ADDITION: Criterion Blu-ray (July 2022): Criterion have transferred Bong Joon Ho's Okja to Blu-ray and a 4K UHD transfer (with the Blu-ray included) - the latter presented with an Dolby Vision HDR pass. It is cited as being from a "4K digital master, approved by director Bong Joon Ho, with Dolby Atmos sound on the Blu-ray and 4K UHD editions". We usually aren't able to obtain 4K 2160P captures, probably, till after the release date - a function of the encode. This is presently true of almost all 4K UHD transfers. We will add them here when accessible. The stellar 1080P should give you an idea of the rendering as it will be from the same source. It's a brilliant image with the 4K UHD looking even more detailed, vibrant and encompassing - perhaps a shade less-blue dominant. The wide palette looks just stunning to behold - kudos, of course, to the art direction. Such a visual film deserves this exceptional 2160P home theatre presentation. In a word; "Wow!" While the degree of variance between Blu-ray and 4K UHD will depend on the system - the highest home theatre resolution is identifiable. Just immaculate. I can see some using it for Demo'ing to friends. 

NOTE: We have added 60 more large resolution Blu-ray captures (in lossless PNG format) for DVDBeaver Patrons HERE

Criterion use a Dolby Atmos track on both the Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs. It's a 7.1 track (24-bit) in the original English, Korean and Spanish languages. For Atmos many non-compliant systems will recognizes it as TrueHD 7.1, but from Wikipedia: "Because of limited bandwidth and lack of processing power, Atmos in home theaters is not a real-time mix rendered the same way as in cinemas. The substream is added to Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital Plus. This substream only represents a losslessly encoded fully object-based mix. This substream does not include all 128 objects separated. This is not a matrix-encoded channel, but a spatially-encoded digital channel. Atmos in home theaters can support 24.1.10 channel, but it is not an object-based real-time rendering. Filmmakers need to remix and render the TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus soundtracks with Dolby Media Producer." Okja has a deeply immersive soundstage from barely audible subtleties to rich deep-bass intensity and adroit separations. Sounds are coming from all over the place - strongly impacting the brilliant visual presentation. The varied score is credited to Jaeil Jung (Parasite.) Other music in Okja includes Harvest For The World performed by The Isley Brothers, Osvaldo Pugliese's A Evaristo Carriego, John Denver's Annie's Song, Sweeney's Cavalcade performed by The United States Air Force Band and J.S. Bach's Präludium Nr. 12 F-Moll, BWV 881, The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II performed by Roger Woodward - all sounding amazing in the Atmos. Criterion offer optional English subtitles on their Region 'A' / 'B' Blu-ray, as well as their 4K UHD disc which is Region FREE.
