Raiders of the Lost Ark 4K UHD [Blu-ray] [Region A & B & C]

Product Information

So many elements came together seamlessly to make this a landmark film. The direction is deft and efficient, with all of Spielberg’s trademark style and flair in evidence, but with little in the way of overindulgence. The pacing is brisk, but not too brisk—not modern, but definitely a new gear for action-adventure films of the period. The cast is perfect across the board, with Harrison Ford coming fully into his own here. He carries the story with an effortlessness that belays how hard he’s actually working. The stunt work is superb, the set pieces are satisfying, the costuming and period production design are pitch perfect. The script is wry, funny, and honest by turns, and always engaging. There are certainly some cultural depictions of their time, but then that’s how creative works are. Still the film has aged beautifully. And John Williams’ iconic score—arguably his best work apart from Star Wars—lends everything a certain kind of magic, gravitas, and energy... and even a bit of whimsy. This is an unquestionably great film, and one that’s withstood the test of time. tightened to a significant degree. Dolby Vision radically strengthens the film's palette without betraying its natural state. It's a beautiful leap upward whooshes out from the side and the barrage to follow seems to extend from the sides and zip through to the center with remarkable, immersive Detail is stunning on this first entry, from the gritty, grimy tombs to the jungle foliage, the busy marketplaces and desert landscapes. Ford's unshaven often pretty damn sweaty look, perfectly shaped hat and weathered clothing are all wondrously observed, along with the richly textured sets and locations, Tunisia standing out. The intricacy and design of some of them is exceptionally well realised here, as veritable grains of sand come to the fore.

I remember my father took me to see Raiders of the Lost Ark at the theater when it came out in 1981. My parents divorced when I was seven and Raiders was the first movie he and I saw together. It was a special event all around and I was immediately a fan. For him it reminded him of the serials he used to see at the movies when he was a boy and for me it represented something I really hadn’t experienced in a film to that point. I knew Harrison Ford from Star Wars but, heroes for me either had laser pistols, superpowers or rode horses and carried six shooters. As I watched Raiders, I couldn’t help but feel that Indiana Jones was larger than life and, in many ways fit the aforementioned hero bill (less the laser pistols of course). Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981) was directed by Steven Spielberg whilst the story comes from George Lucas / Philip Kaufman.
