2 R. Lee Ermey movies from the 1990s on 4K Blu-ray, ranked S to D by transfer quality.

A-Tier 4K. StudioCanal's Dolby Vision pass pulled more out of the film than anyone expected for a 90s catalog title.
dir. David Fincher
The 4K theatrical rerelease renewed attention right before the disc hit. The Zavvi "What's In The Box?" edition at $98 USD was roasted immediately, with one comment offering to put their DVD in a cardboard box with Walmart air fresheners instead. The standard 4K packaging also took heat for the case design, prompting custom case inserts. None of that matters because the A-Tier transfer on this film is exceptional. The dark interiors and rain-soaked exteriors test any display setup. Fincher's 30th anniversary restoration is the definitive home version.
