Ghostbusters was made for 3D. Literally, the movie features a number of instances where visual cues extended beyond the framing and poke out above the "black bars" for added effect. These are carried over to the flat 2D images on the 1080p and 2160p discs, but they make their mark in 3D. Effectively, they allow for a greater sense of "pop," which is part optical illusion as it stretches out onto otherwise blank space and part 3D magic. Ghosts sometimes seem to flutter above the screen. Beams fling out. Particles jump and hover beyond the frame's general confines. A familiar face crashes out of the screen in a key moment at the 1:27:47 mark, which is the single best 3D visual in the movie and one of the most fun and effective yet on the 3D format. The movie definitely works well in 3D, and beyond the jump out of the screen is a healthy, tangible sense of depth back in. Something as mundane as peering down into a sink is very effective, but more so are lengthy locations like city streets and a subway station that, with its somewhat cramped setting that's much longer than it is wide, offers an effective look in 3D, particularly as the platform gives way to the tracks and the very real sense of drop-off space. The movie's basic elements don't hold up quite as well in 3D, though. Colors are dimmer and the frame overall darker. Blacks lose some detail, particularly on clothes. Textures are noticeably softer. Aliasing is increased, and a few jagged edges work their way into frame. Still, it's an effective trade. The 3D effects are really spectacular, and the rest of the movie looks good enough in a complimentary role. Of all three options -- 1080p, 4K, and 3D -- this is the way to watch the movie. It's too bad the extended cut isn't available.

The 2160p/HDR-enhanced presentation of Ghostbusters offers a marginal, but noticeable, upgrade over the movie's 1080p Blu-ray transfer. The movie was reportedly shot at 2.8K and finished at 2K, making this, presumably, an upscale from that source. The image retains all of the same basic characteristics from the 1080p version, including a fairly hot, heavily saturated color palette. The HDR coloring brings a bit more stability to the presentation, firmer shades and more appreciable nuance, whether in subtle variations of color or big splashes, such as yellow taxis or ghostly green and blue shades. It's an impressive palette within the movie's stylistic choices, very bright and extremely bold. The HDR brings out the best of the most colorful apparitions, cityscape details, and clothes. The final showdown, which takes place at night and contrasts extremely vibrant neons against a largely black background, is most impressive. Detail tightens up too, not by a significant margin, but crisper clothing lines, facial features, varied textural features on building façades, and Ghostbuster equipment are nicely conveyed. The digital readout on Abby's helmet is much more clear and easier to read. Black levels could stand to tighten up a tad, appearing a touch washed out in lower light interiors, such as the mansion at the beginning, but holding rather firm at night. On the whole, this is a very impressive 4K presentation from Sony, even if it's upscaled from a lower-res source.
