Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom(1984)

7.3/10

dir. Steven Spielberg

S-Tier

S-Tier Paramount 4K. Spielberg's darkest Indy. The individual steelbook came after the box set, which meant double-dipping for anyone who already owned the 4-film collection. The mine cart chase is the demo sequence.

The Shining(1980)

8.2/10

dir. Stanley Kubrick

S-Tier

The 4K transfer delivers what HDR was supposed to do for horror. Room 237 has this sickly green cast that was always in the film but only became visible at this resolution, and the hotel hallway tracking shots have depth the old Blu-ray flattened.
