Almost Famous still hits, and this 4K UHD looks fantastic with Dolby Vision that keeps the film grain natural and boosts detail, color, and contrast. Sound stays on the legacy DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track, which works well, even if it is not upgraded to anything like Dolby Atmos.

The Core is a fun, loud disaster thriller, and the 4K UHD disc mostly sticks the landing. The video looks only “okay” at times, with grain and processing that can be uneven, so the upgrade feels small and inconsistent compared to the Blu-ray. The audio is the strong point, with a solid DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix that has plenty of surround and low-end.

The Italian Job (2003) looks like a real upgrade on this 4K UHD disc, with Dolby Vision that gives more lifelike colors and deeper blacks. The picture quality is solid but not perfect, with some grain that can look a bit inconsistent from scene to scene. Sound is the real win, since the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 upgrade is clearer, fuller, and more immersive even without Atmos. Overall, it is a wort...

Spaceballs delivers big laughs, and the 4K UHD disc looks really great. Video is sharp with rich color and strong depth, though a few darker moments have minor density fluctuations and shadow detail is a little soft in places. The lossless 5.1 audio is solid and well-separated with clear dialogue, though the mix can feel a bit exaggerated at times. Overall, this is the best home video presentation...

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows has a pretty fun, punchy vibe, even if it feels a bit more diffused than the first one. On the 4K UHD disc, the picture looks great overall, with excellent fine detail and nice HDR highlights, even though the image can look a little tweaked and gritty. The sound is strong too, with an active DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix that really moves around the room. Overall i...

Sherlock Holmes is a fun, fast-paced take on the character with great production design and generally solid performances. On the 4K UHD disc, the picture looks great with noticeably improved detail, though it can be pretty dark and gritty with some visible grain. The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track sounds strong with clear dialogue, solid surround activity, and good low-end support. No extras on the...

Punch-Drunk Love is an offbeat dark romantic comedy that lands its emotional punches fast, even if it is not for everyone. The 4K UHD transfer looks near-perfect, with great detail, solid blacks, and colors that really pop. The Dolby Atmos track is quiet most of the time, then gets intense with convincing surround activity and strong low-end during the big moments, so it sounds better than ever.

Sleepless in Seattle is a bit of a mixed bag on the 4K disc. The Atmos track is solid, with clear dialogue and lively, dynamic sound, but the picture lands on the darker side and can look dim and less vibrant than you want for a rom-com. Detail is still pretty good, with clean edge work and no obvious artifacts, but faces can skew a little oversaturated. Overall, it mostly delivers if you care mor...

X-Men: First Class looks pretty sharp on the 4K UHD disc, with nice color gradations and HDR, but it does not fully pop since the transfer is often a bit dark and has noisy-looking grain. There are also occasional issues like brief focus problems and slight judder in some pans or tracking shots. Audio comes through strong for a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track, so it sounds solid even if the picture ...

Underworld: Awakening on 4K UHD is a slick, entertaining action-horror entry that still feels fun to watch. The picture is an excellent HDR upgrade, with better black depth, sharper whites, and stronger pop in colors like flames and blood, while overall detail gains are more refinement than overhaul. The audio is the real standout, with Dolby Atmos that delivers loud, well-defined surround effects...
