7.6/10

dir. Andrew Niccol

S-Tier

S-Tier Sony 4K. Ethan Hawke in a near-future genetic discrimination story. The sterile production design works with the 4K transfer.

Apollo 13(1995)

7.7/10

dir. Ron Howard

A-Tier

The true story of technical troubles that scuttle the Apollo 13 lunar mission in 1970, risking the lives of astronaut Jim Lovell and his crew, with the failed journey turning into a thrilling saga of heroism. Drifting more than 200,000 miles from Earth, the astronauts work furiously with the ground crew to avert tragedy.

Air Force One(1997)

6.5/10

dir. Wolfgang Petersen

A-Tier

The 2018 Sony 4K is the cheaper way in but the 2023 Steelbook is the better disc, adding the Dolby Vision the original is missing and bumping bitrate onto a BD-100. Both pull from the same restoration. Reference-level video and the Atmos remix is the standout, especially what it does with Goldsmith's score. Die Hard on a plane with Harrison Ford running it. The floating-head slipcover gets ribbed in the comments but most people are buying for the line read.

Barb Wire(1996)

4.1/10

dir. David Hogan

C-Tier

C-Tier Turbine 4K. Pamela Anderson sci-fi. Kino Lorber also has a release. The C-Tier is expected.
