Back to the Future Part II(1989)

7.8/10

dir. Robert Zemeckis

A-Tier

A-Tier Universal 4K. Same disc quality as the first film. The trilogy exists in multiple box set configurations.

Universal Pictures · Limited Edition Steelbook

Stand by Me(1986)

7.8/10

dir. Rob Reiner

A-Tier

Sony A-Tier 4K. The steelbook reissue added Dolby Vision, which sparked a debate about whether the DV upgrade is worth double-dipping for. The consensus leans toward marginal improvement unless you're really looking for it, but the transfer itself is strong and the Pacific Northwest summer photography has the kind of natural lighting that benefits from HDR.
