But today is a day to celebrate. NEON has released EPiC (Elvis Presley in Concert) the tremendous documentary on 4K for the first time ever. Now Elvis Presley fans can get this 4K and celebrate his amazing life on the day of his passing in UltraHD.
Synopsis: For the first time ever, Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, tells his own story through candid conversations and dazzling performance footage from the early days of his Vegas residency. Witness never-before-seen archival footage unearthed for the first time.
One of the most successful Australian filmmakers in history Baz Luhrmann brings to the screen a close-up behind-the-scenes look at one of the greatest performers of all time. This documentary shows Elvis in practice, in the studio, at leisure and in concert. It is a wonderful peek behind the curtain on Elvis the man, the myth and the legend.
EPiC has been transferred to 4K in 2160p and is presented in 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Though that is not entirely true, as some footage is in full screen, so it is not completely in widescreen, but the majority of the film is. The audio track is an English DTS-HD MA 5.1 and an English Descriptive Audio. There is also the option for subtitles in English SDH and Spanish.
The film looks absolutely stunning in UltraHD. Now this was the first time I ever saw this film so I can't compare it to something else, but it looks stellar to me. And as for bonus feature. Well, this is where this release fails. There is not one bonus feature. This 'EPiC' of a release deserved much more.
All in all, I am still happy with seeing this film in UltraHD. Fans of Elvis are going to go bananas for this on 4k. So if you would like to on EPiC on 4k. Head over to Amazon and order your copy of this 4k today.
