #1: the movie didn't do well enough for Universal's analytics to expect significant demand for a UHD BD. a wash between both releases. So, overall, those looking to upgrade would be fine waiting for a steep discount, and first time buyers should certainly Yeah, not a fan of this business model. Big thumbs down from me. Just release the 4K alongside the 1080p discs, Universal! As these many and varied subplots intertwine, the bear wreaks more chaos and kills off various characters, leading, sadly, to a pretty foreseeable conclusion.

That movie was Grizzly, and along with the likes of Piranha, Squirm, Empire of the Ants, Alligator and Day of the Animals (where an enraged and topless Leslie Nielsen wrestles a bear during a thunderstorm – no, really!) formed a movement of ‘nature run amok’ movies, each successive one being of a lower quality than the last, culminating in the roaring, performing rubber shark of Jaws: The Revenge in 1987. And whilst the deliberately (so they say) bad run of CGI hybrid creature features that SyFy and The Asylum brought to the public’s attention in the 2000s continues to this day, the novelty factor that made them famous has become somewhat nauseating. When a frenzied drug smuggler dumps his cocaine cargo over the beautifully idyllic Chattahoochee–Oconee National Forest, the white power is Universal has released Cocaine Bear to the UHD format just five months -- almost to the day -- after the studio first brought the film to Doing Lines - Cast and filmmakers read lines from the script to COCAINE BEAR, which was a work of art unto itself.
