Paul Shenar · 1980s

dir. Luc Besson

Childhood friends Jacques and Enzo share a passion for the danger of free diving. Professional diver Jacques opted to follow in the footsteps of his father, who died at sea when Jacques was a boy; to the bewilderment of scientists, Jacques harbors a remarkable ability to adjust his heart rate and breathing pattern in the water, so that his vital signs more closely resemble that of dolphins than men. As Enzo persuades a reluctant Jacques to compete against him in a free diving contest -- determining who can dive deeper and longer without scuba gear -- Jacques meets Johana, a beautiful American insurance investigator, and finds that he must choose between his love for her and his love of the sea.

A-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Arnold's underrated 1986 action film. The StudioCanal steelbook is nice-looking, and people keep asking for Commando, a T2 remaster, and more Arnold on 4K. The previous StudioCanal Blu-ray looked bad, so the 4K is a real step up.

People who have owned this on every format from VHS through 4K say each upgrade felt meaningful. Often discounted to $10-11 USD new, which makes it one of the cheapest high-quality 4K discs in Universal's catalog. The special edition with the "World is Yours" statue and the 1932 original is a collector's item in its own right. A-Tier transfer with the neon and white suits looking exactly how you'd hope in HDR.
