Video
Beautiful, high-resolution imagery doesn't spare details. Texture looks outstanding, from facial definition to the decrepit areas of the city. Sharpness is brilliant, maintained by superb grain replication. Smoke and dust pose no threat to the definition.
Dolby Vision brings some added splendor, raising the color to give primaries renewed life. Once into The Running Man itself, the wild uniforms/costumes sport spectacular vibrancy. Every color jumps from the frame. Flesh tones hold a naturally vivid hue.
Striking contrast elevates stage lights and glistens off metals. Brightness overall sustains a healthy peak, and there's not a sign of age. Thick black levels assist, calibrated flawlessly.
Audio
An active, wide soundstage gives a modern spark to this '80s era audio. Sound effects flood the rears, ambient effects natural whether a helicopter, a steel mill, or the game show crowd. Channel separation comes across as entirely natural, and the score jumps through every speaker. The sled sequence is especially awesome.
Dated gunshots aside, there's some range to appreciate too. Music hums in the low-end to bring some range into the '80s epic. Otherwise, bass remains limited by the source materials.
