Die Hard [4K Ultra-HD + Blu-ray] [1988]

Product Information

How dumb can Disney be to not invest in their catalog which already exists and has many beloved movies that can earn them money if the product is well made. A new 4k file could then also be used for streaming/VOD services as well so double as much use and profit.

The holiday action classic rides to the top floor of the 4K Ultra HD tower with an excellent HEVC H.265 encode, offering devoted loyal fans a noteworthy improvement over its Blu-ray counterpart. The movie hasn't had the best history on home video, but this new 4K remaster is undoubtedly the finest and most beautiful it has ever looked. This UHD version straps a chair of C-4 to previous editions and blows them away in a massive explosion!It’s easy to forget now that, until he popped up on movie screens in Blind Date (1987), people knew Bruce Willis exclusively as David Addison from the TV series Moonlighting. At the time, Willis was charming, funny, and only just starting to go bald. It was easy then for critics to dismiss him as a one-note actor, but he soon proved himself a talented performer. Take a look at Willis in Twelve Monkeys, Pulp Fiction, The Sixth Sense, In Country, and yes... Die Hard. You’ll see an actor who can grab your attention and run with it.

And there are plenty of other characters and mini-stories to keep your interest when McClane is off-screen. From Reginald VelJohnson’s Sgt. Powell, William Atherton’s sleezebag journalist Richard Thonberg, Paul Gleason’s Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson or Bonnie Bedelia’s tough Holly Gennaro, it's a terrifically acted film. Today I read on The Digital Bits that Disney apparently has decided that they will no longer release 4k discs of their catalog titles ! They bought Fox but apparently only for the Marvel/Star Wars/Avatar titles for the rest to be put away forever without getting any proper restoration treatment whatsoever !

The transfers here are identical to the previous releases, which range from decent, but could benefit from a remaster—the first three films—to of sorts for some viewers, but whether you're watching in late spring or the dark days of winter, Die Hard still manages to provide a My guileless side really doesn't understand this new Die Hard: 25th Anniversary Blu-ray Collection.

release announcing this version stated it was an "all-new 4K Ultra HD™ re-master", and the results are consistently impressive in terms of upgraded Die Hard was shot on 35 mm film using Panavision cameras and anamorphic lenses, save for limited effects shots which were done in 65 mm. The original camera negative has been scanned in native 4K, graded for high dynamic range (in HDR10) and it’s presented on Ultra HD at the proper 2.39:1 theatrical aspect ratio. It’s safe to say that this image has never looked better. Fine detail and texturing are excellent, though with the usual amount of anamorphic softness around the edges of the frame. There’s a steady wash of light-moderate grain remaining that gives the image a pleasingly cinematic appearance. The HDR grade is restrained, but deepens the shadows nicely while giving highlights, police lights, gunfire, and explosions a nice bright gleam. Colors are natural but slightly restrained, consistent with this film’s unique character and overall look, yet they pop when necessary and show much more nuance than ever before. This is a dark film by nature, so the transfer doesn’t quite have the showiness of the best 4K presentations on this format, but it’s certainly reference quality for this particular film. Fans should be quite pleased with the image here. For the week that ended on June 9th, Twentieth Century Fox's A Good Day to Die Hard took the top sales position on the Blu-ray-only chart. This fifth installment in the Die Hard franchise was the series' most critically lambasted entry, though it still performed ...Hans Gruber's famous fall, the ejector seat in the second film, the tunnel flood in Vengeance, and the flipping cars in Live Free or Die Hard—fair enough—so they'll doubtlessly release a comprehensive, remastered collection sometime in the not-so-distant future, perhaps with a The live action movie Mulan, which they are going to make available on VOD, cost them 250+ million in production costs and marketing they already did so that will be a BIG dent in their profits by the end of the fiscal year, that's gotta hurt no doubt !

Bruce Willis stars as John McClane, a New York City police detective in a series of action films where he finds himself fighting a group of terrorists in each installment. See individual titles for their specific synopses. Very impressive is the image of John McLain in the performance of Bruce Willis, a typical middle-aged policeman who is faithful to his work and with a smile on his lips kills one by one of the terrorist. It was after this film Ultra HD that the fashion for charismatic policemen went to save the world, while at the same time throwing jokes at their rivals. Mending himself after every encounter, surviving by the skin of his teeth (or the soles of his feet), it's made clear McClane isn't completely bulletproof. Emotionally, he's not in the best place either, due to his strained long-distance marriage.
