Soldier: Blade Runner’s Forgotten Sidequel Remastered in 4K

“It is a strange thing to watch a movie from 1998 and feel like you are looking at a lost artifact from 1984. Paul W. S. Anderson’s Soldier is a film that arrived at the wrong time, perhaps even on the wrong planet, but it carries the DNA of a very specific, very muscular era of science fiction. It feels like a cousin to the grit of The Terminator or the blue-collar exhaustion of Aliens.

It lacks the slick, digital sheen that would soon define the turn of the century, opting instead for massive, practical sets, heavy pyrotechnics, and a lead performance that is almost entirely silent. It is a movie built on the back of Kurt Russell’s squint, and in the late nineties, that wasn’t quite enough for a cynical audience. But looking at it today, it feels like a masterpiece of minimalist storytelling tucked inside a maximalist action shell.

The connection to 1984 isn’t just about the vibe; it is literal. David Webb Peoples wrote the screenplay, and he is the same man who cowrote Blade Runner. He famously considers Soldier to be a sidequel, a story taking place in the same universe where replicants are the standard and the Tannhäuser Gate is a place where soldiers actually fought.

The technical presentation on the Arrow Films 4K restoration is a revelation for a movie that has long lived in the murky shadows of standard definition and early disc formats. By bringing Paul W. S. Anderson back to approve the new master, the disc ensures that the oppressive, industrial atmosphere of the film is preserved exactly as intended.”

I think this is the first 8TB upgrade kit for the Mac mini M4 Pro. It’s $1,000 more than their 4TB kit but still $700 cheaper than Apple’s price.
