So far, we don’t have any information about a 4k disc release of Darkest Hour [Updated: ‘Darkest Hour’ coming to Ultra HD Blu-ray], but given the excellent work of cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel (nominated for Best Achievement in Cinematography), we would hope an Ultra HD Blu-ray edition with High Dynamic Range (HDR) color would be in the works. (Although, the film can be purchased in Digital 4k/HDR from iTunes, and in Digital UHD from Fandango and Google Play.)
On Blu-ray, Darkest Hour is formatted in 1080p using MPEG-4 AVC at 1.85:1 widescreen aspect ratio. The soundtrack is offered in immersive Dolby Atmos backed by Dolby TrueHD 7.1 at 24-bits.
Extra bonus features include the featurettes Into Darkest Hour and Gary Oldman: Becoming Churchill, as well as feature commentary with Director Joe Wright. The 2-disc Blu-ray combo edition from Universal Pictures also includes a DVD and Digital HD copy redeemable with Movies Anywhere.
Darkest Hour on Blu-ray is list-priced $34.99 but pre-orders are available for $19.96 via Amazon (see below) or Best Buy $22.99.
