Thanks for the review Cas,i wonder if their will ever be an 4K UHD disc release of this ?
Gutted I haven't got Apple TV. Everything else but. Will this come out to but in 4k disc?
I believe Masters Of Air will be apple TV too?
Favourite genre and favourite actor so can’t wait to see this, one small problem in that I don’t have Apple TV hopefully not too long till it comes out on disk
Exactly me this.
Thanks for the review, Cas.
A few years ago, your review of The Hunt For Red October, plus the other Jack Ryan films, on blu-ray gave me the nudge to buy the complete set. They were films that I had seen once, as a regular cinema goer back then, but your excellent reviews got me interested in watching them again at home. The Hunt For Red October is now an annual watch in my household and I have all the Ryan films on UHD.
I really liked the trailer for Greyhound but I probably wouldn't have gone to the cinema to see it and the 4K disc probably wouldn't be a blind buy I would splash out on but your review has convinced me to take up the free trial for Apple TV+ to watch it. I'll be well pleased if it's even half as good as THFRO so I'm glad that you saw some comparisons in the two films.
From what I've heard, Apple paid a LOT of money for this, so I'd assume they have exclusivity for quite a while.
For comparison, Netflix's Roma took about 15 months to make it to disc, and whilst this was a Sony movie, I'd be surprised if Apple didn't demand at least 6-9 months clear to recoup some of the cost of picking it up through subscribers / retaining subscribers.
Flipside is there's little 'new' making it to 4K now (for obvious reasons), and this'd be crying out for 4K treatment, so maybe Sony were clever enough to work in something a little sooner. If they'd stuck with their June theatrical release, it probably would have landed September/October, so there's an outside chance they agreed with Apple to commit to that, or maybe a commensurate month later, but it's a long shot.
Only time will tell, but I'd try a free trial - it's well worth it.
Fire sticks have apple tv if you have oneHow can I get this on my tv, don’t want to watch it on my iPad !?
Before you cancels check out a few of the terrific shows.I've started my free trial especially for this - then I'll cancel it. Can't wait for this evening, kids in bed, wine and Doritos

I'm surprised some people are complaining Greyhound is too short, because so many films these days have bloated running times that out-stay their welcome. For me Greyhound was perfect, and any attempt to cut away or expand the running time would have broken the tension. The whole point was that Hanks's character didn't even have time to eat a sandwich, let alone indulge in introspection or unnecessary character development.
Why don't you watch some of the shows on ATV+? They have quite a few now. I'm watching For All Mankind at the moment, and it's pretty good. I've also watched Servant and Truth Be Told. Everything looks expensive, as you'd expect.Fantastic movie - I'd been looking forward to this. Quality of picture and sound was better than I thought and pretty good, but still not up to disk standard, at least not on a projector. So now that's done and whilst I wait for a 4k disk release I can cancel my trial subscription now
You know, Cas, whilst I was watching Greyhound last night, I was racking my brains as to what film it reminded me of in structure and feeling and that's the one, The Wrath Of Khan.Much appreciate the comment. I remember the Tom Clancy retrospective well. Did one for the Mission Impossible films too to tie in to the 4th, IIRC.
There is certainly a THFRO vibe and thus, in turn, a Wrath of Khan vibe, which is what all the best 'naval' thrillers can only hope for really. It's wonderfully played out here, desperately tense and as many others have commented, a very welcome no frills runtime.
Thinking about it, it's a shame that no other Star Trek movie really managed to quite pull off that naval battles vibe (maybe Undiscovered Country came close), as it seems an obvious tactic which would have suited the action.
Just watched this in my home cinema on the big screen in 4K and Dolby Atmos, and I loved it. The film is a tourniquet-tight 90 minutes, looks awesome, sounds fantastic, and Hanks couldn't give a bad performance if he tried. I was even more impressed at the end, when I realised he also wrote it. A definite 9/10 from me.
Not fussed enough by anything else they’re offering tbh, I’ll bite the bullet and watch it on my iPad.Buy an Apple TV 4K.
Yes, the Apple TV supports Dolby Atmos.I do not have an Apple TV box and am considering this as a purchase.
Does the 4K Apple TV box transmit Atmos with within a Dolby Digital+ container?
I do have an Amazon Fire TV 4k stick however. Have not opened the box yet, is ATV available as an app on this?
Edit - Just noticed that the amazon web site does say Apple TV but not if ATV will be Atmos.

Apart from a sprinkling of very hamfisted pathos, I’m in broad agreement. Visually stunning, in a tight 90 minutes that even manages to find the time for some slow Blade Runner 2049-esque environmental photography.
