Streaming: The film began streaming on Peacock on March 21, 2025. Special Features

Video Quality: 9/10

• Codec Efficiency: The use of x265 (HEVC) combined with 10-bit color depth is the standout feature here. While standard 8-bit releases often suffer from "banding" (visible steps in gradients) during dark or color-rich scenes, the 10-bit depth virtually eliminates this. Expect smooth gradients, especially in the Emerald City scenes or the defying gravity sky sequences.
• Source Quality: Being a BluRay source, this avoids the compression artifacts found in WEB-DL versions. You get native HD resolution without the "blockiness" or digital noise that can plague streaming captures.
• Resolution: 1080p is the standard for HD. While not 4K, PSA's 1080p encodes are famously transparent—you would need a massive screen to spot the difference between this and a much larger source file.
