Picture & Audio & Film (it has to be a good Film because ...)

The films I picked can be objectionable as we all have different views on films.
So they are my choices for the three criteria above and without mercy (figure of speech).

I won't give them an order of preference, like from one to ten, just my top best ten.

The Matrix: In 4K it's the best looking version so far, and the audio is fine.
If I didn't like the film I wouldn't have included in my list.

Blade Runner 2049: It looks and sounds the parts in style. And I like the film.

Interstellar: Powerful sounding and hypnotic imagery. ...A high experience.

Saving Private Ryan: The 4K version is simply the best.

Dunkirk: Another unique experience, all across the board.

Gladiator: Music score, camera angles, entertaining.

The Dark Knight: Atmosphere, soundtrack, addicting photography, best villain.

Blade Runner (1982): The Best 4K version so far, a classic.

Lucy: Colors, adrenaline rush, sounds, a visual entertaining feast for the brain.

Braveheart: Cinematography, music score, entertaining epic love story.

Mad Max: Fury Road: Fun, entertaining, concept, makeup, imagery, audio.

The Revenant: Vistas, angles, light, sounds, nature, movie magic.

Oups! I have two too many. ...Or eight missing.

From eight to ten they all are between, overall including picture and sound. And I did not include any Documentary, that's for another separate section. Some of you I'm sure don't agree with few of them, for film content/value, and that's ok because as you can see there are many sci-fi flicks...half of them. There are no comedies, no animations, no romances, ... that too would be for another separate section...like foreign films.

Or, I could have make my best hundred 4K flicks list. ...Later on with time.

* I neglected the 3D Blu-ray thread, deliberately. I love 3D, it will come back...I am positively certain.

Super welcome to everyone in adding more or their own favorite best 4K Blu-ray films; even documentaries, animations, foreign, etc., for the three main criteria: Great cinematic experience (film value), great picture immersion and great audio soundtrack.

Did you notice that in the twelve films above there are people who died.
You don't see that normally in comedies, romances, etc.
'Interstellar' has the lesser number of deaths. And the quest is to save humanity.

Sci-fi flicks come in all flavors ...

* Another time I'll post films that have zero deaths.

Zero deaths (Documentaries):
