Speed Racer looks astounding on 4K Blu-ray. Where it really shines is in its color reproduction. Colors are bold, vibrant and punchy throughout, taking on an almost neon-like level of saturation, which perfectly suits the movie. Whether its the pulsing lights of the racetrack or the 1960s-inspired
clothing and decor of the neighborhood, the colors seriously pop on screen.
On the LG G5 I used, there was a gorgeous depth and richness to said colors.
Black tones during night races are inky, textures are incredibly crisp, especially in people's skin and hair, and even the cartoon-ish CGI of the crowd and cars on the track is slick and sharp. The disc also really pushes the boundaries on motion, with the swerving cars and constantly changing camera angles serving as a showcase for your displays motion handling.
Sound-wise, this is a seriously impressive disc. The Dolby Atmos soundtrack
is lively, engaging and ridiculously detailed. During the opening race, the bass of the Mach 5s was powerful but tightly controlled, and the hum of passing engines through the wind was crystal clear through the HW-Q990Cs rear speakers.

worth adding your collection Here are the 4 4K Blu-rays I'm most excited for in April 2026
Theres ample room in the Atmos mix too, giving every element a chance to breathe. The mapping of sound is impressive too. As Speed grinds his car on the edge of the track in the opening race, I heard the movement of this through the left rear channel clear as day, despite all the bass from the subwoofer, and the speech and other effects through the front channels.

The disc has a DTS-HD 5.1 MA soundtrack that sounds superb. While Elvis narration, made of clips from interviews, is clear, as is the audio of the behind-the-scenes, in-studio sessions, its the live performances on stage
that sound excellent. The drums are punchy but beautifully intricate, giving the subwoofer a real workout. Elvis vocals are powerful, detailed and delivered with real clarity. The bass is refined and clearly audible and guitars are bright and clean. This is a perfectly balanced mix that sounds excellent, regardless of track. Highlights include Polk Salad Annie and Burning Love.
While visuals arent the main feature of this disc, the restored footage looks brilliant. Textures are smooth and crisp, as close-up shots of Elvis face
will even pick out his stubble. Colors are bold and bright, perfectly capturing Elvis flashy on-stage costumes and his often colorful offstage outfits . Theres a nice punchy brightness to the disc as well, with
highlights on bejewelled, sequin-encrusted costumes really glinting on
screen. Naturally, theres some film grain present from the camera used in the footage, but most shots have been cleanly restored. Today's best EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert 4K Blu-ray deals 24.99 View 24.99 View 26.55 View Show

friends who flee Hong Kong after murdering a member of a rival gang. They become smugglers in Saigon, Vietnam, during the height of the Vietnam War in 1967. The movie stars Tony Leung, Jacky Cheung and Waise Lee.
Visually, this is a solid restoration from Arrow. While the movie still has the grainy, sometimes hazy look youd expect of early-90s Hong Kong Cinema, textures have been cleaned up well, especially in skin and faces, with more intricate detail such as hair looking refined. Colors can appear bold,
whether it's the red of Bens t-shirt or the brightly colored buildings in Saigon. Black levels are deep during night-time scenes and there is some nice contrast during scenes in the market or when the trio are at the Bolero club in Saigon.
There are three soundtrack options with this disc: Cantonese Mono and Dolby Atmos and English Mono. The Atmos soundtrack is a more spacious extension of the mono, but it does add more volume and depth to the audio. Speech is clearer in the Atmos mix and other sounds, such as punches and crashes during fight scenes, have more impact. Gunshots in shootouts have good clarity and while they dont quite utilize the rear channels as Ive heard in other movies, theres still some nice power on display. Bass from explosions is also tightly controlled.

The movie was inspired by the 1944 movie Double Indemnity (which I reviewed for the November 2024 Blu-ray Bounty).
Visually, this is another top-notch restoration job from Criterion. Textures look realistic, particularly in skin and in finer details such as hair. As
the movie has such a sweltering setting, sweat features regularly and really shows off the level of detail present. Colors are punchy, with more intricate objects such as a red matchbook on Neds desk really popping. There are a number of night scenes showing rich black tones, as well as strong shadows cast by bright lights across the character's bodies and faces.
The disc comes with both DTS-HD Stereo and DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround soundtrack options. Opting for the 5.1 surround, speech is clear throughout the movie
and there are some nice details present, such as the chirping of crickets, which come through the rear channels during some night sequences. The other main component of the soundtrack is the dramatic, string-led score which does a good job utilizing the full surround channels.

(Zoe Saldaa) on Pandora, who must now face challenges from an aggressive, new Navi tribe. The movie also stars Sigourney Weaver, Steven Lang and Kate Winslet, with the former two appearing in all three of the current Avatar movies.
Avatar: Fire & Ash is visually impressive. The animation is slick, with
crisp textures and detail such as the Navis braids and skin looking 3D-like. Colors are bold and vibrant, whether its the blue of the Navi themselves or the seas of Pandora and the rich reds of the warpaint of the Mangkwan. Environments are striking, with lush, green trees and fields, with textures
in cliffs and rocks showing intricate detail. Night-time scenes show inky blacks and when fire is added to the mix, it shows the discs' strong
contrast.
The Dolby Atmos mix included here is excellent for showing off a home theater system. Any sequences where creatures such as the Nightwraiths fly overhead delivers impressive height, with their flight paths accurately mapped. Gunshots have real weight to them, especially with automatic weapons,
creating a real thud through both the soundbar and the subwoofer. Speech is clear throughout, even in the most chaotic battle scenes. During these battle scenes, whenever an arrow is fired, its extremely detailed, coming through
the rear channels crystal clear. Like some other modern blockbusters Ive tested, this is a great Atmos soundtrack. Today's best Avatar: Fire & Ash 4K Blu-ray deals 24.99 View 31.99 View 34.99 View We check over 250 million products every day for the best prices Five Easy Pieces (Criterion
Collection) Image 1 of 3 (Image credit: The Criterion Collection / Future ) (Image credit: The Criterion Collection / Future ) (Image credit: Future)
Five Easy Pieces tells the story of Robert Dupea (Jack Nicholson), a piano prodigy turned oil rig worker who returns home to his rich, estranged family and attempts to reconnect upon hearing about his fathers ailing health. The movie also stars Karen Black as Rayette, Roberts girlfriend.
Criterion delivers another great restoration here. Colors really pop on screen, shown in peoples brightly-colored clothing. A scene at the bowling alley near the opening of the movie shows this, with almost every patrons clothing looking vivid. Textures, such as the grime on the oil riggers faces and frown lines in Roberts forehead, look lifelike and detailed. Theres
plenty of film grain present and its more pronounced in some scenes than others (namely outdoor, daytime scenes), so cinephiles will be happy.
For audio, theres only a mono soundtrack present. This wont be an audio showcase for your home theater system, but speech is clear and other effects, such as Robert slamming himself against his car-seat, have some impact. The best part of this audio mix is whenever someone plays the piano, namely the scene where Robert plays Chopins Prelude, Op. 28, No.4, as it sounds bright, clean and detailed. This is a well-restored audio mix.

He then has 36 hours to solve her murder so he can return back to the States.
This is a great restoration from Hammer. Textures have been cleaned-up well, making people and their clothing look incredibly lifelike. Contrast is strong throughout, with deep blacks, punchy whites and a full range of gray tones to create a dynamic image. There is the occasional shot where textures can
appear fuzzy, but it's rare and considering the age of the movie, its surprisingly good-looking throughout. There is grain present, which will please cinephiles, but again theres been a surprisingly thorough clean-up job here.
There are two options for soundtracks here: mono and DTS-HD 5.1 MA. The mono mix is louder and more direct, but the 5.1 mix has a warmer, cleaner sound that fits the tone of the movie. Dialogue is controlled and clean in all
parts of the movie and the melodramatic score is bright and bold, using the rear channels to great effect. Other effects such as gunshots and punches
have some solid impact to them as well. Today's best 36 Hours 4K Blu-ray
