21 Jump Street 4K Blu-ray Movie Review
Reviewed by Martin Liebman September 18, 2020Sony has released the fan-favorite 2012 Comedy '21 Jump Street' to the UHD format. New specifications include 2160p/HDR video and Dolby Atmos audio. Some new trailers are included on the UHD disc while the bundled Blu-ray, identical to that which Sony released in 2012, includes all of the legacy bonuses.
They were the flunky jock and the friendless nerd in high school. That was 2005, this is 2012. A lot has changed in that time, but much remains the same. Greg Jenko (Channing Tatum) still can't pass a test and Morton Schmidt (Jonah Hill) still cannot make heads or tales of social situations. But fate has brought them together once again, reuniting them at police academy where their one-time acquaintanceship in the hallowed halls of high school means they're a natural fit for friendship as adults, even if they share almost nothing in common save for the uniform they wear. The truth is that they are the perfect duo; between them there's one good cop, a combination of athleticism, street smarts, and raw knowledge that makes them a force to be reckoned with -- if they can get on the same page and realize that police work isn't a real-life movie. When they bungle a bust, it becomes clear that this twosome would be better utilized as part of a revitalized program from the 1980s. Their mission: to pose as brothers and infiltrate a local high school where a new super drug, known as "HFS," is just getting off the ground. They are to wiggle their way into the dealers' inner circle and unearth the identity of the supplier making it all happen. But that won't be an easy task, particularly when their identities are swapped and Jenko is forced into advanced classes and the nerd-osphere while Schmidt must play the part of the jock and popular kid. Can they survive high school a second time, and survive it playing the part they loathed back in the day?

21 Jump Street 4K Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality
The included screenshots are sourced from a 1080p Blu-ray disc.
Per IMDB 21 Jump Street was finished at 2K. The 2160p resolution
is not transformative for the movie. There's certainly a series of fine point textural gains throughout -- the picture is
a bit sharper here, a little more revealing there -- but there's no night-and-day dramatic contrast between the UHD and the Blu-ray in that area. Little
things like facial hair finds superior definition, fine object detail like clothing lines and police badges and patches show a little more clarity, pores are a
bit sharper, but don't expect to find a major overhaul to any one component or to the broader textural arena. It's better, just not to the level that makes
a monumental difference.
The big gain instead comes via the HDR color spectrum. The new grading brings newfound vibrancy to the movie. Gone is the Blu-ray's flat, dull,
and creamy appearance. Here, brightness is greatly improved and much more attention is given to boosting highlights. Whites enjoy a drastic
improvement, transforming from pasty to pure, finding a new level of brilliance and luminance, a vast improvement over the Blu-ray's uninspired
output. Flesh tones are healthier here, too, finding more life while blacks are superb, enjoying perfect depth and shadow detail. Bold
tones abound, beginning with the opening titles which offer a thoroughly reformed feel for depth and brilliance while louder tones throughout the film --
so many reds, blues, greens, and the like -- enjoy superior brilliance and contrast.
Several lower light scenes, for example at the 20-minute mark, show some noise, but it's not at all pervasive throughout the film. There are no
other source or encode maladies of note, either. This UHD is clean, efficient, attractive, and bolstered by a transformative HDR color output. This is a
solid
upgrade from the Blu-ray, even if the majority stems from the HDR color grading.
21 Jump Street 4K Blu-ray Movie, Audio Quality
21 Jump Street's Dolby Atmos soundtrack only builds on the Blu-ray's 5.1 lossless presentation. This track is expressive and exuberant as it expands channels and enhances the film's sound elements. Action scenes are obviously the highlight, exploding through the speakers with force and clarity to match. Surround engagement is steady while flow through the stage is seamless. The overheads don't offer much in the way of discrete support, but they do fold in elements, including music, for a more broadly engaging listening experience. Musical clarity is tight, spread along the front is wide and full, and the back channel wrap is perfectly balanced. Atmospheric supports are many and come frequently, again making fine, seamless use of the entire stage and seamlessly drawing the listener into the moment. Dialogue is clear and well prioritized as it emanates from a natural front channel position.

21 Jump Street 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
21 Jump Street remains one of the best and funniest of the growing number of newish movies based on oldish TV shows. Sony's UHD is excellent, delivering high quality 2160p/HDR video and Dolby Atmos audio. A few new trailers are included on the UHD disc and the Blu-ray includes all of the legacy supplements. Highly recommended, and fans can buy both films in one SteelBook if so inclined.
