The eternal wait for Mr Cameron to release his craftsmanship of True Lies and a new 4K scan with its distributer is like waiting for the sea to part again. As a stop gap those special Spanish friends of ours have only gone and made available a Blu-Ray of it haven't they!
It comes on a commercially produced dual layer disc with the traditional box art as previously more or less. Usual sort of extras but the film itself is the best I have seen it to press. I will hazard a guess they have used the previous digital master for this and for the moment it is good enough, certainly a great improvement over the DVD and the best thus far. It may even be the case a 2002 Digital VHS tape was the source but can only speculate on that, but it does have that sort of look about it.
Eventually we will see a new 4K of this much loved Arnie movie but in what lifetime is the question? Price wise it came in at 13 Euro in Spain and in the last month or so up to the 25 notch still a worthy buy particularly if you love the film as we do.
Enjoy and having another Criswell Predicts moment I'm guessing the print run would be about 2500 again.
The Super 8 trailer is a good companion for this BR which we watched first.
