The Brutalist(2024)

dir. Brady Corbet

A24's 4K presents a film shot in VistaVision and scanned at 6K for the VistaVision portions, which is exactly the kind of pedigree that should make this a reference disc. The catch is that the disc is SDR only, confirmed on the back cover. The transfer still scores A-Tier because VistaVision's resolution and detail carry it even without HDR.

The Last Witch Hunter(2015)

5.9/10

dir. Breck Eisner

B-Tier

The modern world holds many secrets, but by far the most astounding is that witches still live among us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world and putting an end to the human race once and for all. Armies of witch hunters have battled this unnatural enemy for centuries, including Kaulder, a valiant warrior who many years ago slayed the all-powerful Witch Queen, decimating her followers in the process. In the moments right before her death, the Queen cursed Kaulder with immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter. Today, Kaulder is the last living hunter who has spent his immortal life tracking down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost family.
