A-Tier

A-Tier 20th Century Studios 4K. Will Smith blows up aliens on the Fourth of July. This was one of the earlier 4K releases back in 2016, so the scan shows its age compared to newer remasters. Steelbooks still move for decent money secondhand, which says something about the film's staying power with collectors.
