I recently watched True Lies via streaming not knowing this 4K release was actually going to happen. It looked so much better than the DVD. So I’m very much looking forward to this new release.
The copy that was available on streaming last year prior to the 4K announcement did not come from the same source as this disc. It was sourced from an older HD master that originated with the D-VHS release in 2003. That version has now been removed from circulation.
The new disc copy (and more recent digital streaming versions) are from a new 4K remaster enhanced with AI tools to remove all the grain and futz around with the image, for better or worse.
