A-Tier 4K. The Danny Boyle sequel got a strong steelbook release, and the visual callbacks to Dawn of the Dead are all over the film. Better on disc than the streaming version let on.
Heroin addict Mark Renton stumbles through bad ideas and sobriety attempts with his unreliable friends --Sick Boy, Begbie, Spud and Tommy. He also has an underage girlfriend, Diane, along for the ride. After cleaning up and moving from Edinburgh to London, Mark finds he can't escape the life he left behind as Begbie and Sick Boy come knocking.

No 4K scan exists for this one because it was shot on standard definition digital video. The upcoming Sony steelbook is an upscale from 480p source material. The current Blu-ray already looks rough, and the hope is that Sony's upscaling and HDR grading can at least make it watchable. The Raid pulled off a similar trick with low-res source and turned out well.
