Use of the surrounds is understandably limited, but still effective in sequences such as God’s final plague on Egypt, with cries and screams ringing out from offscreen.Įxtras: The lone extra on the 4K disc is a commentary by author Katherine Orrison ( Written in Stone: Making Cecil B DeMille’s Epic The Ten Commandments) carried over from the earlier BD release. This serves the film very well with a spacious front-end, robust bass presence, and clear music and dialogue separation. Instead, we’re treated to a repeat performance of the DTS-HD MA 5.1 track that appeared on the 2011 Blu-ray. In addition to the expanded gamut and dynamic range, the 4K encode also benefits from a far sharper and more textured appearance – although neither this or additional studio tinkering can prevent the many special effects matte shots from standing out as obviously as ever.Īudio: There’s no trace of The Ten Commandments' original soundmix, nor has Paramount taken the opportunity to give the audio a Dolby Atmos/DTS:X overhaul. Side-by-side comparisons of the two discs are akin to somebody turning on a light switch, with the amplified – yet still entirely natural – colours and brightness bringing an additional vibrancy to the already impressive 1.78:1-framed 2160p imagery.

Paramount's 4K release of The Ten Commandments is based on the same 6K scan and restoration used for the film's 2011 Blu-ray, but thanks primarily to the new HDR10/Dolby Vision grading the difference in appearance between this presentation and its 1080p SDR predecessor is like night and day.

It undoubtedly feels a little baggy (and runs close to four hours), but sequences such as God’s plagues on Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and any time Charlton Heston’s Moses and Yul Brynner’s Ramses are at loggerheads, make it all worthwhile. DeMille’s mega-budget 1956 retelling of the story of Moses may be showing its age in places, but for sheer Golden Age Hollywood spectacle it’s hard to beat.
