Roeg's 1976 oddity returns in 4K, and the critics still split: it is an ambitious, dreamlike, sometimes baffling film, with Bowie otherworldly and a plot full of gaps.
Its cutting, its mood and its sense of alienation win praise, while its vagueness and arbitrary touches lose points. Come for the strangeness, not for answers. Three and a half out of five.

Reviewers single it out for Dolby Vision at a budget price, with Atmos and DTS:X passed to your receiver. Lacks HDR10+, and its menus are dated.

Plays 4K Blu-rays as well as games, so it makes sense if a console is on the list anyway. As a disc player, reviewers rate it only average next to a dedicated deck, and enabling Atmos takes a trip into settings.
