Creed 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

One Step, One Punch, One 4K Disc at a Time

Reviewed by Michael Reuben June 9, 2016

As a movie, Creed is the standout in Warner's second wave of UHD releases (which includes Point Break and In the Heart of the Sea). Writer/director Ryan Coogler's stirring reinvention of the Rocky franchise remains as vital and energetic as when it first appeared. Has 4K/HDR treatment improved on the Blu-ray release from March 1, 2016? Only a little.

Note: The included screenshots are sourced from a 1080p Blu-ray disc. Watch for 4K screenshots at a later date.

Sourced from a 2K digital intermediate, Creed's UHD presentation offers no meaningful improvement in resolution or detail, and the HDR encoding leaves the film's palette unchanged (which is a good thing; Creed has mostly realistic colors that shouldn't be altered for "pop"). Where HDR makes a subtle but noticeable difference is the enhanced contrast that provides additional texture to Creed's varied settings. For example, in the first meeting between Adonis and Rocky at the restaurant named after the champ's late wife, the darkened recesses of the establishment have more depth and presence. In the Liverpool boxing match, individual figures in the huge crowd are more readily distinguishable from one another. The differences are subtle and could easily pass unnoticed except in direct comparison to the Blu-ray. I had to switch back and forth between them to see any change.

The UHD release of Creed features the same DTS-HD MA 7.1 track previously reviewed. It also adds a substantial complement of additional audio and subtitle options, which are listed above.

The UHD disc contains no extras. The accompanying standard Blu-ray is identical to the initial release and contains the same extras discussed here.


Creed 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.5 of 5

Creed is a fine film, one worthy of multiple viewings. However, its UHD iteration doesn't offer enough improvement on the already excellent Blu-ray to justify a double-dip. If you're an early adopter of UHD and don't already own the Blu-ray, then Creed is worth considering, if for no other reason than that it's one of the best films on 4K to date.
