Having proved himself to a box office draw in Universal's Fast & Furious franchise and then successfully resurrecting his Riddick character, Vin Diesel returns again to resurrect another action thriller franchise as Xander Cage in
xXx: Return of Xander Cage. Returning after 15 years, Xander Cage was supposed to be a hipper take on the Spy-Fi subgenre built with extreme sports in mind. Now it is a by the numbers action flick that also brings back Ice Cube from the second film and delivers an exceptional diversion from real world troubles.
The Ultra HD version features a fantastic 2160p resolution with HDR and both the included 1080p Blu-Ray Disc that is included as well look fantastic. The bigger the screen, the more viewers should appreciate the HDR color and 4K Resolution, but regardless, both discs deliver when it comes to picture. The Dolby ATMOS Soundtrack is also engaging and is proof that picture is only half the experience. Sound completes it.
All of the bonus features are on the 1080p Blu-ray and they include the Third Time's the Charm: Xander Returns (8:13) promotional featurette, a short regarding the international casting (20:18), a look at the location set pieces (16:10) a stunt featuette (15:17) and a gag reel (2:12). A limited time only redeemable choice of either a Digital Copy or a Ultraviolet Digital Copy is included within the black Ultra HD BD case.
xXx: Return of Xander Cage: 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc is available now at retailers on and offline courtesy of Paramount Home Entertainment.
