Nicolas Bannister, a rugged and solitary veteran living in a near-future Miami flooded by rising seas, is an expert in a dangerous occupation: he offers clients the chance to relive any memory they desire. His life changes when he meets a mysterious young woman named Mae. What begins as a simple matter of lost and found becomes a passionate love affair. But when a different client's memories implicate Mae in a series of violent crimes, Bannister must delve through the dark world of the past to uncover the truth about the woman he fell for.

A-Tier

A-Tier Disney 4K. Better transfer than the first Avatar. The underwater sequences work well in HDR more than almost anything else in the format. The steelbook leak photos became a meme before the real artwork was revealed.

A-Tier

Warner 4K. Ben Wheatley took over directing from Jon Turteltaub for the sequel. The underwater VFX benefit from HDR but the film itself split audiences. Available cheap on sale and pairs with the original Meg 4K.

May 19, 2026

May 19 release confirmed with a steelbook and Blu-ray 3D, which is a real draw for the 3D holdout crowd that still maintains active setups. Most people are waiting for the collector's edition that came with the other two films.
