Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection (4K UHD + Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Below are the links for the individual seasons for those wanting a more elaborate review of the story in each season. Conquest and Rebellion (HD, 44:47) – This animated history was also found on the Season 7 Blu-ray set. The densest parts of the soundtrack - including the opening title track - can sound a little soupy, too. Daylight exteriors look much more life like too - and again this enhancement is delivered sensitively enough to stop the image from looking unnaturally stretched or making dark foreground objects look like empty silhouettes.

Colors have been enriched too, but usually only to the extent that they look more natural; more like they would, in other words, if hit in the real world by the sort of increased amounts of light the HDR regrade has introduced. The escalation of the tensions between Winterfell and King's Landing drive them while the lesser but integral subplots following Arya Stark, Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen provide an added and enriching layer to the proceedings.

And before you start thinking you can just watch these in-episode features on the HD Blu-rays, if you didn’t notice earlier in the release details section, you don’t actually get the HD Blu-rays of Season One in the 4K BD package. palpable renditions of fortress masonry or things like the wood grain patterns on some of the ships. The cumulative A/V score will still be based upon the HDR-10 rating, with the DV rating serving as informational only for now. Like in Season 8 there were moments in the crypt for example that were overly deep and inky compared to the moments outside. The first three seasons were shot in 10-bit 4:4:4 at 1920x1080 resolution using then prototype ARRI Alexa cameras (save for a bit of footage in the first episode that was actually shot on 35 mm film, left over from HBO’s original failed pilot).

Cast members Pilou Asbæk (Euron Greyjoy), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Aidan Gillen (Littlefinger), Conleth Hill (Varys), Harry Lloyd (Viserys Targaryen) and Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) team up to narrate the animated telling of Aegon Targaryen’s attempts to conquer the Seven Kingdoms. My 4K setup is in my living room with a 65" OLED set and while I can't really imagine re-watching the series in any other rooms since they have smaller 720P or 1080P TVs you never know when and if your hardware may need repair work.Making this particularly surprising is the fact that aside from a few bits in the pilot apparently being shot on 35mm film, so far as I know the first season of Game Of Thrones was only shot at 1080p.
