When you see the the full capabilities of end-to-end 4K video production, we think you'll agree - there's nothing else like it.Movies and TV Shows Restored and RemasteredOverseen by the artists and technicians at Sony Pictures' Colorworks facility, the 4K movies and TV shows available via Sony's 4K Video Unlimited service are fully restored and/or remastered from original film or digital elements

The teams have worked diligently to restore classic favorites like Lawrence of Arabia with state-of-the-art technology and remain faithful to the filmmakers' intents, while also ensuring that the latest new release titles like Elysiumare given extra care to bring them from the theaters into the home in 4K

That care and skill also extended to TV episodes with the fan-favorite Breaking Bad, presenting the series in 4K for the first time, exclusively via Video Unlimited.Maintaining the Look and FeelEach movie has its own look and feel, especially when presented in 4K Ultra HD

The Sony Pictures team has worked to carefully maintain the original look and feel of each movie, just as the filmmakers originally intended

While newer movies are often shot digtially, older movies were shot on film, which, for example, can result in varying levels of grain

However, the preservation and presentation of that grain is very important to make those movies look just as they did in theaters...and not every movie is intended to look as smooth and new as Total Recall or The Amazing Spider-Man()

With film, the grain is an inherent part of the image and removing it would significantly decrease picture detail

Additionally, some filmmakers used this grain as part of their storytelling to give the movie a grittier, textured "feel" for the audience

4K Ultra HD is an ideal way to remain true to the filmmakers' original intent and present movies in the home just as they were shown in theaters.Additional FeaturesStore your 4K movies hereMovies downloaded from the Video Unlimited 4K service can be stored on the media player’s 2TB3 built-in hard drive
