Video

In the Michael Bay tradition, Ambluance is a visually intense movie, slamming hard on the Dolby Vision via the blinding contrast and heavy black levels. Dimensionality stays at a constant, completely three-dimensional. This never changes or lets up. In terms of pure brightness, Ambulance is among the best in the market.

Finished at 4K, texture doesn't cease either. Facial definition pours out from the frame, and the numerous wide angles/aerials of the city look glamorous thanks to the sharpness. The slightest noise in this digital source doesn't cause any problems or degradation; usually it's confined to the background anyway.

Crazy color brings the primaries to a near bleed. Flesh tones oddly stay fairly natural, if slightly warmed. The rest though, they look sensational. The reds of the ambulance, neon sports cars, building paints, and other hues push limits but in the best way. It's hyper-aggressive, nigh surreal imagery, but for home theaters, absolute demo material.

Audio

Punishing low-end creates either a consistent heartbeat in the score or from the action itself. Vehicle engines roar as loudly as Transformers. Gunshots flood the room, pushing maximum amounts of air. The tightness, the rumble, and shaking - all reference grade. Ridiculous range, like the video, is pure Michael Bay.

Generous motion through the soundstage pans cars, helicopters, and even general ambiance through the city. Bullets whip past, ridiculously accurate. Height channels never waste an opportunity, utilized at every opportunity to press gunfire or debris as needed. It's masterful.
