The 2013 4K restoration of *RoboCop*, led by Arrow Video, boasts impressive AVC encoded 1080p transfers at 1.85:1 aspect ratio, delivering superb detail and vibrant contrast, though brief sequences from lower generation prints reveal minor shifts in clarity. This Blu-ray is the definitive presentation for now.

Audio: 84

The Arrow release of *RoboCop* excels with DTS-HD Master Audio tracks in 2.0, 4.0, and 5.1, each offering clean dialogue and rich directionality. The 4.0 track stands out for its organic balance, while the 5.1 adds immersive surround effects. The presentation enhances Basil Poledouris' score without distortion or hissing.

Extra: 98

Arrow's Blu-ray release of 'RoboCop' offers an extensive array of new and archival extras, including multiple commentary tracks, detailed interviews with cast and crew, visual effects discussions, deleted scenes, and unique memorabilia tours. This 5-star package is complemented by a beautifully designed physical presentation with postcards, posters, and an 80-page booklet.

Movie: 94

Paul Verhoeven’s 'RoboCop,' a satirical and visceral action classic, not only critiques 1980s corporate greed and media violence but also showcases vivid special effects and sharp performances. This definitive Blu-ray release from Arrow Video includes the unrated Director's Cut, Theatrical Cut, and Television Cut, enriched with extensive bonus content such as new essays, interviews, reversible poster, lobby cards, and a sticker.
