Play it again, Jim • It turns out that 4K Blu-ray releases of James Cameron movies are like buses: you spend ages waiting for one, then several turn up at the same time. Hot on the heels of Titanic’s 4K disc debut comes news that Disney is releasing The Abyss, Aliens and True Lies on the UHD format in the US on March 12 (UK releases are expected later the same month). All three have been newly restored in 4K – Theatrical and Special Edition cuts in the case of the first two – with remixed Dolby Atmos sonics.
