We love 4K Blu-ray here at TechRadar.

The LG G5 , one of 2025s best OLED TVs , will be the display, and the Panasonic DP-UB820 , the best 4K Blu-ray player on the market, will be the player. The Samsung HW-Q990C , an 11.1.4 channel Dolby Atmos soundbar system, will be used for testing these discs soundtracks.

As always, I wont be reviewing these discs based on the movies themselves: just their picture and audio quality and how they can be a good match for
your home theater system. Wicked: For Good (Universal Pictures) Image 1 of 3 (Image credit: Universal Pictures / Future ) (Image credit: Universal
Pictures / Future ) (Image credit: Future) The sequel to the blockbuster musical Wicked , Wicked: For Good, is the conclusion to the story of Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now known by Oz as the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda (Ariana Grande), now known as Glinda the Good Witch.

So colorful and vibrant was the original Wicked 4K Blu-ray that it became one of my regular discs for testing TVs. Visually, Wicked: For Good ticks all the same boxes as the original. From the multi-colored flowers outside Munchkinland to the greens of the Emerald City, colors are bold and vibrant, especially with Dolby Vision. They pack plenty of punch throughout, while looking both true-to-life and nicely saturated to suit the movie.

There are also plenty of high-contrast scenes throughout that will show off your displays contrast, notably the ones where Elphaba sits in the woods, which are somehow always at sunset. This creates strong shadows with nice highlights that look great on the G5. Textures are crisp, and theres plenty
of refined detail throughout as well.

Theres plenty to like about the Dolby Atmos soundtrack, too. Musical numbers are delivered with plenty of scope, space and power, giving vocals and instruments equal room to breathe. But theres plenty of non-musical elements to test your sound system too. Elphabas many broom flights are mapped wonderfully to a surround system, delivering a wide soundstage with plenty of height effects as she soars overhead. As she swoops by, theres punchy bass too. This disc is an audio showcase as much as it is a visual one. Today's best Wicked: For Good 4K Blu-ray deals 24.99 View 24.99 View We check over

Stephen King's novel of the same name. It follows Ben Richards (Glenn Powell) as he takes part in a deadly reality show. This version is directed by Edgar Wright (of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz fame).

The Running Man looks great visually. It has a slick presentation as
expected from a modern movie with sharp and realistic textures, but I was surprised to see a good amount of film grain featured, giving the movie an interesting look. With the movies futuristic setting, there are some punchy colors via the neon signs and various monitors throughout. Night scenes also deliver strong contrast, with deep blacks mixed with bright lights that look great in Dolby Vision.

The movies Dolby Atmos soundtrack is consistently strong throughout, with bullets, punches and explosions all delivering meaty bass thats also nicely controlled: perfect for showing off a subwoofer. It also uses every part of its soundstage during car chase sequences and gunfights, each effect
delivered with detail and precision. Height channels are used to great
effect, too, with the networks drones and helicopters following Richards throughout the movie. Today's best The Running Man (2025) 4K Blu-ray deals 24.99 View 24.99 View 27.99 View Show more We check over 250 million products every day for the best prices 3:10 To Yuma (1957) (Criterion Collection)
Image 1 of 3 (Image credit: Criterion Collection / Future ) (Image credit: Criterion Collection / Future ) (Image credit: Future) A classic Western,
3:10 To Yuma (1957) tells the story of a rancher named Dan Evans (Van Heflin) who takes on a job to escort an outlaw named Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) to his trial in Yuma, Arizona. The movie was remade in 2007, starring Russell Crowe as Wade and Christian Bale as Evans.

Ive praised what 4K restorations can do for older movies for some time now, and Criterions restoration of 3:10 To Yuma is no different: its superb. Textures have been beautifully cleaned up every weather-beaten wrinkle on peoples faces is fully restored and looking almost modern. The movie is in black and white, and dark tones are deep while white tones are bright, with a full range of gray tones in between. Cinephiles will be happy with the amount of film grain retained, though its more obvious in the movie's exterior scenes.

There are two soundtrack options: monaural and DTS-HD MA 5.1. For purists,
the monaural soundtrack has been nicely cleaned up, with clear speech and detailed effects. But the DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack really shines here. Theres solid bass from the rumble of galloping horses, good surround details during gunfights with ricocheting bullets, and even a wide soundstage, letting the soundtrack breathe. Speech is also crystal clear.

(Image credit: Criterion Collection / Future ) (Image credit: Future) One of the 1980s' most iconic movies from John Hughes, The Breakfast Club is a coming-of-age comedy-drama that tells the story of five teenagers from distinctly different social cliques, all brought in for the same Saturday detention. The film stars Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Michael C. Hall,
Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy.

The Breakfast Club is another example of a great 4K restoration from Criterion Collection. Colors have some really nice pop throughout, especially in the glossy Coca-Cola cans everyone has at lunch. The bright yellow and red lockers look both punchy and realistic. Textures are nicely restored, with close-up shots of the main characters showing details like stubble and
creases in full detail. Cinephiles will love the amount of film grain here, too.

While The Breakfast Club isnt the audio showcase of an action blockbuster, both its monaural and DTS-HD 5.1 MA soundtracks are very good. The DTS-HD 5.1 MA in particular delivers clear speech and precise sound effects, such as the exaggerated squeaking of Benders leather boots or the biting of Allisons nails. The movies 80s-centric soundtrack also sounds great, with the powerful punch of synths and drums you want from iconic tracks like Simple Minds Dont You Forget About Me .

The movie also stars Frances McDormand, Scarlett Johansson, Michael Badalucco,
and more.

The Man Who Wasnt There looks fantastic in 4K. Presented in black and white, theres a great balance between light and dark tones, with a full range of grays. There are tons of excellent high-contrast scenes throughout, with deep blacks casting strong shadows and balancing with bright highlights. Textures have been cleaned up, with close-up shots showing peoples wrinkles and facial marks with refined detail, while skin appears true-to-life throughout. Theres some nice film grain, too.

The DTS-HD 5.0 surround soundtrack is very clear and refined. Cranes
voiceover is perfectly rendered with good clarity throughout the movie. More subtle sound effects are well presented, too. An unsettling wind, the whir of the clippers in the barber chair, or footsteps in echo-y halls are all well-defined and authentic.

with Cutter convinced that Bone is a witness.

Cutters Way is another example of a top-notch 4K restoration. Textures have been refined and look detailed and authentic. Peoples skin and the textures
in clothing are all true-to-life and look more modern than the 1981
production would suggest. Colors are vibrant throughout, with reds and greens in particular looking punchy. Contrast during night scenes is also strong,
and theres a lot of film grain here for cinephiles, but it doesnt hamper the picture.

This 4K disc only offers a mono soundtrack, but it sounds clear, with speech and other effects still given enough room to breathe and delivered with good clarity. For those looking for something truly unique, theres also an
isolated score track option, which cuts out all audio other than the score, even during parts of the movie where there's no score. It makes for an interesting watch, and the score itself is bright, loud and detailed if you choose this experience.
