Fans Will Have To Wait A Long Time To See Alita: Battle Angel On DVD And Digital

While we’re not particularly sure about why there’d be such a delay in the release of Alita: Battle Angel, it might be because of the Fox/Disney merger that also caused delays, reshufflings and in some cases cancellations to come down on projects that the now joined studios had on their respective dockets.

'Alita: Battle Angel' Bravely Takes On The HDR Format War

For tucked away in the disc specification section of 20th Century Fox’s press release for the upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez’s Alita: Battle Angel is the revelation that it will carry the film in both the Dolby Vision and HDR10+ formats. A fact which Fox has confirmed to me isn’t just a press release typo.

This means that no matter whether you have a TV and 4K Blu-ray player combi that supports Dolby Vision or a TV/4K Blu-ray combi that supports HDR10+, you will be able to enjoy Alita: Battle Angel with the extra scene by scene picture information both these so-called dynamic HDR formats provide. Which typically means you will enjoy enhanced contrast, brightness and color performance.

The decision to deliver Alita on 4K Blu-ray disc in both formats is a huge (and welcome) surprise for two reasons. First, it’s only the second title ever released on 4K Blu-ray that’s carried the film in both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ (the other being Lionsgate’s release of the latest Robin Hood film).

Second, Alita marks the very first 4K Blu-ray from 20th Century Fox that’s carried a Dolby Vision master.
