Plus there’s a much punchier and more natural look to the film’s skies (to an extent that becomes almost luminously beautiful at times) a more intense look to direct light sources and more cinematic luminance in bright highlights like glinting eyes and skin reflections. The nostalgic flashbacks to Tarzan’s youth look more dream-like, too, thanks to the extra HDR light pouring through them.

For instance, some of the shots in the jungle - particularly those around the fight with Akut - where sunlight streams through the trees look markedly more vivid, solid and full of depth than they do on the standard Blu-ray. There are times, to be fair, when the UHD BD’s use of high dynamic range technology ( explained here) is helpful.
Problems like these mean that overall, despite the normal HD Blu-ray displaying a noticeable increase in noise during dark scenes and reduced color saturations, I prefer its more consistent look to the hotch potch of the Ultra HD Blu-ray. The use of a wider color gamut and luminance range on the UHD BD version of the film actually highlights this sense of artifice versus the normal Blu-ray - especially as there’s some bizarre inconsistency in the way the color tones are applied.ĭifferent shots during the sequence where Tarzan and his group prepare to swing down with maximum preposterousness onto a moving train, for instance, look so uneven in color and light that they feel like they’ve been cut together from different films. There are gorillas and then there are CGI gorillas. It’s clear from his Harry Potter work that Yates is a fan of stylized color palettes, but the bias towards orange and blue that appears to have been chosen - for no good reason I can fathom - for Tarzan just adds to the sense of artificiality present in so much of the film’s imagery. There’s also something weird going on with The Legend Of Tarzan’s colors. The disastrous decision to focus almost exclusively on second-rate CGI to create the film’s creatures and many of its locations is ruthlessly exposed by UHD BD’s capabilities too, leaving pretty much every CGI animal looking hopelessly unrealistic and ruining every major set piece - especially the big wildebeest finale. The film’s inconsistency where sharpness is concerned is a constant distraction, too, as well as leaving you feeling routinely disappointed that you’re not getting a true 4K experience. Many shots, especially those featuring a large depth of field and/or heavy amounts of CGI, look barely HD, never mind UHD. Perhaps unsurprisingly all this mixing and messing has resulted in a really disappointing UHD BD picture.įor starters the picture seldom looks truly 4K in resolution.
