Paramount's 4K UHD release of 'Airplane!' effectively utilizes the same master as the 2020 Blu-ray with Dolby Vision enhancements, offering subtle yet appreciable improvements in resolution and color. While not groundbreaking, it delivers sharper textures, lifelike skin tones, and enhanced black levels, marking the best home presentation yet.

Audio: 76

The 4K UHD Blu-ray of Airplane! ports the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack from the 2011 Blu-ray, delivering a capable mix with excellent clarity. Elmer Bernstein’s score stretches the stereo channels, though the rear channels see minimal use.

Extra: 51

The 4K UHD Blu-ray of 'Airplane!' features commentary and extras only on the Blu-ray disc, with highlights including a lively commentary, a short retrospective, and a Q&A from the film's directors, all praised for their engaging insights into this classic comedy.

Movie: 91

"The 4K UHD release of 'Airplane!' maintains the film's comedic brilliance with a 2160p/Dolby Vision video upgrade, yet offers no new audio advancements beyond the existing DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack. A modest UHD offering, enhanced only by its inclusion in the exclusive ZAZ Collection.”
