4 Reg E. Cathey films on 4K Blu-ray, ranked S to D by transfer quality. 1 S-Tier pick including The Mask.
dir. Chuck Russell
Stanley Ipkiss, an insecure banker who has lost his zest for life stumbles upon an ancient mask, that turns him into a confident suave cartoon-like character who upsets his ordinary life.
Arrow Video · Limited Edition
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.
Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Rachel Talalay
After a comet disrupts the rain cycle of Earth, the planet has become a desolate, barren desert by the year 2033. With resources scarce, Kesslee, head of the powerful and evil Water & Power Corporation, the de facto government, has taken control of the water supply. Unwilling to cower under Kesslee's tyrannical rule, a pair of outlaws known as Tank Girl and Jet Girl rise up, joining the mysterious rebel Rippers to destroy the corrupt system.
dir. Josh Trank
Fox put this on 4K in March 2016 as part of their studio-wide catalog push. It's a 2K upscale that rates C-Tier and no boutique label has touched it. People buy this for the story around it, mainly Josh Trank's pre-release Twitter meltdown and the fact that Fox had Matthew Vaughn reshoot half the film.
