    Solid list.
    Like seeing "Passengers" on here. A movie for which the "hot take" became the overriding reaction. Yes, it's ending is too neat for the complex moral questions thrown up by its story (though not nearly as egregiously as you might have heard, folks), but it's a handsomely mounted sci-fi drama, with two engaging leads, and a reasonably original concept. One that works pretty well in general.
    I only saw it in theatres, but I think I'll seek out the 4K disc on this recommendation.

The quality of the 4k transfer ( this is a somewhat old movie), it looks like being shot yesterday with an outstanding level of quality in term of details and colors. Same for the Dolby Atmos soundtrack. What a sound firework at any level. And what to say about the scenario, the filming and this huge Vangelis musical score.

    Omitting the sci-fi 4K disc of all sci-fi 4K discs, the original Blade Runner, is straight up outrageous. That and 2001 are pretty much universally regarded as the two best science fiction 4Ks on the market. You could have put both Blade Runners. It is one of the top 10 4Ks of any genre, period. It's certainly much better than Lynch's Dune, and you had that on here twice. If you look at other reviews for it, everyone says the same that it is just astonishing and one of the best 4Ks available. It is one of the best looking movies ever shot, and it is one of the best restorations ever done. It also includes every single cut of the movie. I don't know if there is any other 4K collectors that would recommend Dune over Blade Runner on 4K, that is just plain silly.

    My list: (I'm too torn on this to number them)
    Blade Runner - this movie looks like it got all the love it deserves
    Blade Runner 2049 (just incredible in UHD)
    Alien (next-level remaster)
    Close Encounters of the Third Kind (unreal film grain character)
    Tenet (smoothest grain structure ever)
    Ad Astra (next level OLED experience)
    2001: A Space Odyssey (let's be honest this is probably number one)
    Dune (2021) (Can Villeneuve do no wrong?)
    Gattaca - extremely surprising restoration and beautiful on HDR
    Total Recall (the most surprising one, I assumed the quality of film stock in that era would be sub-par but the grain field of Total Recall is mesmerizing)
    Honorable mention: Interstellar, only because I find the changing aspect ratios not very appealing, but still, the film is gorgeous

    I didn't really care about 4k until I got a digital projector with a 12ft screen. When the tv size is below 65, I really can't tell the difference. I watched the Alien 4k restored version and that movie never looked better. Bram Stoker's Dracula looked great also. I'm a big admirer of filmmaking craft, from the cinematography to music and looking at beautifully restored movies is a really good way to enjoy that.

Pioneer Elite Kuro plasma TV , Marantz 8000 Tuner Amp with the high end Polk LSI center , Towers and rear Dipoles speakers. The other Movie that was a Huge upgrade with great Packaging is "Wild Things" . Love all your reviews .......

    The Last Countdown was more a US Navy recruitment movie (I was serving in the Navy when it came out and was stationed at Great Lakes in training so everyone in the theater got a big kick from the chief saying he knew the code he was hearing) then a serious SciFi movie. The great cast made it watchable but I haven't seen the 4K version so it will be on my list.

    When you mentioned Flash Gordon, I knew you could be trusted. It would have been nice if you had mentioned how they were finally able to capture the wild palette, but “like Pitch Black” sort of captures that sentiment.
    You could probably say similar about The Matrix, as the palette was severely hampered until HDR became a reality. It was interesting to find that the movie wasn’t painted green, but that it was loaded with green sets, which were clearly visible in HDR.
