8 Tom Hardy movies from the 2010s on 4K Blu-ray, ranked S to D by transfer quality. 3 S-Tier picks including Dunkirk, The Revenant, The Dark Knight Rises.

Dunkirk

Dunkirk(2017)

7.4/10

dir. Christopher Nolan

S-Tier

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The IMAX aspect ratio changes throughout the film are handled cleanly on the disc, and the aerial dogfight sequences in HDR are demo material.

The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises(2012)

7.8/10

dir. Christopher Nolan

S-Tier

Warner S-Tier 4K. Available individually or as part of the Dark Knight Trilogy steelbook collection. The IMAX sequences are why people buy the set even though some prefer Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

The Revenant

The Revenant(2015)

7.5/10

dir. Alejandro González Iñárritu

S-Tier

Found at Goodwill this week. That's the right price for a disc this good. The 4K is one of the better Lubezki transfers in the format. If you see it cheap, grab it.

Inception

Inception(2010)

8.4/10

dir. Christopher Nolan

A-Tier

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Nolan's dream heist from the first wave of 4K releases back in 2017. A collector's edition with new packaging was announced alongside Interstellar, which generated more excitement than the film itself at this point. The rotating hallway fight and the city-fold sequence are still strong demo material. If you own the original 4K, the disc inside the collector's edition is likely the same.

Mad Max: Fury Road

Mad Max: Fury Road(2015)

7.6/10

dir. George Miller

A-Tier

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The HDR pass on the Citadel and storm sequences is what collectors hand people when they want to show off the format. Black & Chrome has never been pressed to 4K as its own disc. You can only get it on Blu-ray inside the Titans of Cult steelbook or the Japan Collector's Edition, and collectors have been asking for a standalone 4K pressing for years. The steelbook sold out instantly to scalper bots.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy(2011)

6.6/10

dir. Tomas Alfredson

A-Tier

StudioCanal A-Tier 4K via Kino Lorber. Oldman's understated Smiley is the performance everyone remembers and the muted 70s color palette translates well to HDR.

Warrior

Warrior(2011)

7.8/10

dir. Gavin O'Connor

A-Tier

The youngest son of an alcoholic former boxer returns home, where he's trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament – a path that puts the fighter on a collision course with his estranged, older brother.

Venom

Venom(2018)

6.6/10

dir. Ruben Fleischer
