We’ve got the specs and details for the 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray release of Point Break (2015). The film, already available on conventional Blu-ray Disc and Digital HD, will hit stores on Tuesday, June 7th. The Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack from Warner Bros. will carry a suggested retail price of $44.95 (likely to be priced at $29.99).
The Ultra HD edition from Warner Bros. brings four times the resolution of standard Blu-ray, with 4k video presented in 2160p using the HEVC/H.265 compression standard.
For those who own a 4k TV that supports High Dynamic Range (HDR), Point Break on UHD BD will also include the new HDR specification for deeper color depth, wider range of black to white, and more realistic imagery.
English audio will be offered in DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 — formats also available on the Blu-ray release.
The extra bonus material on Point Break includes deleted scenes, as well as the featurettes “Rock Climbing,” “Wingsuit Flying,” “Snowboarding,” and “Motocross” — presented in Full HD (1080p) on the Blu-ray copy.
A Digital HD version of Point Break will also be included with the combo edition, but we’re not sure whether or not it can be upgraded to Digital UHD. Warner Bros. seems to indicate in their press release it will be a completely separate transaction
