Indiana Jones Collection 4K UHD Review-This revisionism doesn’t belong in a museum

#indianajones #4kuhd #physicalmedia

I review the Paramount 4k UHD collection of the Indiana Jones series. Unfortunately these masters in spite of new 4K scans have been subjected to manipulation and revisionism. Every effects shot has been messed with, no original audio is present, paramount disc encoding issues abound with lots of compression artifacts, there are no new extras, the HDR has pop out at times, the packaging is cheap and flimsy and ultimately there is no upside to this release.
