They Went From Zeroes To Heroes In One Fantastic Weekend.
If you can't get a date... make one! After proving himself the king of heartfelt teen flicks with Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, writer-director John Hughes infused the genre with a hefty dose of wacked-out sci-fi comedy in Weird Science, a film where every teenage boy's wildest fantasies come to life.
Perennially picked-on high school nerds Gary (Anthony Michael Hall, Sixteen Candles) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) are sick of their status at the bottom of the social food chain. Using Wyatt's computer, the two hatch a plan to create their dream woman - and following a massive power surge, that woman unexpectedly appears in the form of Lisa (Kelly LeBrock). Gorgeous, intelligent, and blessed with limitless magic powers, Lisa makes the boys' dreams come true... but what about Wyatt's gun-toting psycho older brother Chet (Bill Paxton), and the two bullies (Robert Downey Jr and Vamp's Robert Rusler) determined to put them back in their place?
Inspired by Ec Comics and boosted by a killer soundtrack (including the classic title theme by Oingo Boingo), Weird Science has never looked better than in this new 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray edition, including an extended version of the film and hours of bonus content.

I have the Universal bluray that's like ten years old. It looks positively bad, but it's all I had ever known until I got this Arrow 4K remaster, which offers several big improvements. The resolution is obviously much improved. You can make out background details that just look like a blurry mess on the old disk. (Random example: In the mall scene, Gary pulls up to the curb from section 21 of the parking lot -- not a pertinent detail but one that's impossible to discern on the old disk.) Regarding color, everything POPS, maybe too vividly in some cases. I had this debate with friends who watched it with me. I think skin tones are a bit warm but the color schemes are so varied and extreme in this movie that no one else seemed to notice or care. It looks fantastic. One quick remark on the relatively heavy grain throughout the film. Personally I can't stand 4K disks that scrub the images so aggressively to remove all the grain and wind up making faces look almost cartoonish. I really appreciate that Arrow doesn't take this approach. I've watched a few 4K disks they've produced now and, in each case, the transfer offers significant visual benefits while still looking authentic and natural. That's important for the nostalgic effect of a movie like Weird Science for sure. The surround mix absolutely bangs. Watch this with friends and movie night will very quickly turn into a dance party. Also, RIP Bill Paxton.
