Fury stars Brad Pitt (Mr. & Mrs. Smith) as Don "Wardaddy" Collier, a U.S. Army staff sergeant - Pitt has seen his fair share of soldier roles throughout his career, each one different from the next. The film also stars Jon Bernthal (Baby Driver) as loader Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis, Shia LaBeouf (Transformers) as Boyd "Bible" Swan, Michael Peña (American Hustle) as Trini "Gordo" Garcia, and Logan Lerman (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) as Private Norman Ellison. Ellison makes his way into the crew after their assistant driver–bow gunner "Red" was killed in action. He must earn the respect of his new crew members and finds that he isn't quite up to the task to do what needs to be done in the gritty and harsh life that has been bestowed upon him. However, after a series of costly mistakes, and a lot of trauma along the way, Ellison does finally come to earn the respect he desires and become the man they want and need him to be.
Fury is presented in 2160p with HDR10 encoding in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Details are sharp and almost lifelike. The color palette is expanded as well compared to its last release. Blacks have a better spectrum helping to depict the harsh elements of war that writer/director David Ayer (Suicide Squad) put into this film but were previously hidden. The upgraded Dolby Atmos soundtrack truly packs punch and adds to this action film. The cliche phrase often used that you "truly feel like you are part of the action" certainly applies here. The sounds of war echo throughout your entire home theater with bullets bouncing off the ceiling and walls, coming a bit to close to comfort.
