Chernobyl (Blu-ray)
It was one of the worst man-made catastrophes in history. On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union suffered a massive explosion that released radioactive material across Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, and as far as Scandinavia and western Europe. This gripping and powerful five-part miniseries follows the tragedy from the moment of the early-morning explosion through the chaos and loss of life in the ensuing days, weeks and months. The cast includes Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgard and Emily Watson.

This well acted and well written true story miniseries tells of the most infamous nuclear disaster in history--and tells that story unusually well.
We see many different parts of the disaster from multiple points of view.
We witness the events through the eyes of the nuclear operators in the control room of the reactor who followed proper procedure to stop the meltdown from happening and wound up unexpectedly triggering the explosion by doing so (completely unaware of the dangerous flaw in the reactor design that was ultimately responsible for what happened). We also witness events through the eyes of those firefighters on the ground who walked into a situation their training could never have prepared them for (and many of whom paid for that with their lives), we see it through the eyes of the investigators who were shocked to discover the directly exposed core so radioactive it was ionizing the smoke above the blasted and battered reactor building making it glow weirdly--and who then had to figure out exactly why the reactor did the seemingly impossible by exploding when all the proper safety measures were taken to prevent it. We also see events through the eyes of the scientist who discovers her government is lying about the seriousness of the accident when, in the process of her research, she finds the city she lives in is being dangerously irradiated even at such a distance from Chernobyl. And we witness it through the eyes of the nuclear investigator who eventually finds the flaw in the reactor design which caused the disaster, and then is shocked to discover that this same flaw is present in ALL Soviet built reactors--and who is later even more shocked to find that the government would rather make believe there was no flaw to save embarrassment to themselves, than to actually fix the ticking time bombs in their other reactors in order to prevent the same thing from almost surely happening again.
My favorite of all was the final episode, in which the government hearing on the disaster takes place. By having the experts explain the technical details in ordinary everyday terms to the non-scientists on the government commission, the events of this tragedy are made just as clear to we the non-scientist viewers. And the explanation of what went wrong and why was utterly fascinating--the flawed emergency system to be used to stop a meltdown dead in its tracks when needed would really cause the reactor to do the opposite if it was actually used in such an emergency scenario!
Although the series may have taken a while to draw me in, once it had me it never let go. I couldn't stop until I had watched it all the way to the end--and I'm so glad that I did! This series was very well done and truly eye opening!
Chernobyl is an above average miniseries about a real life nuclear disaster and the 4K Blu-ray looks very good. As I mentioned earlier, Chernobyl was actually shot and mastered in native 4K, which rendered a superior image on the disc to many other offerings which are instead up converted from 2K masters.
Why TV series and miniseries are usually not released on 4K Blu-ray the way movies are is a mystery to me. In the entire history of the format only Westworld, Chernobyl and Game of Thrones (and spin-off House of the Dragon) and now Halo have ever been released in 4K. I know buyers would swallow up 4K collections of shows like The Mandelorian, The Expanse, Loki, The Crown, The Umbrella Academy, The Orville (which looks great in 4K, but is criminally only released on disc in the standard definition DVD format--not even in high definition!), and so many others if they were simply made available on 4K Blu-ray.
Never the less, we do have 5 shows available in the format and Chernobyl is one of them.
I recommend the purchase of this truly fascinating miniseries on 4K Blu-ray. Since even HBO Max doesn't show any of its own programs (other than "Game of Thrones" or "House of the Dragon") in 4K for some inexplicable reason, this is the only way to view it in the format it was actually filmed and mastered in--and beyond that it is also an excellent miniseries that is very much worth seeing. You can truly see it at its very best on this 4K Blu-ray edition.
I was previously unaware of the magnitude of the problems encountered and the poor decision making of those in command.
If one chooses to overlook the artistic license with the accents and the near complete absence of Russian with subtitles, you are left with a core of riveting content that is accessible to a much larger audience.
One of the best productions I have ever seen.

En el apartado técnico viene de un máster "4k", si lo comparamos con el blu ray normal no hay tanta diferencia quizá por que las cámaras con las que se grabó no son 4k si no 3.2k y la fotografía es oscura. el hdr está bien aunque no es extraordinario, quizá por lo mismo de la fotografía oscura. el hdr o el dolby vision si se nota quizá no tanto en brillo pero si en la gama de colores que solo el formato 4k hdr logra, aún asi creo que no hay tanta diferencia por el precio que cuesta, creo no lo justifica, si lo encuentras a mitad de precio como en mí caso creo que ahí si vale la pena comprarla, si no es mejor opcion la edición blu ray normal.
Incluso en mi caso tengo el reproductor blu ray 4k de Sony x700 que aplica una simulación de dolby visión a todos lo blu ray normales, y en esta serie logra un resultado casi idéntico a la versión 4k.
Viene con doblaje en latino 2.0 DTS
También con subtitulos en español.
