The Crow 4K Blu-ray Review:

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of “The Crow” with Paramount Pictures’ stunning 4K Ultra HD release. This 1994 cult classic, directed by Alex Proyas and starring the late Brandon Lee, gets a remarkable upgrade with native 4K (2160p) resolution and Dolby Vision HDR, offering a visually engrossing experience that stays true to its original film noir aesthetic.

**Video Quality: 5/5**

The new 2160p/Dolby Vision presentation breathes new life into the film’s dark and moody visuals. Black levels are deep and precise, enhancing shadows without losing detail, while white balance maintains a natural contrast against the pervasive darkness. The texture is excellent, capturing the gritty urban settings with impressive detail.

**Audio Quality: 4.5/5**

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack delivers robust and immersive sound. Action sequences and musical elements are dynamic and well-balanced, with clear dialogue and potent effects that capture the film’s intense atmosphere. While an Atmos mix is absent, the audio still impresses.

**Special Features: 4/5**

This edition includes nearly all the original extras from the 2011 Lionsgate release, along with new content such as a commentary track, a three-part feature on the film’s design, and an interview about a collectible figurine. Fans will appreciate the added depth these extras provide.

**Overall Recommendation: 4.5/5**

Paramount’s 4K release of “The Crow” is a must-have for fans and newcomers alike. With its stunning visual upgrade and immersive audio, it captures the essence of the original theatrical experience.
