K-19: The Widowmaker

K-19: The Widowmaker(2002)

6.5/10

dir. Kathryn Bigelow

S-Tier

S-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Kathryn Bigelow's submarine thriller with Harrison Ford. Shout picked it up for 4K. Not much collector excitement, with one person calling it a sleep aid.

Kingdom of Heaven

Kingdom of Heaven(2005)

7.3/10

dir. Ridley Scott

S-Tier

Disney finally cracked the 20th Century back catalog with this one, the first proper 4K of Ridley Scott's 2005 Crusades epic. The Steelbook ships both the Theatrical and Director's Cut on the same disc, with the Director's Cut being the version that turned the film's reputation around. Reference-grade transfer that honors the way Scott shot it. Natural grain, no AI sharpening. Walmart $39.99 USD, Amazon restock waves clearing. Collectors are already comparing the OOP risk to the Lawrence of Arabia steelbook.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe(2005)

7.1/10

dir. Andrew Adamson

A-Tier

Collectors have been asking for a proper 4K of this one for years, with the 20th anniversary as the obvious window. Second Sight picking this up would be a statement release if it materializes.
Batman Begins

Batman Begins(2005)

7.7/10

dir. Christopher Nolan

C-Tier

C-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The weak link in the Nolan Batman trilogy on 4K. Dark Knight and Rises look much better.

Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray
Love Actually

Love Actually(2003)

7.1/10

dir. Richard Curtis

D-Tier

D-Tier Universal 4K. Richard Curtis' holiday ensemble film with no relevant collector discussion about the 4K. The D-Tier suggests a basic catalog transfer, and it probably moves in December.
