INDIANA JONES AND THE RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK The box doesn't seem particularly robust; it's not as bas the CBS/Paramount Mission: Impossible box but it's a wonder why Paramount didn't offer Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Blu-ray on December 5, 2023.

The Super Mario Bros Movie is getting its UK disc release this summer, with a mix of DVD, Blu-ray, 4K disc and collector's options. 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.

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.

Relive the unforgettable exploits of world-renowned, globetrotting hero Indiana Jones in spectacular 4K Ultra HD when the INDIANA JONES 4-MOVIE COLLECTION arrives in a new 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray™ set from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Entertainment. More good stuff to found here. Same vein as before. The story, the casting, the shot and the stunts. There was more humour in this one, and this was naturally a deliberate choice after the grim antics of Doom. Connery reveals that his closest scene with “Junior”on the Zeppelin was performed with both himself and Ford sans trousers beneath the table, and the trials of shooting the tank scene – which was typically very slow moving when compared to the charging horse – is also given some detailed analysis. The disc’s menus are once more identical to those on the previous Blu-ray release. The disc includes the following extras: A glimpse at upcoming UK Steelbook release dates until early 2024: here’s what’s getting the fancy treatment and when.

Accompanied by his feisty, independent ex-flame Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), the two-fisted archaeologist embarks on a thrilling quest to locate the mystical Ark of the Covenant. Indy must discover the Ark before the Nazis do, and he has to survive poison, traps, snakes and treachery to do so.

And finally witness the power of the Lost Ark unleashed as Indy stays one step ahead of the Nazis in this classic treasure. s U-571 is coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in the UK this September, with extra features too: more details here. In a year that has spoiled us with some phenomenal BD releases – Jaws, Lawrence of Arabia– and a slew of astounding boxsets – Bond, Universal Monsters– the Indiana Jones set really is the icing on the cake. The films are absolutely perfect entertainment through and through. And whilst the Ark, the Sankara Stones and the Grail are peerless milestones in the annals of action cinema, we can argue about the worth of Crystal Skulls until the day when we all need a handy fridge to avoid some nuclear blast, but the first three films are justifiably legendary and will doubtlessly last forever as the truest embodiment of thrilling adventure. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny follows the adventures of Indiana into the 1960s. Although he tried to put his life of adventuring behind him, he donned the hat and whip again to stop Nazis from stealing a dial with time-travel properties. His adventure leads to him meeting his goddaughter, Helena Shaw (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), and his old pal, Sallah (John Rhys-Davies).

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 other big difference is colour grading. Right from the start of Raiders of the Lost Ark it becomes apparent that the photography now boasts a more balanced colour palette, removing the almost neon green foliage from the Blu-ray with something that looks a lot more natural. Similarly, the golden hue that was so obvious on Blu-ray has been toned down here, giving the film a much more earthy — not to mention authentic — appearance. 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 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.
