James Gunn posted his excitement about the 4K Ultra HD release on his official Facebook page.
“4K UltraHD is almost certainly the best way you can see this movie at home,” he wrote, “With more definition and the most vibrant colors possible on your home screen, and with the brightest brights and the blackest blacks. A being composed of light truly appears to be a being composed of light! This version is a roiling cinematic river of beauty and I’ve taken hundreds of hours personally making it look the best it can. This is one of the reasons why LIGHT and COLOR are such important elements of Vol. 2’s story, and why we screened the World Premiere in Los Angeles in essentially this format.”
