Sinners

Sinners(2025)

7.5/10

S-Tier

Warner kept the IMAX aspect ratio scenes on the 4K instead of cropping them to a locked 2.39:1 frame. Dune collectors have been waiting for a studio to actually do that. The 100GB disc with Dolby Vision is a real spec sheet for a major release in 2025, though the standalone keepcase drops the Blu-ray and only the steelbook version includes both discs.

The Batman

The Batman(2022)

7.8/10

dir. Matt Reeves

S-Tier

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The disc menus load straight to the play screen with no ads or warnings, which is something every 4K should do. Amazon returns are a known issue with this title, people opening the shrinkwrap, taking the 4K disc, and returning it resealed.

The Woman King

The Woman King(2022)

6.9/10

A-Tier

The story of the Agojie, the all-female unit of warriors who protected the African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s with skills and a fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen, and General Nanisca as she trains the next generation of recruits and readies them for battle against an enemy determined to destroy their way of life.
The Running Man

The Running Man(2025)

6.8/10

dir. Edgar Wright

People are fighting about whether Edgar Wright actually cared about this release. The special features are boutique-level, which counts for something. Amazon pushed delivery dates to May 5th. People cancelled and went to Walmart. The UK already had it a week ago.
