    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny -- in 4k UHD

    This is 100% the case in my opinion. Raiders is such a great film in so many ways that the sequels had very little hope of ever matching it. These things are fleeting.

    I gave it a second watch yesterday and it grew on me a little bit, but in my mind, it's still third-tier Indy compared to the first three films.

    Well, as "meh" as I am about this film, I stumbled into my local Best Buy today just for grins (had an errand next door) and out of curiosity perused the very limited stock of Blu-ray/4K releases they have left. Lo and behold, there was ONE steelbook of this title on the shelf and it was in...
