1990 was the start of a new decade, one that would explode with computer generated imagery-driven effects films and summer event films that would grow bigger and bigger in scale and budget. Days of Thunder represents the beginning of the end of the pre-CGI era, where computer effects would become the staple of summer blockbusters. This film is a stock summer action film with a big-name star in top billing and a tried and true plot to hang its car racing world storyline on. It’s populated with familiar character-types doing exactly what they are supposed to do and arcs toward a finale we all expect. That we enjoy the journey anyway is a testament to the quality of the filmmaking. And Paramount’s new 4K UHD release of the film presents the best-looking version I’ve seen.
