John Carpenter’s best work finally gets the UHD treatment and the results are astounding. Sounds great too.

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a plastic slipcover.

Great 4K, mediocre packaging.
on June 9, 2021
Posted by: Jake
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am very impressed with the actual steelbooks and the A/V presentation of each film. However, the outer packaging that houses the steelbooks is very minimal. The cardboard is way too thin and very flimsy. Thankfully mine wasn’t beat up when I picked it up, but I could see how others could be based off the way the packaging feels. Paramount should’ve opted for a more rigid box to hold the steelbooks. Much like the original Blu-Ray set. Overall I’m very happy to own the movies in 4K, but for the steep price of $100, I expected a little bit more quality.

Yes it is worth the upgrade!
on May 22, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
I owned the standard Blu-Ray from Kino Lorber prior to this release. I must say, this 4K version is the superior version of this film to own. Despite the lack of HDR, the 4K picture looks absolutely fantastic. The film looks very natural with lovely grain and well-colored scenes (unlike the previous Blu-Ray). I'd highly recommend it to fans or those looking to upgrade their previous Blu-Ray.

Great upgrade! Great for small rooms!

Really is a great sound bar. I had a cheap $50 one before I upgraded and the difference in sound blows my mind. It has great punch for its size and dialogue is significantly clearer.

Criterion does it again!

Verified Purchase:Yes
2nd time I’ve bought this movie within a year and this Criterion release is totally worth the double dip. Picture quality alone justifies the price because it’s fantastic. Leagues better than the standard Universal BR release. Also love how they included the TV version. Two thumbs up!
