️ Video

• Codec: HEVC / H.265
• Resolution: Native 4K (2160p)
• HDR: Dolby Vision, HDR10
• Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
• Quality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (4.5/5)
  Sourced from a 4K scan of the original 35mm negative, this transfer shows major upgrades over previous releases. HDR brings deep blacks and vivid primaries, especially in the bold reds and blues of the ship interiors. Shadow definition is strong, though the first 20 minutes appear slightly monochrome. Fine detail and grain retention are excellent — although the clarity does expose the film’s dated VFX in places. A standout Arrow remaster, if not quite reference quality.

Audio

• Tracks:
  • English DTS-HD MA 5.1
  • English DTS-HD MA 2.0

• Quality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (4.5/5)
  The 5.1 track offers a surprisingly immersive experience with good use of side and rear channels during action sequences and ambient sci-fi moments. Dialogue is clean and centered. The 2.0 stereo mix is also strong for purists. No dropouts or balance issues — just a solid and dynamic mix with punch.

Review Summary:
Jason X is either your guilty pleasure or your franchise breaking point. But Arrow’s 4K release leaves no one behind — it’s a beautifully remastered presentation with the kind of supplements that turn skeptics into collectors. The film’s cheesy space horror tone and dodgy CGI age it, but the disc is pure fan service.
✅ RECOMMENDED for franchise fans and collectors. Casual viewers beware.
