The UK's 4K Steelbook release of American Graffiti features an enhanced version with noticeable HDR color issues and an over-smoothed appearance, disappointing purists and dimming its filmic integrity.

Audio: 67

The 4K UHD release of American Graffiti enhances colors but lacks the film's natural texture, appearing digital and processed, while its DTS-HD 5.1 audio adds little depth, retaining clarity mainly in dialogue and music.

Extra: 61

American Graffiti UHD release shines with a solid 5.1 remix, extensive subs, and packed with extras like making-of, screen tests, and Lucas commentary.

Movie: 87

American Graffiti, directed by George Lucas, is a nostalgic ode to youth, capturing the essence of teen transition with a resonant blend of humor, emotion, and cultural snapshots set in 1962, now in stunning UHD.
