    I liked it a lot and I'll be excited to revisit. I especially liked the unique cinematography. The premise is very interesting and would still be pretty fresh if it was made in 2025. I would highly recommend, especially if you love old Sci-Fi.

    ★★★

    I enjoyed the visuals and the incorporation of sci-fi elements into a pretty traditional crime triller plotline. JLo is surprisingly compelling in this and the rest of the cast is pretty good as well.

    ****Physical Media****
    The 4K UHD with Dolby Vision presentation from Arrow is ok, not the most stunning disc. The color didn't seem to pop as much as I expected. I didn't see any glaring issues though, so your mileage may vary.

    I've seen this movie countless times but it always brings me immense joy to watch again. Christoph Waltz is remarkable. My favorite scenes in no particular order - the opening, Mike Myers cameo, and the basement scene.

    For the physical media enjoyers, the 4K presentation looks great and Arrow released a really nice package for it. This is my favorite Tarantino so I'm glad to revisit it in much better format compared to my old DVD.
