Musical clarity for all four films is exemplary with the detail of Williams’ lush and complex orchestration finding deliberate spacing and separation and finite detail afforded the exotic percussion, the celestial qualities of the harp and the more delicate specialised use of the strings and the woodwinds. Each score now sounds better and more enveloping than ever before. Now this is more like it. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is not only a better film than Temple of Doom, it’s arguably the second best film in this franchise to date. It seems that you just can’t have a great Indy film without a Nazi menace, so they do indeed return to keep up with (and torment) the Joneses. Once more, the story features an iconic relic of antiquity imbued with divine power. And two of the franchise’s best supporting characters, Sallah and Brody, are along for the ride this time to add to the fun. But the highlight of this film is unquestionably Sean Connery, who serves as the perfect comic foil for Harrison Ford’s deadpan delivery and accidental action hero performance. The two actors play off one another beautifully, with Connery stealing scene after scene. The film’s set pieces—including a boat chase, a zeppelin escape, and a struggle abroad a World War I tank—are thrilling. Spielberg’s direction and pacing are far more brisk, and composer John Williams delivers a score that’s at once brassy, but also more personal. The Last Crusade is not quite on the same level as the original film, but it’s definitely a welcome return to form for the series. The disc’s menus are once more identical to those on the previous Blu-ray release. The disc includes the following extras:

Behind the Scenes: A whole slew of featurettes covering a range of cool elements from the series. We have - giving away the character's identity. He's presented as if made up of an orange map; edges are jagged and some small "islands," also orange, float As you can see, that’s a lot of missing content. So unfortunately, if you want to keep everything, you literally can’t part with any of your previous editions. And that’s a bummer. In addition to presenting a high-quality transfer of Indiana Jones 5 by director James Mangold and starring Harrison Ford, the disc release will have a multi-part behind-the-scenes feature. The feature, The Making of Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny, will reveal the challenges of shooting on location and using visual effects to enhance the adventure. Chapters for this feature are labeled as Prologue, New York, Morocco, Sicily, and Finale.

The INDIANA JONES 4-MOVIE COLLECTION includes nine discs in the set. Each film is presented on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc with original theatrical trailers and on standard Blu-ray™. The set includes an additional Blu-ray™ with seven hours of previously released bonus content. With their lossless makeovers, the first three Indy adventures now have the truly engrossing, all-channel accompaniment that we always wanted from them. These aren’t vintage productions that had limited scope and invention in the sound department, so there is nothing inherently bogus about the immersive qualities they now possess. They were always meant to sound dynamic and detailed and larger-than-life. We already knew that Crystal Skull would sound amazing, because we’ve heard it lossless before. The soundmix for this outing appears to be the same as previously. No need to go over that then.

As with Raiders, this image boasts amazing depth-of-field, at times becoming almost fully three-dimensional. Doom is the most intensely photographed and this transfer I found to be spellbinding.pattern with the film's title center, a blank top, and Paramount and UltraHD logos in light gray at the bottom. In the debate about whether to watch Indiana Jones 5 in theaters or wait for streaming, TG's Rory Mellon says Indiana Jones 5 is "definitely a movie that can wait." Indiana Jones 5 Digital Release Bonus Content Standouts for wraparound would be the roiling heavens and thunder and lightning bolts above the Well of Souls and the fury and Nazi-damning powers of God during the Ark opening ceremony. You can really hear the voices spirit swirling around the speakers now.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Blu-ray on December 5, 2023. Extras: If there’s any aspect of this UHD boxset that disappoints, it’s the extra features; and that’s only because there’s nothing new here. Everything from the trailers that accompany each film (three each for Raiders… and …Crystal Skull, two each for …Temple of Doom and …Last Crusade) to the seven behind-the-scenes documentaries and five featurettes bundled together on the bonus Blu-ray platter also featured in the 2012 Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures BD boxset. Even so, while it would have been great to have some new material to mark Raiders of the Lost Ark’s 40th anniversary, there’s no denying that this was already a pretty comprehensive collection of goodies.

Indy's 4K SteelBook collection ships in a rather flimsy outer slip box measuring approximately 7" tall, 5.5" wide, and just a shade over 3"Ben Burtt’s English Dolby Atmos mix is the star of this show, however, and once again it’s phenomenal. At the risk of repeating myself, it offers a big wide front soundstage, lots of lively panning and movement, clear dialogue, and plenty of immersive use of the surrounds. The atomic test, the Sabre flyover, and the waterfall drops all use the height channels to full advantage. Williams’ score is brassy and blustery, presented in excellent fidelity. Mutt’s rumbling motorbike engine has pleasing low end heft. Simply put, every Atmos mix in this box set is a demo-worthy surround sound experience. Additional audio options on the 4K disc include English Audio Description, along with Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, and Russian 5.1 Dolby Digital. Available subtitles include English, English for the Hearing Impaired, Cantonese, Danish, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Dutch, Norwegian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Finnish, Swedish, and Thai.
