(dir. Paul Thomas Anderson)

One Battle After Another, 4K UHD Feels Like The IMAX Experience:

One of the best films of 2025 is on 4K UHD. From Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment. Paul Thomas Anderson’s masterpiece, One Battle After Another feels even more immersive on 4K UHD. The ride with Leonardo DiCaprio (The Departed, Killers of the Flower Moon), Sean Penn (Mystic River, Milk), Benicio Del Toro (Traffic, Sicario), Regina Hall (Me Time, O’Dessa), Teyana Taylor (Entergalactic), and Chase Infiniti (Presumed Innocent,) feels like the rollercoaster glows and explodes even more. The past and present of Bob Ferguson (DiCaprio) carries with it the weaving obstacles of survival as well as a reminder that what goes around comes around. Especially with the pattern of dealing with his daughter Willa (Infiniti) and the enemy Steven J. Lockjaw (Penn). The dynamics of the direction of Anderson feels more spectacular on 4K UHD. 

Special Features:

Although there are limitations on the 4K UHD, the steelbook releases later in the spring. More features will be available in that format. On the 4K UHD, the specialty is to have the vibrant experience from home. Especially since it is one of those films where the more audiences watch it the shorter it feels. It does come with a digital code for viewers to be able to take the movie on the go with them and download it into their digital libraries. However, grasping the 4K moments is the primary and sole factor in One Battle After Another on 4k UHD.

Purchase or Pass?

For those who truly want to own the film, this is worth it on all fronts. However, the more in-depth and special features that will be available on  the steelbook edition, are likely worth the wait which comes out later this year. Regardless, this physical media edition provides grandeur of Paul Thomas Anderson’s unmistakable filmmaking entertainment. The 4K experience keeps the nostalgia alive and present, while the featurettes are limited, the imagery and sound quality is truly breathtaking.
