Heat is presented in 2160p video resolution with HDR10 High Dynamic Range that expands the color depth to 10-bits (there is no Dolby Atmos spec on this title, so with some players like the Sony X800M2 you might turn off DV conversion to get native HDR10). This new 4k burn on Ultra HD Blu-ray was derived from the 4k master used for the 2017 release of Director’s Definitive Edition of Heat which was supervised by Director Michael Mann. Strong bass leaves a mark, but additional punch wouldn’t hurt. Depth and power resonate through the room and there’s enough weight to feel the jolts.

The great thing about this movie is that the more I watch it – the more I discover. De Niro’s character is deeply disturbed, yet he has the discipline to maintain a relationship but is bull-headed enough to pursue personal vendettas. Pacino’s character is perhaps more troubled than the man he pursues, yet he perseveres. Those familiar with Michael Mann’s work will be right at home here and I’d go so far as to say that this is my favorite movie by Mann (followed very closely by The Insider). I was intrigued to find that the story was based on true events and the more than adequate featurettes and commentary are worth the price of admission. Again I say that my words can’t do this movie justice, you’ll just have to buy and discover this for yourself. Highly recommended. Video: How does it look?

This is really the story of how the movie came to be, the influences for the writing and finally the casting and actual shoot. If you're hoping for a very immersive experience, well then Heat delivers in spades. Dynamics and spatial movement are amazingly energetic here. Seamless pans are everywhere--the train during the opening credits, the helicopter flybys, the airplanes landing and taking off at the airport--and adding extra punch to these scenes are extremely powerful bass frequencies. The rears are highly active with a variety of effects, from subtle ambiance in the restaurants and hotel lobby, to of course the heavy gunfire. The "ting" of shell casings hitting the ground is very distinguishable and bullets whiz by and burrow into the sides of vehicles with clarity. The multiple windshields shattering simultaneously during the armored car assault will likely make some OCD viewers vacuum their floor once the movie is finished.
