We’re instituting a new rating line today, as I’ve been noting more of late, that catalog titles are receiving more than just a new image harvest, or uncompressed audio.
With their new 4k of Air Force One, a hugely entertaining two decade old political thriller, from Wolfgang Petersen, Columbia not only gives us a new image harvest, which yields an astoundingly beautiful picture, but with the addition of Dolby Atmos, going from the original Dolby 5.1, a much larger, and more encompassing sound stage.
And this affects the overall pleasure derived from the disc in major ways.
These two attributes leave the old ten year-old Blu-ray in the dust.
A great film, made even more inviting with the latest technology.
A 4k catalog release that’s a must own.
Image – 5
Audio – 5 (Dolby Atmos)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Upgrade from Blu-ray – Absolutely
New program technology yielding important upgrades – 5
Very Highly Recommended

This was shown theatrically in the SDDS 8 channel format, not that it would make much difference at home.

The item has been processed but not shipped, according to Target's website. It seems trapped in some sort of shipping limbo. I'm getting pretty fed up because I was really looking forward to seeing it in 4K ATMOS glory. Grrrr.

I wish I had heard about that promotion. I’m a regular Target shopper and somehow missed it.

Well, I do, but managed to miss it. I anxiously await the thread every week and then subscribe to it. Oh well. I’m sure there will be plenty more opportunities for me to “save” money.
I was expecting the worst from that scene too but amazingly it didn’t look too bad I thought. Pretty good actually.

Is it on sale for that price?
Great Atmos sound.
Great picture.
This movie is just simply a great action flick.
