Here is our spoiler free review of Murder On the Orient Express 4K UHD Edition.
Kenneth Branagh directs and leads an A-List cast, including Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penélope Cruz, Judi Dench and Leslie Odom, Jr., in this stylish, suspenseful and thrilling mystery based on the best-selling novel by Agatha Christie, the world’s best-selling author. Everyone’s a suspect when a murder is committed on a lavish train ride, and a famous detective must race against time to solve the puzzle and stop the killer in their tracks.
Produced by Branagh along with Ridley Scott, Simon Kinberg, Mark Gordon, Judy Hofflund and Michael Schaefer, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS is loaded with bonus material that dives into the making of the film including eleven deleted scenes, commentary by Branagh and much more.
As this is a spoiler free review, and for those who may not know the story of Murder On the Orient Express, I won’t talk about any of the plot. What I will say is that it was a very enjoyable movie, even if you have seen a different version of the story in the past.
This particular version was the 4K UHD version and the picture quality was stunning. This may not be the first movie you think of when you want to watch a 4K movie, but given that 4K TV’s are now becoming more affordable, you may as well watch the movie in the best quality available.
In terms of sound, there is also a Dolby Atmos track, although we couldn’t review that because we didn’t have any Atmos speakers to hand during the review, although Atmos really does add to the overall experience of any movie.
The extras included are also interesting – ranging from documentaries to commentary from Kenneth Branagh. If you want to know more about the movies and the process behind it, then these extras really make buying the movie worthwhile.
Murder On The Orient Express is available on Digital Download, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD now.
