Take the above comparison screengrabs for example but with a huge grain of salt: the top from the 4K Ultra HD disc and the bottom from the 30th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition. Although both pictures were taken directly from the discs on a professionally calibrated system, seeing the images at their full HDR/WCG potential will depend on the capabilities of each viewer's screen. Nevertheless, the two images allow for just enough visible information to reflect the experience at home and be able to note the difference in contrast and the improvement in the overall color palette and timing. The scene starting at 1:27:16 (1:27:12 on the 2016 BD) is also inherent to the original design, not a sync issue unique to the Atmos mix. While Stinger is briefing the pilots of the "crisis situation" in a full shot, his lip movement does not perfectly match the dialogue, very likely due to poor ADR work, not a failure in the transfer or the codec. This can also be seen and heard in its DTS-HD/Dolby TrueHD counterpart, but it's not as noticeable. The possible reason for why it is more apparent now is due to the higher resolution levels and our relative distance to the character as he speaks; we can better now see James Tolkan's lip movement than in previous video editions. English Dolby Atmos, French-Parisian, Portuguese-Brazilian, Spanish-Latin American Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround, Japanese TV Tokyo – Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Surround, Japanese Fuiji TV – Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono The Dolby Vision HDR presentation also boasts a remarkable array of full-bodied and vibrant colors. While primaries, like the animated reds in the patches and the energetic blues of monitors, are sumptuous and fuller throughout, the secondary hues continuously bathe the visuals with life and warmth, supplying the many aerial shots of the sky with vivid reddish oranges, warm golden yellows and light hints of violet that bleed into lovely cerulean blues. Facial complexions also appear more natural with lifelike textures and healthier, photorealistic rosy-peach tones in the entire cast. EXCLUSIVE Masterclass with Tom Cruise (HD, 49 min), originally recorded at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, is a conversation with the actor, his career and this new sequel.

The aspect ratios vary between 2.39:1 and 1.90:1. It seems most of the land-based and non-action scenes are presented in the wider 2.39:1 format, while the airborne scenes all come closer to square IMAX format at 1.90:1. The taller format allows a bigger image that makes the scenes more immersive and closer to the action for the viewer.

Lovely glossy colours and really well chosen pictures to use. The film moments chosen are just a few of the shots that made the audience gasp in the cinema, as you can fully see Mr Cruise is once again, DOING the flying for REAL! The film itself is brilliant and I honestly thought “how can it live up to all the hype?!” Trust me, it does! There’s a reason it’s now amoung the ranks of highest grossing movies ever, it brought a lot of joy to people during the pandemic and especially those 80s kids like me who grew up loving the original! Even if not a big fan of the first movie, I’d put money on the fact you’ll enjoy this one more. Fantastic looking steelbook which looks even better next to the first ones equally beautiful 4K steelbook! I actually prefer the colours used on the Zavvi exclusive over other releases. Grab one if you get the chance! Much of the character-driven drama takes priority with precise, clear dialogue that remains that way above the commotion, allowing audiences to enjoy every emotional moment and hear every inflection in each of the performances. Impressively, those quieter, dialogue-heavy sequences are nonetheless layered with the commotion of people chattering all around in Penny's bar, or the busy commotion of military activity can be heard in the distance and from above while at school. Other such scenes taking place indoors even have a natural light echoing effect from the characters talking to each other. Imaging continuously feels broad and spacious with an exceptional sense of presence, as an assortment of noises fluidly travels between the three channels and into the front heights, creating a highly-engaging half-dome wall of sound that's sustained to the very end. At the same, an outstanding mid-range exhibits superb detailing and distinction in the upper frequencies during the loudest segments while the score delivers striking definition in the orchestration with warmth and amazing fidelity while bleeding all around.

Pricing for the 4K SteelBook Superfan Collection has not been confirmed yet, but considering the humongous amount of features and memorabilia included in the set, one can surmise it’ll be quite a chunk of change. A much shorter version of this was featured on The Late Late Show with James Corden. It’s certainly entertaining, so while it doesn’t make or break these extras, it’s nice to have. But an audio commentary is something this film really deserves, and one would hope that a future release might include it.English, English SDH†, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French-Parisian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese-Brazilian, Spanish-Latin American, Swedish The new one looks great, naturally. It was filmed in the modern digital era, so a 4k release was always on the table. I never saw it in the theaters, so I can't say if this was the original way of things... but all the fighter plan sequences are in 16:9 and the rest of the film is in 2.35:1. I found this somewhat distracting, and I really don't know exactly why they made this choice. Cleared for Take Off– Essentially we see all the work that went into the training and preparation to make this one of the most, if not the most, realistic movie experience out there. Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. I'm not going to review the movies here. Someone else has already done that, I imagine. I'm only commenting on the 4K experience.

Unlike 'Monthly Mystery Boxes' where the contents are always supposed to be theoretically more than the cost of the box, the same can't be said for Blu-ray Collector's Editions and this is no exception. Finally, it must be said that these are the best scenes of flying ever captured on film. The tour de force climax of the movie leaves viewers emotionally exhausted with giant grins and cheering for more. It ranks up there with the best action sequences in all of film.
