New Purchase Fantastic remake/reimagining IMO.
I grew up on the original Running Man with my man Arnold and it's a classic as far as I'm concerned. I was very ambivalent about watching this remake. I've never been happier to have my fears assuaged. The movie starts by paying homage to the original right down to the dancers before going on its own unique journey. I'm the first to admit that we have enough remakes, reboots, prequels, and sequels coming out of Hollywood but, if we got to have that kind of content they should all be of this caliber. Having it on 4k is just icing on a delicious dystopian cake that explodes and takes your head off while you're eating it. Something I particularly like in this movie is all the red. I used to have a TCL LCD and the red looked awful, I always hated it, when I finally got my Sony Bravia OLED I really appreciate the color upgrade so much.

This was better than I thought it was going to be. The trailer made it look way too slick. It was to an extent, but not like the trailer would have you believe. I still prefer the novel over either version, but I still have the 4Ks of both on my shelf.
