Indiana jones 4k2/10/2024 Along with a fine layer of natural grain and velvety, midnight shadows that never overwhelm the smaller details in the darkest corners, the native 4K transfer looks very cinematic with appreciable three-dimensionality quality.Īn exceptional contrast balance yields a great deal of energy to the visuals with brilliant, radiant whites. Brightness levels are markedly improved, showering the 2.35:1 image with inky, silky blacks that penetrate deep into the background. The few softer sequences are related to the CG effects but hold up decently well, all things considered. The fine lines in the ancient temple, the individual hairs and the leaves of the foliage are discrete and striking while the background objects and information are plainer to make out from a distance. Overall definition enjoys a notable uptick with cleaner and more distinct details in the costumes, stage production and the various vehicles. Predictably, the strongest and best looking of the bunch is also the newest installment with an outstanding, demo-worthy HEVC encode that also comes from a fresh remaster of the OCN. The SteelBook packaging replicates the original theatrical poster artwork. Pressed on a BD100 disc, this is the exact same disc as before. Indiana Jones chugs down some Geritol and suits up for his first adventure in over twenty years with the 1950s Soviet/Alien-themed Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with a new single-disc 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray + Digital SteelBook from Paramount. Vital Disc Stats: The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Flawed as it may be, a little kooky and even goofy, the movie is ultimately good, silly fun without tarnishing Indy's legacy. And it does so rather spectacularly, nicely capturing the general quality of pulp science fiction mixed with a great deal of humor. To be completely honest, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull falls perfectly in line withing the franchise's theme as an homage to the classical Hollywood style, and this third sequel just happens to blend the low-budget matinee genre with the feel of a 1950s sci-fi B-movie. Admittedly, the whole monkeys swinging through the jungle with LaBeouf remains pretty lame, but it's really not any crazier than a Nazi-saluting monkey, eating chilled monkey brains for dessert or Marcus Brody monkeying around in general. Part of the joy in watching these adventures is the escapist fun of hunting ancient artifacts with wildly mystical superstitions and supernatural powers, packed with the thrilling excitement that comes from that journey. But to be completely fair, criticizing the production for these elements is also rather undeserving in a beloved franchise that openly blends the action-adventure genre with heavy doses of fantasy, the occult and homages to B-movies serials. Even after reading that out loud, it really feels as though Spielberg and Lucas severely dropped the ball here, to use a phrase uttered by Shia LaBeouf as Indy's rebel son Mutt Williams. Then, there is some silly nonsense about backstabbing double agents while Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) from the first movie suddenly returns to brighten the screen. And at first glance, the fourth installment is a hodgepodge involving aliens, communists, a Marlon Brando wannabe, swinging monkeys, and a lead-lined refrigerator capable of surviving a nuclear blast.
