Studios shouldn't be doing this to their HD-focused customers. Warners used to be a big proponent of the format on Blu-ray, and it's, honestly, a much better, reference-quality mix. Imaging is solid all around as there is plenty of activity to give this mix a great sense of direction throughout.Īll around a solid mix, but what a shame that the 4K Blu-ray's Dolby Atmos mix isn't included here. Thankfully, these were pieces that were relatively unimportant and didn't require me to pop the volume up. So kudos to the show's sound engineers for doing a bang up job! That being said, there were a few moments I felt like I had a hard time hearing some lines of dialogue.
While the dialogue is often spot on, the scoring terrific, and the sound effects are great, it's the little sounds like gusts of wind or bits of grit and sand under feet or blades of grass rustling that really sucks you into the audio. One thing I loved about this mix is the sense of atmosphere and space it evoked. Westworld arrives on Blu-ray with a pretty standard but still very good English DTS-HD MA 5.1mix. Considering this is an HBO show, the success of this transfer comes as little surprise as they've been knocking the ball out of the Blu-ray park for some time. The scenes within the "maintenance" rooms for the attractions are cast in an eerie black, blue, and grey tone that gives you a great sense of expanse while also feeling claustrophobic. Black levels are deep and inky giving the image a terrific sense of depth and dimension. There is a great amount of primary presence with terrific pops of blues and yellow/browns to make the most of the western setting. Colors are a real stand out feature as the park gets to enjoy warmer colors compared to the cool sterile blue tones of the park's administration and management facilities. Details are impeccable allowing you to absorb all of these elements.

The entire disc set will be packaged in a collectible SteelBook case, and will include a premium collectible booklet. Now, the question remains – when can all this be yours? According to HBO, the Blu-Ray/DVD/4K package will be available beginning November 7, 2017. As reported by Den of Geek via films_at_home, HBO is making history with this release by also including a 4K Ultra HD disc set! This marks the first television show to ever get a 4K release along with standard Blu-Ray and DVD formats, and I must say, I cannot think of a more worthy series to blaze this trail of technological history. However, this isn’t your standard disc release. After what has seemed like much too long a wait, HBO has finally announced the Blu-Ray and DVD release of the first season of Westworld.
