I review the must purchase upgrade by Arrow video of the two Conan films: CONAN THE BARBARIAN and CONAN THE DESTROYER. Both films have been restored in 4K by Arrow with Dolby Vision HDR, new mono mix transfers and hours of new and legacy supplements. This is the kind of release fans had given up hope for after years of the terrible Universal Blu-rays. Sadly the mono tracks a re a tad processed and the is one very fleeting color error in Barbarian that holds this otherwise superb set back from absolute perfetion.
Still it remains an incredibly handsome effort topped off by stupendous Fidelity in Motion disc encoding. By Crom, it is a must!
