The unique throwback sci-fi film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow didn't make the splash it was hoping for with audiences. In fact, we feel it's an overlooked film here at JoBlo as Chris Bumbray tries to shine a light on the alien invasion film with a retrospective video. He recommends it highly by saying, "If you haven't seen this movie, I urge you to check it out. It's a fun, old-fashioned adventure with a great score by Edward Shearmur, who never entirely became the A-list composer he should have been. It has a bouncy pace and even an early example of post-mortem casting with Laurence Olivier playing the bad guy despite having died 13 years before this came out. Give it a shot!"

However, some movies can still find audiences late in life, and perhaps that can happen with the new physical release of Sky Captain. Blu-ray.com has announced that Shout Factory will be distributing a new special 4K remastered Blu-ray this summer. Sky Captain was written and directed by Kerry Conran and stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Angelina Jolie, Giovanni Ribisi, and Michael Gambon.The new two-disc 4K Blu-ray is due to hit retailers on May 27.

The description reads,

"When giant robots attack New York City, intrepid reporter Polly Perkins (Academy Award winner Gwyneth Paltrow) enlists the aid of ace aviator and old flame Joseph 'Sky Captain' Sullivan (two-time Academy Award nominee Jude Law) to stop a plot to destroy the world before it's too late. Co-starring Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie, Sky Captain And The World of Tomorrow will thrill and amaze you right through to the action-packed finale."

These problems don’t even come close to the biggest issue of them all, though. For the most part, the movies that you can’t stream can be purchased in DVD or Blu-ray form if you look hard enough. But if it’s an original release from a streaming service, you may discover that there is no amount of money you can pay to get a physical copy.

Last year, Mike Flanagan, the filmmaker behind horror movies like Hush, Gerald’s Game, and Doctor Sleep, as well as series like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, revealed that Netflix actively avoids physical releases of their original properties.

“In the years I worked at Netflix, I tried very hard to get them to release my work on Blu-ray and DVD,” he said during a panel discussion. “They refused at every turn. It became clear very fast that their only priority was subs, and that they were actively hostile to the idea of physical media.” It’s up to companies like Criterion to break these movies out of streaming jail and given them a physical release. This is the only reason you can purchase hard copies of Roma, Marriage Story, and All of Us Strangers.

The problem goes far beyond a cinephile’s desire to own physical media, too. Film preservation relies on hard copies, be it film, tapes, or DVDs. Digital media is ephemeral. Licences can be revoked, files can be corrupted, and quality can be watered down for the sake of easy storage. Physical media, whether it’s sitting on your shelf at home or in the US Library of Congress, isn’t subject to the whims of an executive who has never heard of Akira Kurosawa or seen a low-budget cult film from the Czech New Wave.

Flanagan highlighted this point, saying that “while companies like Netflix pride themselves on being disruptors and have proven that they can affect great change in the industry, they sometimes fail to see the difference between disruption and damage. So much that they can find themselves, intentionally or not, doing enormous harm to the very concept of film preservation.”

The irony is that, while the idea of ‘owning’ physical media can look like a manifestation of a consumerist, materialistic society, it’s the digital realm that we have to worry about in that regard. Digital media is beholden to studios and corporations that are only concerned with the bottom line rather than the preservation of culture. In contrast, distributors like Criterion, Kino Lorber, Arrow Video, and Severin Films offer high-quality, physical restorations of movies that often include audio commentary, essays, multiple cuts, and elaborate artwork. In short, physical media treats films as enduring works of art, while streaming platforms reduce them to ‘content.’ I know which definition I want to be behind.

This stunningly restored and remastered Director's Cut adds more gravitas and organic characterization to the historical masterpiece, a cinematic experience that is further plussed when seen in Dolby Vision and heard with Atmos. Visionary director Ridley Scott crafted a passionate and perilous tale of the Crusades that has made its mark on audiences for decades, but never before has it been shown in such high-definition sight and sound, deepening the experience for longtime fans and a new generation alike.

Originally released on May 6, 2005, Kingdom of Heaven is one of Scott's most revered creative endeavors, having crafted a world rich in history, adventure, and visual splendor in which to tell an epic tale.

Having lost everything, Balian finds redemption through a heroic fight — against overwhelming forces — to save his people and fulfill his destiny as a knight.

Sean Connery is often cited as the best actor to ever step into the shoes of James Bond. However, his films have never been released on 4K Blu-ray--only Daniel Craig's turn as Bond has received the 4K treatment. That's about to change, as the 007: James Bond Sean Connery 6-Film Collection (4K Blu-ray) is officially up for preorder ahead of its June 3 release date. If you're looking for a premium way to store and display the collection, a Limited Edition Steelbook Box Set is also launching the same day.

Amazon hasn't added images of the box sets to its store pages yet, but we will update this article as soon as promotional images and more details are available.

...

The steelbook collection includes six steelbooks--one for each film--plus a massive "steelbook library case" to keep them organized on your shelf. Details are scarce, but we do know you'll get 4K and digital versions of all six films. Expect to learn more about bonus features soon. Since this is the first time the films are making the jump to 4K, we expect there to be high demand for the product. Be sure to preorder if you want to be among the first to have it in their home.

Here's a look at the six films included in the collection:

  • Dr. No
  • From Russia With Love
  • Goldfinger
  • Thunderball
  • You Only Live Twice
  • Diamonds are Forever

Every town has a story — Tombstone has a legend. Experience the explosive, action-packed battle on 4K Ultra HD. U.S. Marshall Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell), his brothers (Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton) and the outrageous Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) band together to bring law to the lawless in a notorious showdown at the O.K. Corral. The star-studded cast also includes Dana Delany, Jason Priestley and Michael Biehn in an epic story of Wild West justice.

Originally released in 1993, this is the first 4K rodeo for Tombstone, triggering viewers to witness all the dustups and defilement of the Wild West in crisp visual detail unlike ever before. Without having to skin a smoke wagon, Tombstone's audience will get a peek behind the saloon doors to see how Director George P. Cosmatos and his gang of filmmakers brought the historic O.K. Corral into theatrical reality, including the storyboard process and realistic Old West gunslinging.

The upcoming 4K release of Tombstone is the high-res huckleberry fans have awaited for decades...you're a daisy if you don't add it to your personal cinema archives. Along with previously released bonus extras, the 4K disc will draw an eye-popping collectible limited edition SteelBook with custom artwork and packaging.
