S-Tier

S-Tier Paramount 4K. Crystal Skull is the Indy film nobody loves but everyone buys to complete the set. Paramount released individual steelbooks after the box set, leaving anyone who bought the collection feeling like they'd been double-dipped. The 4K set also had loose discs rattling around inside the case on arrival, which didn't help.

A-Tier

The Spielberg 4K steelbook showed up in a haul this week. The audio track is the real reason collectors want this one, with 'bass you can taste' being the phrase going around.

A-Tier

A-Tier Paramount 4K. Spielberg's sci-fi thriller, and the 4K announcement alongside Catch Me If You Can was one of the biggest Paramount reveals of the year. The Catch Me If You Can artwork was universally panned while Minority Report's was better received. The steelbook inner photo is oddly from a 2009 Empire magazine shoot, not the film itself.

C-Tier

C-Tier Paramount 4K. Spielberg and DiCaprio. Paramount announced this alongside Minority Report. The C-Tier might improve with a future rescan.
