Video: 86

Red Dawn's 4K upgrade by Shout! Factory brings unparalleled clarity, lifelike colors, and enhanced details, making it the definitive home video edition despite minor issues with optical effects.

Audio: 71

Shout! Factory reuses DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 from 2017, misleadingly packaging a non-existent Dolby Atmos mix. Audio quality is high but lacks organic surround effects; the 2.0 mix may offer better fidelity.

Extra: 68

The 2017 Shout! Factory Blu-ray edition of Red Dawn, with its array of extra features and a retrospective filled with interviews and stories, lacks new content for fans, retaining the same bonuses and production insights without fresh additions.

Movie: 71

Shout! Factory's 4K release of 'Red Dawn' (1984) enhances visuals but lacks new extras or sound upgrades, mirroring its earlier Blu-ray, amidst a Cold War-era tale of teenage guerrillas fighting against a Soviet invasion in Colorado.
