When Blue Underground creates a new release, they go all out.
For Don Taylor's The Final Countdown, it's a new 4k scan, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, D-Box, and on a separate (3rd) disc, a CD of the original score.
With quality extras carried over from the previous blu-ray, it's an all-encompassing package.
There are many fans off this time-traveling sci-fi film about an attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, but I've never been able to wrap my head around it. In a way, it has similar problems to Wonder Woman 1984, in which there are just too many attributes that - suspension of disbelief aside - just don't come together.
But for those fans, this new 4k release will fit all of their needs and desires.
Image-wise, everything works aside from occasional magnetic grain, which will not be noted by viewers at a normal seating distance, but is mentioned for accuracy.
Audio has been upgraded by the previous 7.1 to include Atmos, and it works nicely.
