Even the very opening shot of the film, which appears to be almost totally CGI, looks noticeably soft and artificial versus the live action elements.

Especially when she's playing Danny De Vito. There is, though, a problem with the disc’s often exceptional sharpness: It exposes the relative softness/low resolution of some of the film’s digital effects.Īwkwafina makes a fun addition to the Jumanji cast. Skin details, clothing texture, desert sand, Jumanji’s non-CGI flora and fauna all often look truly spectacular - far more granular, precise and textured than they do on the HD Blu-ray. For much of the time, though, you’d seriously struggle to tell.įine detail levels can look genuinely spectacular at times - especially during relatively static shots consisting predominantly of ‘live action’ rather than CGI elements. My guess, though, given the amount of digital effects elements it contains, would be that it got a 2K DI, making this 4K transfer an upscale. I haven’t been able to find out for sure if the film received a 2K or 4K digital intermediate (if anyone does find out, let me know via the Twitter account listed at the bottom of this article). While not quite as consistently stellar as the picture quality of Zombieland: Douple Tap and Charlie’s Angels, Jumanji: The Next Level’s transfer still regularly looks excellent.
