About this deal

Lionsgate has also set a number of recent 4K Digital releases for their debut on physical 4K Ultra HD, including The Kid and Gamer on 7/19, and Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar and Primal on 7/26. Tearing around Europe with handguns, assault rifles, heavy machine guns, a grenade launcher and even a bazooka, De Niro literally has a blast on the action front too, even talking Reno through surgery to remove a bullet from his side with the off-the-cuff remark that he's an old pro at auto-surgery, having once had to remove an appendix with a grapefruit spoon, closing out his ordeal with "If you don't mind, I think I'm going to just pass out.". It's a word-perfect script and the cast lap it up. from a then new 4K scan, since the only information I could find simply offered a generic and frankly unhelpful in this instance "4K

As I said, Mann has made more severe and drastic changes to other films over the years. Comparatively, Heat has remained relatively untouched (maybe not visually, but more on that later). It’s impossible to improve on a perfect film. There isn’t a missing scene that would uncover a new arc or aspect of a character. There isn’t a missing beat of an action sequence that would add to the intensity. It’s all here. Yes, there are deleted scenes, but I don't see anything there that'd be beneficial for a new cut of the film. Everything that matters is on the screen. Heat and The Insider, in my opinion, are Michael Mann’s two most complete films where there doesn’t feel a need to add or subtract to any given moment. And now we have Mann's novel Heat 2 to look forward to. Hopefully, it's an equally masterful epic and worthy of a cinematic return someday. Pacino and De Niro: The Conversation (480i; 9:58) is an archival piece focusing on the characters' interactions. been able to find any authoritative source as to whether this was culled from the same master as Fox's 1080 release, which was reportedly done

I also love Dead Heat’s take on Zombies. A horror sub-genre that’s been beaten to death and repeatedly resurrected and beaten again, Zombies tend to be pretty one-note recently deceased corpses. Here we’re given a pretty damn inventive means of resurrection thanks to a mad scientist played by Vincent Price. Price may not get a lot of time here, but the elder statesman of horror is a game participant and lends some more credibility to the proceedings. On top of that, the Zombies of this movie aren’t exactly well preserved. Like an old steak left to the elements, they rot. A lot of the fun of this film is Roger dealing with his constantly changing appearance and trying not to horrify people. There's practically zero bass. Nothing tested my subwoofer. The mix has rolled off bass at around 45Hz and falls off by about 8 to 10 db. This is the same mix that I've always known, but I would have liked to have seen this touched out. I'm not saying it has to have Dune levels of bass, but when the charges go off I want to feel it. That's basically no bass in the mix, and I love bass, so for me, that's a little disappointing. No edge or oversharpening was applied. There is some minor camera ringing, but I thought it was fine. The resolution is quite nice and allows the film grain to breathe, unlike the Blu-ray. Facial detail is revealing without being too intrusive. There is some softness in some scenes, but I found this to be, again, stylization rather than a flaw. Mann's home releases always attract controversy. If he's not inexplicably tweaking the film itself (the Theatrical Cut of Heat has never been released in HD) then he's fiddling with the colour timing ( Thief went blue, and Heat followed suit), with the last version even enjoying a smattering of resizing and cropping for good measure. Sure, those who aren't sitting there directly comparing it to the previous version, and who haven't seen the film in a few years, might not really notice and/or be bothered that much, but it's still an... odd practice. And it doesn't stop with this 4K release either, which sits comfortably alongside its predecessors as another "well, if you haven't seen it for a few years and aren't doing a direct comparison, you'll probably get along just fine with this as a nice little 4K release".

All of the supplements found on Warner's previous Blu-ray edition of Heat are included on this release. (See below for the Definitive Edition exclusives.) Heat was already remastered in 4k over 5 years ago for the release of the Director’s Definitive Edition on Blu-ray Disc, and since 4k Blu-ray has been around since 2016 it’s surprising it took this long to release on the higher-quality disc format. We’re not sure if any new enhancements were made to the sharpness of the video for this Ultra HD Blu-ray edition (meaning, on the 4k master), but there was definitely some new color grading that seemed to create an overall darker image. The sound has stayed the same with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. And, there are no additional bonus features. Regardless, the 4k Blu-ray with HDR10 is a worthy update to the 1080p presentation that brings more color depth and detail to the imagery of this iconic film. Scores film may know that Heat received a prior release on 1080 Blu-ray by Warner Brothers before the 20th Century Fox release I reviewed, and The Making Of Heat : A substantial three-part archival documentary totaling 59 minutes in which the cast and crew discuss the origins of the story, the epic nature of the production, the detail put into detailing the police work, the themes of the narrative, the facets of each of the characters, choreographing the epic shootout, crafting the look of the film and more. slight variations in focus pulling, and there's a bit of fuzziness that can be detected in passing as a result that tends to be noticeable on the edges of

The Making of Heat–Broken down into three individual featurettes which can be viewed separately or all together. This is really the story of how the movie came to be, the influences for the writing and finally the casting and actual shoot. shadowy ambience that otherwise pervades Mann's sensibilities here, where one might naturally assume HDR would add nuance to the mix (which it Kino Lorber Studio Classics has announced additional catalog titles for Blu-ray release in August, including Samson and the 7 Miracles of the World (1961) on 8/16, and Mata Hari (1985), Summer Heat (1987) and The Tenth Man (1988 TV movie) on 8/30. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How does it look? Audio: How does it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about? But Hanna’s empathy lies with McCauley, offering the respect of one adversary against another. As the police close in on the master thief’s grand scheme, Heat follows parallel stories of pursuit and planning that play out in a highly romanticized vision of Los Angeles. Mann tells his story with an equally rigorous attention to the details of crime scenes, the mechanics of robberies, and even the inner workings of late-night diners and nightclubs that the characters frequent. Throughout the film’s immaculately framed and cooly lensed scenes, you may find yourself slowly coming to respect Hanna and McCauley, and identifying with the former perhaps more because he represents the ostensible good guy. You may even itch for the moment where these titans will inevitably meet, which occurs when Hanna pulls McCauley over on the street and casually asks, “Whattaya say I buy you a cuppa coffee?”

And our friends at the Warner Archive Collection have revealed a pair of new catalog Blu-ray titles streeting in July, including The Frisco Kid (1979) on 7/12 and Adventures of Don Juan (1948) on 7/19! scattered along the bottom third, each casting a long shadow. Some studio logos and legalese appear along the bottom in off-white. The (1995) masterpiece Heat on 4K. I've owned this movie on every format that I know. One of my favorites is LaserDisc. Let's see how the 4K performs. Strong bass leaves a mark, but additional punch wouldn’t hurt. Depth and power resonate through the room and there’s enough weight to feel the jolts. It’s a lesser effect than top-end action discs though, the design such that guns fire in open air, louder than they are deep. Extras Now it's been only 5 years since Arrow Video delivered an impressive 4K remaster - supervised by Fraisse - on 1080p Blu-ray, one which would take some effort to beat. But that's precisely what Kino have done, taking a new 4K scan from the Original Camera Negative, and applying a new HDR colour grade (with Dolby Vision metadata), yielding improved results across the board.Subdued saturation keeps flesh tones flat and primaries dry.
