I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time and, at last, it’s here: Tom Lowe has released his stunning documentary TimeScapes, 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 x 1440 pixels, the first 1440p film ever sold, which looks breathtakingly perfect in my 2560 x 1440-pixel iMac display.

But not only that: it’s also the first movie available to consumers at 4K resolution—4096 x 2304 pixels! It’s 160GB, in super-duper-awesometastic-high-quality Cineform 4:2:2 format. You can also buy this one for $299 in an external USB drive. [TimeScapes]
