Black levels are inky and rich with only a couple of murky moments in an episode or two. There are some big images in a couple of episodes that examine the brighter primary colors that pop, such as Episode three and the sequences in the abandoned mall which give off that '80s vibe. Within the city, the torn-down buildings bring s new forms of reds and oranges to the forefront. The blue and grey skies contrast perfectly with the green and beige terrain. The fungus-colored clickers present those Earthy colors that showcase yellows, greens, and decaying browns and blacks. The Dolby Vision enhances those darker sequences well and allows the detail to shine through in those low-lit corridors. With the subject matter as sour as it is, this is a surprisingly great-looking image full of color. The Last Of Us comes with a wonderful 2160p UHD 4K image with Dolby Vision that looks spectacular. There is no insert for a digital code, but there is one for the episodes and bonus features. The artwork is the poster for the show with Pedro and Bella looking back on a savaged cityscape. This plastic case is pretty janky, so being careful is a priority in handling this. The four discs are housed inside a hard, black plastic case with a cardboard sleeve. The Last Of Us Season One clicks its way to 4K via HBO and Warner. The Last Of Us Season One is one of those rare instances that only comes along once in a blue moon where it can earn the title of being one of the best first seasons of a television series of all time. These performances are award-worthy and infectious. Pascal and Ramsey relay these excellent tender moments along with their willingness to poke fun at the world in a way to keep their human sanity in the middle of something truly horrifying. The first season allows these characters to get a taste of what life is like in this war-torn society in all facets of kindness and ferocity. This is just as much a family drama and story of love as it is about a zombie infection. While The Last Of Usshares some surface elements with those zombie franchises that came before it, this is a beast of its own as Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) trek through a zombie-ridden world that has failed to start up again after twenty years and find help or a cure. It's a fantastic way to world-build a series and the creators here nailed it. But with The Last Of Us, it nailed each and every landing, including its character arcs, the sheer terror of the zombie outbreaks, and even sidelining the two protagonists and allowing this chaotic world to breathe by showcasing different characters who are only shown in one episode. Like the original game's opening sequence, HBO got it perfectly correct with the same amount of dread, suspense, horror, and action that transferred flawlessly to the screen, which is something that video games and movie adaptations have always struggled with. With that AMC series, there were hordes of different characters, all of which had to navigate a maze of screen time, which didn't always work out the best.īut with HBO's The Last Of Us, the story centers on only two strangers who form an almost instant father-daughter bond as they traverse through rough and scary terrain to find help after a serious pandemic that turned humans into funghi zombies. It really wasn't until The Walking Dead premiered in comic book form which then turned into an international sensation that zombies became popular again with that integral emotional support to all the gore and horror. Many filmmakers took their love of his movies and made their own special films about the undead in a variety of genres. From the success of this film, Romero went on to reveal his vision of consumerism, the military, social media, and other topical elements of the human race through his zombie universe. He not only showcased those flesh-eaters chomping down on human skin, but he told a narrative that was poignant about a suspected worldwide pandemic, racial issues, and more. In 1968, George Romero introduced the world to zombies. Fortunately, a decade later, the best cable television company HBO knows how brilliant that IP was and turned it into the most phenomenal series in the horror genre within its first season that evoked all those same unique feelings from the video game. The video game caught on and became an international sensation. It was titled The Last of Us and joined the zombie universe at a time when zombies were all the rage every single day of the week in some form or fashion. Those fortunate enough to have a PS3 back in 2013 were treated to one of the best video games ever made that not only combined the absolute best opening experience in virtual play, but also had the ingredients to cook the perfect balance of horror scares and character drama all into one game.
