I have been watching 4K discs since the format's debut last March, including review discs and others, but Warner's 2160p, HEVC/H.265-encoded UHD of Suicide Squad provided a unique experience, as I stared at the screen trying to make out any improvements over the standard Blu-ray. Since the film was completed on a digital intermediate at 2K, it isn't surprising that the 4K discs offers no increase in visible resolution, but the HDR encoding (so heavily touted in Warner's ubiquitous promo for UHD) typically supplies a more vivid image through improved contrast and black levels. Not so with Suicide Squad. Contrast is not enhanced, and to the extent blacks have been altered, the change isn't for the better. In scene after scene set at night or in dark interiors, blacks appear to have been brightened by the HDR encoder to the point where an already dim image has gained an additional layer of haze. (The scenes involving Incubus and Enchantress working together to destroy the world are particularly notable in this regard.) The change in black levels may also account for some subtle shifts in color values. For example, Deadshot's prison jumpsuit, which was previously yellow, is now a subdued shade of orange. The reds of Harley Quinn's hair, lipstick and costume are less red, while Joker's hair has become a shade more green. No doubt, adjustments to one's player or display device can compensate for these various anomalies, but what is the point of acquiring a 4K disc that requires tweaking the equipment just to achieve as good an image as the standard Blu-ray?
