Anonymously written Bluray.com review, posted about 10 days ago: “Criterion’s 4K restoration of Lawrence Kasdan‘s Body Heat is a massive upgrade in quality, whether seen in native 4K or 1080p.
“The improvements in delineation, clarity, depth, and especially the dynamic range of the visuals, are humongous. On a large screen, viewing the new 4K restoration and the old 1080p presentation is a night-and-day experience. Color reproduction and balance are outstanding.
“All primaries and supporting nuances are properly set, and there are absolutely no traces of the awful tealing that destroyed the recent 4K restorations of big films like Point Blank and Night Moves.
“Unsurprisingly, Criterion’s Body Heat now has a spectacular, very faithful, very attractive period appearance. The Dolby Vision grade helps some of the most gorgeous visuals look even better. I was particularly impressed by the opening sequence because the different nighttime colors looked tremendous. The darkest areas looked good on my system, too.
“The 1080p presentation also produces stunning colors, which is one of several reasons why the new 4K restoration and the previous 1080p presentation produce visuals with very different dynamic ranges. The entire film is spotless.”
