The First 4K Movie You Can Download Is 160GB And Absolutely Breathtaking


I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time and it’s here at last: Tom Lowe has released his stunning documentary, TimeScapes, which is a silent portrait of our planet captured with exquisite 4K cinematography.

It’s available in iTunes up to 1080p and also from his site at 1440p. That’s 2560×1440 pixels, the first 1440p film ever sold, which looks breathtakingly perfect on my 2560x1440b iMac display.

It’s also the first movie available to consumers at 4K resolution — 4096×2304 Pixels! It’s 160GB, in super-duper-awesometastic-high-quality Cineform 4:2:2 format. You can buy this one for $US299 in an external USB drive. [TimeScapes]
