Detail is stunning on this first entry, from the gritty, grimy tombs to the jungle foliage, the busy marketplaces and desert landscapes. Ford's unshaven often pretty damn sweaty look, perfectly shaped hat and weathered clothing are all wondrously observed, along with the richly textured sets and locations, Tunisia standing out. The intricacy and design of some of them is exceptionally well realised here, as veritable grains of sand come to the fore.

Do yourself a favor and make sure your TV is set to movie mode instead of Dynamic or Sports, otherwise, the colors may be too exaggerated. It would seem most directors would like their films shown in as realistic colors as possible. include 2160p/Dolby Vision video and Dolby Atmos audio. No new supplements are included.

Look at the sunny Here is a review of the debut film in the franchise that catapulted the movie hero Indiana Jones into film history. The story introduced the world to Harrison Ford's inimitable Indiana Jones, a college professor who moonlights as a tomb-raiding archaeologist, and who crosses paths with some Nazis in a race to find the potentially all-powerful Ark of the Covenant. Initially coming from just a sketch of scenes by Lucas and Spielberg, who had no script to tie them together, the end result is indeed a succession of memorable set pieces - not least the fabulous opening sequence, which has to be one of the greatest scenes of all time. But it's also a whole lot more. For this 4k presentation, some of the visual effects were brought up to contemporary standards, so this movie looks as good as it can possibly look on a 4k UHD TV.

It's a terrific use of the overhead channels that amplifies the audio and adds to the top end where it makes sense, in this case bringing one of the This new Paramount Pictures release comes with both 4K UHD + Blu-ray discs included. SPECIAL FEATURES The English Dolby TrueHD 7.1 channel audio (that converts to Dolby Atmos systems when available) streamed at around 3.5Mbps. The deep horns from John Williams’ music composition sound exceptionally well on a subwoofer. So many elements came together seamlessly to make this a landmark film. The direction is deft and efficient, with all of Spielberg’s trademark style and flair in evidence, but with little in the way of overindulgence. The pacing is brisk, but not too brisk—not modern, but definitely a new gear for action-adventure films of the period. The cast is perfect across the board, with Harrison Ford coming fully into his own here. He carries the story with an effortlessness that belays how hard he’s actually working. The stunt work is superb, the set pieces are satisfying, the costuming and period production design are pitch perfect. The script is wry, funny, and honest by turns, and always engaging. There are certainly some cultural depictions of their time, but then that’s how creative works are. Still the film has aged beautifully. And John Williams’ iconic score—arguably his best work apart from Star Wars—lends everything a certain kind of magic, gravitas, and energy... and even a bit of whimsy. This is an unquestionably great film, and one that’s withstood the test of time.
