It really upsets me that they are not including the 4K on blu ray. Not everyone has a 4K UHD blu ray player yet. I do have a UHD TV but the player will have to wait for the Holidays...
I don't have a 4K TV so when I pick up a 4K title (I use the Blu-ray). I think of the 4K disc as something to look forward to. :)

Looks just like it did the four times I saw it in the theater over its long 1988 theatrical release. My first showing was opening day in a sparse matinee and my final was about five weeks later when word had spread to a 70mm sold out Saturday night show where the audience went crazy. De Bont's camerawork was eye candy then and now in 4k. This film is a cultural snapshot of 1988 too.

No release thus far in Australia .. not that I can detect, anyway. Looks as if the 4k era is going to pass us by ... in the same way it's impossible in Australia to purchase HD audio .. although I have managed to get around the regional checks of France's very desirable Qobuz site, with its treasure-trove of 24-96 dubs from vintage LPs and tapes. Moderate prices too..

Watched the 4k disk last night and was underwhelmed by the image. Not sure i would have recognised it as a UHD if i hadn't had the case! I accept that all the reviews have been positive, but i just couldn't see it.

I think it looks about as good as it possibly can - it was shot anamorphic on 80s stock using low-light lenses.
