The 4K is a real upgrade over the Blu-ray, which had noticeable sharpening and DNR issues. The IMAX sequences are some of the sharpest footage you'll see on the format, and the 35mm scenes are a solid improvement too. Batman Begins is the disappointing one on 4K, but Dark Knight and Rises both look great. The trilogy steelbook set has been through multiple exclusive editions and the artwork reveals always get a lot of attention.

Warner 4K. Nolan's remake of the 1997 Norwegian thriller with Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hilary Swank. Often overlooked between Memento and Batman Begins, and the Alaska photography benefits from HDR in the perpetual daylight sequences. Collectors who buy the Dark Knight trilogy usually pick this up to complete the early Nolan set.

Umbrella Entertainment announced a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative and collector demand was immediate. This has been the most requested Nolan 4K for years. The Kimchi steelbook of the existing Blu-ray already trades at collector prices, so expect the 4K to move fast when it drops.
