It’s weird seeing “VHS” covers for movies like John Wick and Creed that came out after the format was abandoned.

My copy has shipped. Over at bluray.com a member said the PQ was lacking, especially in scenes that take place in the dark, such as the opening which is particularly bad. It sounds like the daylight scenes are okay. I suspect that we will still be in awe of Tanya Roberts body in the well lit scenes, with a noticeable uptick in visual clarity compared to the old dvd, but even for a bargain priced $8.99 title it would have been nice if slightly more effort went into producing this disc.

So, I watched the first 30 minutes to determine if things are as bad as some folks claimed and I have to say that for the most part it looks pretty good for a 34 year old film. I am watching using a Samsung 4K blu ray player on a sub $800.00 LG 55” 4K TV with HDR so I am sure higher end TVs will cause certain visual flaws to stick out more compared to my set-up but again, not bad for a $9.00 blu ray of a film from the mid-eighties. I forgot how old this film was because I was in Junior High when this hit theaters.

I did notice the white speckles all over the screen during the nighttime opening scene but when it transitions to daylight you quickly forget about the visual flaws that you literally just witnessed moments earlier.

Oh, God, no... Just no.
