Perfect popcorn cinema, but not quite as
impressive as the first three movies.

PICTURE QUALITY:
The picture has been made to look 1950s-esque and is dominated by a brownish tint, diffuse light sources, and numerous backlit shots. Despite this, the detail reproduction and edge sharpness almost universally reach reference level. On top of that, you get strong contrast and a clean, stable picture. Full marks!

SOUND QUALITY:
Once again, we’re dishing out full marks. Whether it’s a bomb exploding or a wall caving in, the sound impresses with top-class surround effects, deep bass, and dynamics, as well as precise effect positioning.
