I have until December 31, 2019 to buy 2 free movies on Google Play. The promotion is only for movies that have a 4K format.
What movies should I buy? I want something shot in 4K, if possible.

I'd buy Moneyball and Inferno. I never buy movies, though. I rent them all of the time, but I don't own any. |

I've seen Moneyball.
I haven't seen Inferno, so will add that to the list.
I'll summarize the recommendations I've been getting, in a few days.
I also don't buy movies. Either I add them to the dvr wishlist, or I rent them.

I watched "Baby Driver".
After the first sequence, I thought it was going to be a predictable movie where each next heist would be more unbelievable than the next, and involve even more insane driving skills.
But the movie was more than that. There was some good character development for for Baby. Also, showing his background with his Mom.
This was a good fun movie with better character development than usual for an action movie.
The 4K HDR was nice, but I still think the difference between SD to HD is far bigger than something like HD to 4K HDR. That only enhances it a little.

Late response. The 2nd movie I picked was "Concussion". I watched it in December. In some ways, I thought this movie was even better for HDR, because of the medical imaging scenes.
Part of the reason for the late response, is I was having an issue when watching it. There was artifacting while watching it, on my 4K TV.
I tried it on my 4K computer monitor, it looks fine. I suspect the web version of Google Play is downscaling it to 480p, because when I open the web player, 480p seems to be the highest quality I can select.
I'm going to post on my TV's forum, to see if there's any suggestions with the settings. I tried different things, but it barely made a difference.
