One of the lesser thrillers in the Harrison Ford cannon, but a reasonably enjoyable one nevertheless, Air Force One gets a strong new 4K transfer with HDR and an Atmos mix from Sony.

The set also gets the previously issued Blu-ray and a Movies Anywhere code for watching at your provider of choice (Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Vudu, Fandango Now, Google Play). This is a barebones reissue that comes with only a director’s commentary as a special feature. All the extra channels relay come into play with the sounds of the airplane and gunshot foley effects. It’s a solid mix for this 1997 film, with the Atmos overhead channels offering a good sense of dimension and the surround and back channels a nice amount of ambience when needed. The AudioĪir Force One has been remixed to Dolby Atmos for this 4K Ultra HD release. This is in contrast to the other Harrison Ford films recently released on 4K, his Jack Ryan films Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger (both from Paramount), which both suffered from some pretty bad black crush.

Colors also look quite natural and crush is very minimal. While there are a few moments where it looks a little soft and grainy, generally this film transfers well to 4K and the HDR10’s wider dynamic range gives a lot of ‘pop’ in the highlights like sheen on buttons, the soft glow of cabin lights in the airplane and the safety lights on the outside of the plane at night. It has been remastered in 4K for this new 4K Ultra HD release with HDR in an HEVC 2160p (4K) encodement framed at 2.40:1. The film dates from 1997 and was originally shot on Arriflex 435 and Arriflex 535 cameras with 35mm Kodak Vision 320T 5277 film stock in the Super 35 format.
