Like the headline says, this is a gorgeous blu-ray! A brand-new HD master was used, from a 4K scan of the 35mm original negative. "4K scan" of the negative does not mean this is a UHD disk, requiring a UHD player. It is a regular blu-ray, and it played fine in my regular old blu-ray player.
If you're a fan of this movie, unless you've acquired some restoration I missed, I doubt you've seen this movie look so good. It's astonishing, like a different movie from the one I've watch on my old DVD for many years. The beautiful scenery in the Owens Valley and Inyo National Forest can really be enjoyed now. Most important, Steve McQueen looks great—he may be too old for the part of a young man bent on revenge for the brutal murders of his parents, but so what? He looks glorious in this release, and that's fine with me.
Very glad I pre-ordered this, very happy with the restoration, love the movie even more now, and really really hope that "Tom Horn" is next on the KL-Studio McQueen restoration list. (Their recent restoration release of McQueen's film "Hunter" also looks great and brings that movie to new life, making it a better film.)
