The 2013 Keanu Reeves version gets a mediocre reception in every thread. Most comments acknowledge the film is not great but the disc looks good. The steelbook design earned some appreciation despite the film's reputation. The 1941 Japanese original is the one Criterion collectors actually want, and it still doesn't have a proper Blu-ray in the collection.

S-Tier Arrow Video 4K, but buyer beware. This disc has a reputation for read errors and pixelation across multiple players, and Amazon has it flagged as "frequently returned."

People keep designing custom steelbooks for this film because none of the official ones quite get it right.

S-Tier Paramount 4K. The best MI film by most accounts. The 6-movie 4K set has been available for around USD per film, but a lot of people are holding out for the eventual 1-8 complete box.

Criterion's push into Black cinema alongside Menace II Society and Do the Right Thing. Gordon Parks' 1971 original, not the 2019 sequel.

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.

Elastigirl springs into action to save the day, while Mr. Incredible faces his greatest challenge yet – taking care of the problems of his three children.

A-Tier Disney 4K. Pixar's emotions film. Inside Out 2 launched at $45 USD steelbook-only, and it became the poster child for Disney's aggressive 4K pricing. The original Inside Out 4K is still available at normal prices. The color-coded emotion worlds look really good in HDR, lots of saturated primary colors that benefit from the wider gamut.

Walt Disney Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Christopher Nolan

A-Tier Paramount 4K. One of the most-owned 4K discs in any collection, and the IMAX shots that fill the whole screen are the reason. The new collector's edition swapped the steelbook for a cardboard sleeve, which went over about as well as you'd expect. The original steelbook restocked at Walmart and moved fast.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Jon Favreau

A-Tier 4K. The Mondo steelbook #48 artwork reveal has MCU collectors tracking the whole Iron Man line. Best Buy had an earlier exclusive steelbook too.

dir. Shane Black

A-Tier 4K. The most divisive Iron Man sequel but the Best Buy exclusive steelbook still gets collected alongside the others. Mondo art is reportedly coming.

dir. Wes Anderson

A-Tier Criterion 4K. Wes Anderson's stop-motion film set in a dystopian Japan. There's already a steelbook floating around, and Criterion's 4K gave people a reason to double dip. All that stop-motion texture and detail really benefits from the resolution bump.

Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Paul Greengrass

A-Tier Arrow Video 4K. The fifth Bourne film and the weakest of the Matt Damon entries. The whole Bourne 4K set has a problem with the first film's transfer, which was pulled from an old HD master with heavy noise reduction and actually looks worse than the Blu-ray. The later films are fine. The set goes on GRUV's 2-for-$22 USD deals regularly.

A-Tier Lionsgate 4K. The Saw franchise revival entry. Mostly appears in Saw completionist collections and in Walmart steelbook stock lists. Not a title people seek out individually, but franchise collectors keep it in rotation around Halloween.

Disaster strikes when a criminal mastermind reveals the identities of all active undercover agents in Britain. The secret service can now rely on only one man - Johnny English. Currently teaching at a minor prep school, Johnny springs back into action to find the mysterious hacker. For this mission to succeed, he’ll need all of his skills - what few he has - as the man with yesterday’s analogue methods faces off against tomorrow’s digital technology.

The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the world’s last remaining Crystal, and the menacing empire of Niflheim is determined to steal it. King Regis of Lucis commands an elite force of soldiers called the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king’s magic, they fight to protect Lucis. As the overwhelming military might of the empire bears down, King Regis is faced with an impossible ultimatum – to marry his son, Prince Noctis to Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae, captive of Niflheim, and surrender his lands to Niflheim rule. Although the king concedes, it becomes clear that the empire will stop at nothing to achieve their devious goals, with only the Kingsglaive standing between them and world domination.

dir. Rian Johnson

A-Tier Lionsgate 4K. Rian Johnson's murder mystery with Daniel Craig's southern accent. The steelbook had a famous Easter egg slipcover that reveals plot details when flipped backwards, and it caused near-panic when it first released. The steelbook's distressed design means scratches and dents blend right in. Reprints are available through Lionsgate for around $71 USD plus shipping.

A-Tier Universal 4K. Kung Fu Panda 2 snuck out on 4K with barely any marketing. People missed it entirely. The DreamWorks 4K transfers have been inconsistent compared to what Pixar gets, and expectations are tempered accordingly.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. George Miller

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Miller's Fury Road, and the disc people use to show off what 4K can do. The Black & Chrome version never got a 4K release, which is a persistent frustration since plenty of collectors consider it the definitive way to watch. The steelbook sold out instantly and scalper bots were blamed. Multiple steelbook editions exist across retailers and regions.

A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. She rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal – an act that begins to turn her heart into stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading King's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom – and to Maleficent's true happiness as well.

A-Tier Paramount 4K. McQuarrie's first MI entry. The Rogue Nation steelbook has been sitting at $5-6 USD for a while, which tells you where it sits in the franchise pecking order. Part of the matching steelbook set that collectors are building.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Barry Jenkins

A-Tier Lionsgate 4K. Barry Jenkins' Best Picture winner. Lionsgate's 2017 4K was one of the earlier releases in the format and has decent extras including a commentary. People want a boutique release or at least a steelbook, but the existing disc is fine.

Lionsgate · 4K Ultra HD

dir. Wes Anderson

A-Tier Criterion 4K. Wes Anderson's New England romance. Available in the Wes Anderson Archive box set or as a standalone Criterion 4K. The box set is divisive, with some people calling it an ugly eyesore and others loving it at 50% off. The Royal Tenenbaums disc in the set has a known issue during the cemetery scene that Criterion will replace.

Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Darren Aronofsky

Criterion flash sale pickups are pushing this one back into conversations. The A-Tier Paramount disc benefits from HDR more than most because the lighting design carries most of the tension. Aronofsky's biblical allegory disguised as a home invasion film, and the 4K presentation makes both halves hit harder.

A-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Dan Gilroy's LA crime thriller with Jake Gyllenhaal. The steelbook cover art was universally hated, which is frustrating for a film this good. It's a 2K digital intermediate upscale, but the Drive 4K upscale turned out well so there's hope.

A-Tier StudioCanal 4K. The first Paddington in 4K, part of a 3-film collection from StudioCanal. People had been waiting for this, and the set dropped to £17 on Amazon UK. Nearly universally loved as comfort viewing. Custom steelbooks with embossing have been made because no official steelbook exists.

StudioCanal · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Paul King

A-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Paddington 2, which some people consider a nearly perfect film. The Paddington 2 steelbook became a weird grail because it was hard to find. Available in the 3-film collection now. Germany got the first film on 4K before the UK did.

A-Tier Paramount 4K. The 2019 Pet Sematary remake. Available in the Paramount Scares Volume 1 box set at about $10 per film. Multiple steelbook editions exist including Mondo and Cine-Museum Art versions. The 3.5 overall score is middling.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

A-Tier Paramount 4K. Gore Verbinski's animated western. The 4K announcement was a big deal, and Paramount was praised for continuing to release catalog titles. The steelbook and slipcover look great. People want the live-action reference footage included as a bonus feature. One of Paramount's stronger catalog 4K years.

Lionsgate 4K, 2-disc set. Goes on sale regularly at Best Buy and Amazon for around $10 USD. The transfer is fine for a mid-budget action comedy and the cast of Willis, Malkovich, Mirren, and Freeman makes it an easy catalog pickup.

dir. David Twohy

Shout Factory's 4K landed with a censorship controversy. The theatrical cut had a scene edited out, which Shout acknowledged publicly. Comments split between people defending the director's choice and people arguing the theatrical version should match the original theatrical release. The Chronicles of Riddick 4K from Arrow also circulates in the same collector circles. Disc quality itself is strong.

Shout! Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. José Padilha

Shout Factory A-Tier 4K, part of the same wave as RoboCop 2, Matinee, and Species II. The 2014 remake still gets dismissed by fans of the original, but Shout's transfer is strong enough that some people are revisiting it.

The Rogue One 4K went through an OOP scare when Sony took over Disney's disc production. Prices spiked online before people realized it was a manufacturing transition, not a permanent discontinuation. Amazon had it back at $30 USD eventually. The disc itself includes Dolby Atmos and collectors consistently call it the best Star Wars film since the original trilogy. Disney's Star Wars 4K line lacks cohesive cover art, which bothers completionists.

Walt Disney Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Ron Howard

Shout Factory's 4K arrived early for some buyers and people had been waiting years for this release. The F1 racing film plays beautifully in 4K with the race sequences benefiting the most from HDR. Strong collector enthusiasm, with Gruv orders also fulfilling. Ron Howard's best film in years according to most of the discussion.

Shout! Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Oliver Stone

The announcement generated more debate about the film's quality than excitement about the disc. Oliver Stone hinted that Platoon is getting a proper 4K redo from Shout Factory, which overshadowed Savages entirely in the same news cycle. The film is polarizing but the A-Tier transfer handles the saturated jungle color palette well.

dir. Shinji Higuchi, Hideaki Anno

The US 4K announcement was massive. People who had just imported the Japanese version without English subs immediately regretted it. The steelbook, standard, and deluxe collector's edition all sold well, with the deluxe being the only version that includes the black and white cut. People kept trying to get Criterion to release it, but the existing editions already cover every angle. Top 4 Godzilla films in 4K is now possible with this, Godzilla (1954), Godzilla Minus One, and the Legendary MonsterVerse entries.

Toho · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Martin Scorsese

Paramount's A-Tier 4K is frequently one of the first discs new OLED owners buy. The $10.99 Paramount combo releases in DVD-sized cases generated heated debate because they strip special features and feel cheap, but at that price people grabbed them anyway. Scorsese citing I Walked with a Zombie as a major influence on this film is the kind of deep-cut connection that Criterion collectors appreciate. The steelbook is a frequent haul photo staple.

Paramount Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Denis Villeneuve

Consistently called reference quality. The Dolby Atmos sound design gets specific praise, with the border tunnel sequence being the demo moment everyone mentions. Every Villeneuve film in 4K is considered excellent, and Sicario might be the best example. The Best Buy steelbook vs. Target steelbook debate has been going for years, with opinions split roughly evenly. Often found for $5 USD in Walmart bins, which might be the best value in all of 4K collecting.

A-Tier 4K Spectre disc with the usual Sony Bond treatment. The opening Day of the Dead tracking shot benefits from the extra resolution, though some people have run into playback issues on older machines.

dir. Jon Watts

Sony A-Tier 4K with a 3.0 score. The Holland MCU Spider-Man films are upscaled rather than native 4K, which puts them a step behind the Raimi trilogy and the Amazing films on a technical level. The steelbook market is active but the artwork hasn't won many fans.

Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Jon Watts

Sony A-Tier 4K. The Raimi trilogy and Amazing films are native 4K masters, while the Tom Holland films are upscaled. That gap shows, and collectors who've compared them side by side tend to prefer the older films on a purely visual level. The Legacy Collection steelbook set surfaces at used shops occasionally.

Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. M. Night Shyamalan

Universal A-Tier 4K. McAvoy's performance is the reason people own this. The 4K steelbook pairs nicely with Unbreakable and Glass for the trilogy shelf, and collectors who own all three tend to admit Glass is the weak link. The 3.5 score reflects an early Universal disc that's fine but not a showpiece.

Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Tom McCarthy

Shout Factory A-Tier 4K. The Boston Globe journalism film that won Best Picture. Shout Factory picked this up and the signal is thin, which tracks for a drama that's more about the writing than the visuals. If you care about the film it's worth owning, but it's not a transfer that's going to sell anyone on the format.

Shout! Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. J.J. Abrams

Disney A-Tier 4K. The Force Awakens was shot on film, which gives it a leg up over the prequels in 4K. Collectors have been hoping for Dolby Vision and IMAX enhanced versions, but so far it's HDR10 only. The Zavvi steelbook series across all nine episodes has been popular with completionists.

Walt Disney Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Rian Johnson

Disney A-Tier 4K. Rian Johnson's Star Wars entry is the most divisive film in the franchise, and the steelbook market reflects that split. The people who love it really love it. The Zavvi exclusive steelbook drew some criticism for cropping the iconic Crait poster art, but most buyers were happy.

Walt Disney Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. J.J. Abrams

Disney A-Tier 4K. Rise of Skywalker has become the poster child for "bad movie, good steelbook." The Best Buy and Zavvi exclusives both looked sharp, and collectors who completed the saga set grabbed this regardless of feelings about the film. The disc itself is a competent Disney transfer.

Shameless Films has a Collector's Edition 4K out March 30. Argento supervised the color timing, Dolby Vision, six hours of extras, serial numbered. Already sold out at Rare Waves. The problem is that Synapse had the cinematographer supervise their transfer and Argento has a different idea of what his film should look like. Worth waiting for comparison shots before buying it twice.

A-Tier 4K. The big question is whether the IMAX sequences from Catching Fire will ever make it onto a 4K disc. The current release doesn't include them, and the arena reveal is one of the best uses of the IMAX format. A new box set with Dolby Vision across all films showed up on Amazon France.

dir. Phil Lord, Christopher Miller

Warner put this out early in the 4K format's life, March 2016, and it's still A-Tier. The resolution bump over the Blu-ray is modest since the film was rendered at 2K, but the HDR is where it earns the rating. Colors pop in a way the standard Blu-ray never did.
