RoboCop(1987)

7.6/10

S-Tier

Arrow's 4K transfer is called a reference disc for the format in collector circles. The grain structure is preserved, the practical effects are still effective, and the ED-209 stop-motion pops in a way it never did on Blu-ray. The 4K actually reveals too much for some people, like RoboCop's rubber chin guard and plastic armor textures. The original Arrow LE Blu-ray owners felt burned when the 4K came in identical packaging shortly after.
