Editor's Notes

Note

Sony A-Tier 4K. Verhoeven's satirical military sci-fi gets a real workout in HDR, especially the bug battle sequences where the dust and plasma colors have space to breathe. The 25th anniversary DV steelbook was limited to the US, which frustrated international collectors. The film continues to get reappraised as satire rather than straight action.
