Mad Max: Fury road

George Miller’s return to his dystopian franchise was already an action masterpiec­e. In 4K, its auto-carnage will become the most visceral experience you can have without shaving your head and sharing a bunk bed with the Doof Warrior.

kingsman: The secret service

With Netflix committed to streaming in 4K, top TV series will also feel the benefit of greater resolution and depth. Which is good news, because at least 44 of Kevin Spacey’s Machiavell­ian facial expression­s aren’t detectable in standard HD.
