Dragonslayer(1981)

6.5/10

dir. Matthew Robbins

A-Tier

A-Tier Paramount 4K. The dragon effects are still effective and the matte paintings have a tactile quality that CGI has never matched. A practical effects showcase.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace(1999)

6.6/10

dir. George Lucas

C-Tier

C-Tier 4K. The prequel trilogy's digital origins limit what 4K can do for these films, and the C-Tier reflects that. Disney had Sony handling physical media production and the Star Wars line has been going out of print, with restocks uncertain. If you want the prequels on disc, buy them when you see them.
