And Paramount’s new 4K disc continues the excellent work of the first film’s release by correcting the awful transfer that has blighted all previous 1080p releases of the film. Without reference back to the previous release, sharpness and fine detail may therefore initially disappoint as its not an inherently razor-sharp film – the initial transition into Sidney’s room from a slow pan up from the campus grounds at 11mins 50s is still very soft here… but even a cursory glance back to the previous disc shows huge improvements from start to finish.
