Some hot recent cinema releases joined an eclectic pair of back catalogue titles on 4K Ultra HD this month. Learn more about what released in our 4K July 2022 round-up.
4K Ultra HD of the month
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Release date: July 20
Possibly the wildest cinematic adventure to hit screens in 2022 so far saw Swiss Army Man writer/director team Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, AKA simply ‘Daniels’, launch a movie that was simply billed as “a hilarious and big-hearted sci-fi action adventure about an exhausted Chinese American woman who can’t seem to finish her taxes.”
It’s a fair summation, as Michelle Yeoh tackles various multiverses – including the wonderful one with sausage fingers, as pictured above – trying to bring order back to things and save her original timeline.
It’s a treat on 4K Ultra HD, too, with a native 4K transfer boosted with Dolby Vision, and a Dolby Atmos soundtrack that isn;t afraid to have some fun. Bonus features include an audio commentary, featurettes, deleted scenes, outtakes and more.
