![Jojo Rabbit - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9442d9ed-2c25-4ea5-b003-616861a024d0.jpg)
Writer/director Taika Waititi (director of THOR RAGNAROK and HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE) brings his signature style of humor and pathos to his latest film, JOJO RABBIT, a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis as Jojo) whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. In spite of his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Waititi), Jojo confronts his blind nationalism.

Impressive for an Upscale
on August 13, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
UHD disc looks really great (despite being a 2K upscale), with some impressive detail and lovely HDR. The added bitrate really lets this one breathe. Definitely recommended.

Great Upscaled UHD
on August 13, 2021
Posted by: rcafilm
Verified Purchase:Yes
UHD disc was great. Very often looked excellent despite being a 2K upscale (and one with copious amounts of effects, no less), especially in those crispy close ups. HDR wasn't quite as flashy as I expected, but it was great in other ways and really gave a great overall depth and sheen that fits the style.

Terrific Steelbook Set
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: rcafilm
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was worried that the artwork on the steelbooks would look cheesy, but in person it definitely looks better than online. The colors are nuanced and have a nice sheen. The case that the steelbooks mount into is also very sturdy and snug.

Great Show, Great Steelbook, Except...
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: rcafilm
Verified Purchase:Yes
A really beautiful steelbook. Sadly there is a misprint on both the front and spine that says "An HBO A 5 Part Miniseries" instead of "An HBO 5 Part Miniseries" or just "A 5 Part Miniseries". It doesn't stick out too bad, but it does kind of mar the rest of the really excellent artwork.

UHD Presentation is a Pleasant Surprise
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: rcafilm
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was very pleasantly surprised by the UHD presentation here. Obviously the source is 1080 so no resolution upgrade, but the HDR was a delight. This has always been a very visually pleasing film to me, and the HDR presentation is so clean and has so many gorgeous warm hues. Faces soak up light so naturally and drumkits shine in a way that just makes me happy. Some of the overhead shots in the final setup make the cymbals look incredible. All in all I was very, very pleased with what Sony did to the HDR in what could have very easily been a throwaway UHD upgrade.

Power up with this two-pack of CyberPower surge protectors. Each provides six 125-volt outlets with 500 joules of protection against electrical surges and spikes, making them perfect for home or office, and the metal oxide varistor technology diverts surges and spikes while allowing normal power through. These CyberPower surge protectors maintain clean power with EMI/RFI noise filters.

Get the job done!

These get the job done! For about $5 a strip, it's hard to beat. They may not be fancy, but 6 outlets does the trick.

Beautiful Set, Excellent UHD
on September 2, 2020
Posted by: rcafilm
Verified Purchase:Yes
The packaging alone is exquisite, but the UHD presentation takes it to another level. Beautiful restoration, lots of great moments via HDR and the new 4K scan. Really highlights the cinematography, which is something that draws me to this movie. There are a fair amount of opticals (mostly fades) in this movie, so not every shot looks up to snuff, but overall this is a pretty revelatory new remaster. The Final Cut is pretty good. I may still be inclined to favor the theatrical cut, but the Final Cut certainly offers some of Redux's more interesting moments with an easier to swallow runtime.

Excellent UHD
on September 2, 2020
Posted by: rcafilm
Verified Purchase:Yes
Obviously the movie is good, but how's the UHD? It wasn't always jaw dropping, but when it was, it was. A lot of the action looked fine, certainly the best it's looked on home media, but some of the breathing moments were fantastic. High contrast light on faces was a treat with HDR and the increased resolution really brought out the skin detail. All in all a highly recommended way to see the film.

Great movie, great Blu-ray, great service!
on September 2, 2020
Posted by: rcafilm
Verified Purchase:Yes
Obviously this is a terrific movie. Bought this online for store pickup and not only did it come with a slipcover, but they also were thoughtful enough to put the pickup sticker inside on the shrinkwrap rather than outside on the slipcover like I've seen in the past. Slipcover looks great! Another good reason to buy physical copies from Best Buy.
