The extensive 4K restoration of ‘Taxi Driver,’ overseen by Martin Scorsese and Michael Chapman, delivers a remarkable 1080p transfer with vivid period colors, lifelike flesh tones, and outstanding detail and depth. The film’s natural grain and deep black levels enhance its gritty atmosphere without sacrificing clarity or introducing noise.

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track of 'Taxi Driver' impresses with excellent fidelity, dynamic range, and clarity in dialogue and music, particularly Bernard Herrmann's score, making the audio feel contemporary. Despite limited surround activity and subtle bass, it offers an immersive listening experience.

Extra: 98

The Blu-ray's extensive set of features, combining old and new content, provides an exhaustive exploration of 'Taxi Driver,' from a 40-minute Q&A at the Tribeca Film Festival to multiple insightful commentaries, detailed featurettes on the creation and themes of the film, and a comprehensive making-of documentary, enhancing our appreciation of this classic.

Movie: 98

Taxi Driver remains an artistic triumph with a masterful 4K restoration, retaining its 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track; it includes almost all the original extras and an added Q&A from the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival, offering an extensive cinematic exploration of Travis Bickle’s haunting journey.
