Video Quality
Bohemian Rhapsody's 1080p Blu-ray features a really fantastic sounding DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 mix that I just couldn't "cheat" about, giving it a 4.5, so that I could give this version a 5.0, indicating an uptick in quality. The fact is, the 7.1 mix on the Blu-ray is excellent and in my opinion unassailable from a technical standpoint, but even given that, the Atmos track offers the same surround activity that the 7.1 track does while also regularly engaging the Atmos channels and providing a nice array of overhead activity that is especially noticeable in some of the live performance recreations, where things like the huge washes of crowd noise break over the soundscape almost like waves. As with the 7.1 track on the 1080p Blu-ray, there is some really incredible low end here when the music kicks in, and many dialogue scenes also benefit from smartly placed ambient environmental effects. Dialogue is rendered cleanly and clearly on this extremely enjoyable and immersive track.
Note: As tends to be the case with Fox releases, the audio and subtitle specs for the 1080p Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs are not the same. The specs on this page reflect the specs of the 4K UHD disc.
