House Of The Dragon In 4K

Thankfully it looks like those wanting to watch the latest Targaryen family feud won’t have any such problems this time out. House Of The Dragon, the highly anticipated Game of Thrones prequel series, is coming to Sky (and its streaming service NOW) in the UK – and will be available in Ultra HD (4K) / HDR, as Sky confirmed to us. Foxtel has announced it will premiere House of the Dragon in 4K Ultra HD -four times the resolution of HD- with enhanced Dolby Digital sound. HBO Max users worldwide can now stream all eight seasons of Game of Thrones in 4K resolution with HDR color — both Dolby Vision and HDR10 — and Dolby Atmos surround sound, HBO announced Monday.

This principal cast brings to life the complexities of both the Targaryen dynasty and their own motivations. Thrones had a pretty clear line between its heroes and villains – infamously so for its villains – but Houseis in contrast where all the characters are capable of morally grey actions. As the family splits into two factions, each side has their own valid points for what they do, making the line between good and evil murkier and the cast deliver incredibly well on these layered performances. This year Foxtel has doubled the amount of live hours in 4K Ultra HD available across sport – increasing to more than 200 hours – making it the largest broadcaster of 4K Ultra HD content in Australia, and now the home of one of the most popular entertainment franchises in 4K Ultra HD – House of the Dragon.This is presumably because a live 4K broadcast would consume too much bandwidth, with an on-demand streaming version being easier for Sky to push to your device. The features also make a point of how the creatives wanted to showcase the visual style of sets like the Red Keep and the power of the Targaryen dynasty with the architecture being more complex than Game of Thrones. Giant Targaryen statues stand in the throne room while the Iron Throne literally stretches out with more melted down swords or dragon skulls are placed with a religious-like reverence, something much different to the original series. Much like the first season of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragonis engrossing right from the start with its characters, played by an excellent cast, and its story. Whereas GoTwas a sprawling epic told all across and beyond Westeros featuring many clashing houses, House of the Dragoninstead focuses on the Targaryen family at the height of their power, yet also at a critical time in their rule that will define Westerosi history going forward. There’s also an irony as the show features more of the ‘game of thrones’ than Game of Thronesdid as multiple characters plot, lie and manipulate for more power and a chance to sit on the famed Iron Throne. It’s not like every minute of every episode is loaded with Atmos moments though. Far from it. The best audio moments are scattered among dramatic dialogue, often long and drawn out.
