Nice steel fo a classic in 4K.
This is the best the film will look for a long time, and whether you agree with some changes or not, I think overall the 4K is a rousing success. A few fixes here and there on mattes and effects, new much needed sound mixing, and overall Indy has never fared better on home video. Some might note a few small issues with compression or quality in fixes, but really you have to be looking for them, and for the most part this a careful restoration more like Blade Runner's The Final Cut than anything else.Raiders looks superbly detailed, with a strong HDR presentation. Colors and shadows pop like never before. It's truly like seeing it for the first time on an OLED. Theaters obviously never quite saw it like this. HDR might even be too bright for some so tune it how you want. Outside of that they did a tremendous job on the sound. It no longer sounds hokey and panned and terribly mixed. The Atmos is beautiful, and the score resounds with good dynamics and much improved sound effects at least in parts. They still kept some of the cartoony bullet effects, but I think that was on purpose to keep the vibe of the serial nature in this series.So with a pretty good to perfect transfer, you can't go wrong here. Get them before they are gone. These steels are well worth it. There were more than a few damaged Raiders at Amazon, so be aware.

Major Upgrade over the Blu-Ray. But rather uneven in restoration and application of HDR.
Unlike other films from the ERA that have undergone more extensive restoration (like Blade Runner and 2001 A Space Odessey), this 4K version sometimes shines, but often disappoints. It's edgy when it looks sharp (annoyingly so), but more often than not looks a bit less than sharp than I was hoping. And loss of depth of field in shots that are not close-ups...some very glaring. It's just seems like it's a BEST EFFORT in cobbling together bits and pieces of the film. Some pieces look great, others not so great. Too many not so great. The color seems oversaturated in darker scenes, but fine in brigher scenes. HDR can be evil or can wonderful. Here it is quite uneven. One thing is for sure, it's a major upgrade over the even more disappointing Blu-Ray.
