Sam Mendes movies available on 4K Blu-ray, ranked by transfer quality.
dir. Sam Mendes
S-Tier Universal 4K with a perfect 5.0 specs score. Roger Deakins' cinematography in HDR is the reason to own this, and the one-take illusion works even better at home where you can study the transitions.
Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray
A-Tier Universal 4K. Sam Mendes' Gulf War film with Jake Gyllenhaal, and Roger Deakins shot it, so the HDR upgrade actually matters here. The 20th anniversary steelbook art is lazy. GRUV has also had trouble getting copies to people on time.
Collector Instagram is full of this one right now. The 4K transfer was already well-regarded and the steelbook packaging turns up in almost every Bond collection photo.
MGM · 4K + Blu-ray
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.
