Xanadu (1980/2025) – 4K Ultra HD Disc Review

KL Studio Classics | 96 min | PG | Release Date: August 19, 2025
Genres: Musical, Fantasy, Romance ✨


Disc Specs

  • Resolutions: 4K UHD disc (2160p), standard-Blu-ray 1080p
  • HDR formats: HDR10 + Dolby Vision
  • Aspect ratio: 1.85:1 (widescreen, enhanced)
  • Audio:
    • English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
    • English DTS-HD Master Audio 4.0
  • Subtitles: English SDH

Video Quality

The restoration yields sharp, vivid visuals. Scenes with strong lighting – stage lights, disco-floor flashes, reflective surfaces – pop in HDR; colors feel saturated but not oversaturated. Shadows retain detail; darker scenes retain mood without losing depth. Film grain is preserved and feels natural, giving the movie its nostalgic texture without looking flat or over-cleaned.


Audio Quality

The 5.1 mix provides an energetic, immersive soundstage: musical numbers are lively, vocals well-centered, instrumentation surrounds you nicely. The 4.0 track also offers a fuller experience than older stereo versions, with more presence in the rear channels. The dynamic range is generous for a musical: fanfares, climactic moments, dialogue all have punch and clarity.


Special Features

  • Includes both the 4K UHD and standard Blu-ray discs in the set
  • Enhanced picture quality (restoration and HDR)
  • Subtitled version with SDH for dialogue and lyrical clarity

✅ Overall Recommendation

If you’re a fan of musicals or enjoy visual spectacle from past eras, Xanadu in this 4K + Blu-ray set is a solid upgrade. The HDR and audio enhancements really help the film shine, especially in musical/disco scenes. Even if you don’t have a 4K setup, the Blu-ray holds up well. Definitely a good pick for collectors and light dance-floor nostalgia lovers.
