“Flashdance” looks amazing in 4K UHD
(3 1/2 stars for the film, 4 stars for the 4K UHD release)”Flashdance” is a 1983 romantic dance drama which was a huge hit grossing $201.5 million against a production of only $7 million. It was stylishly directed by Adrian Lyne from a script by Tom Hedley & Joe Eszterhas and was produced by Don Simpson & Jerry Bruckheimer. The soundtrack was equally huge going 6 times platinum in the United States & selling over 20 million copies worldwide. The lead of the film Jennifer Beals (who was only 18 years old at the time of filming) is positively radiant, dynamic, sexy and delectable throughout. While the movie itself by objective standards is cheesy, predictable & hackneyed, it is also a lot of fun and a true crowd pleaser. Guys will enjoy the amazingly toned female bodies on full display (Jennifer Beal’s incredible body and face truly are a work of art!) while women will enjoy the romantic aspects and female empowerment. It is energetic and engaging throughout its 97 minute running time. Most critics hated it at the time of its original release but audiences didn’t care about critics in this case. It also functions as a nice time capsule of the early 80’s and will prove quite nostalgic for people who grew up in that legendary decade.Warner Brothers initially released “Flashdance” on blu-ray back in 2013 featuring a nice transfer and some interesting extras. Paramount as part of their Paramount Presents line would reissue the film on blu-ray in 2020 featuring a director approved 4K restoration from the original camera negative which was an improvement on the 2013 disc. The frustrating aspect of the 2020 blu-ray release is that some extras were left off which were part of the 2013 release.For the film’s 40th anniversary, that 2020 4K restoration has been unleashed on a dual layer 66 gigabyte 4K UHD disc including HDR10 & Dolby Vision in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The bit rate does start out a bit lower than expected during the opening titles sequence but once the movie has started proper, the bit rate jumps into the 70’s for the most part occasionally getting into the low 80’s. While the 4K UHD transfer is a bit darker than previous bluray releases (the 2020 blu-ray is also included with this 4K UHD release), it also looks much more natural and lifelike overall. Both the HDR10 and Dolby Vision really make the image pop particularly during the multiple dance sequences in the bar. I did find the skintones and overall contrast/black balance to be slightly better with Dolby Vision enabled though those who only have HDR10 capable 4K players and/or tv’s will still be getting a superb image too. Detail is immaculate and every single pore and curve on Jennifer Beals’ perfect physique and lovely face is on full display. I do find the 4K UHD presentation a more than solid upgrade over the 2020 blu-ray release. I doubt the film looked this great during its original theatrical run.Audio options include:- English: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (48kHz, 24-bit)- German: Dolby Digital 2.0 (224 kbps)- French: Dolby Digital 2.0 (224 kbps)- Japanese: Dolby Digital 2.0I was really hoping that Paramount would have sprung for a new Dolby Atmos mix but that unfortunately was not the case.Subtitles options include English, English SDH, French, German, Japanese and Spanish.Extras are only on the included 2020 blu-ray as follows:- Filmmaker Focus: Director Adrian Lyne Discusses Flashdance- The Look of Flashdance- Releasing the Flashdance Phenomenon- Theatrical TrailerA digital code is also included and the release comes with a non embossed slipcover. A steelbook option is also available.Fans of “Flashdance” should be thrilled with how the film looks on 4K UHD disc. While the lack of a Dolby Atmos mix is disappointing, the lossless 5.1 mix still more than does the job. I do also feel that Paramount missed a huge opportunity to not only restore the missing special features from the 2013 blu-ray but to also add some new extras in celebration of the film’s 40th anniversary. The presentation of the film though is of utmost importance and in that respect the 4K UHD release is a winner. Anytime we can get vintage Jennifer Beals sexiness in 4K UHD is a good thing!

Pure 80’s Fun and Inspiration
Flashdance is an upbeat, feel-good movie about chasing your dreams no matter what life throws at you. With catchy music, fun dance scenes, and an underdog story, it’s the perfect movie to lift your spirits.

A forever classic
Edit: 11/30/23When I initially did my review back in 2021, I said how Flashdance was just an “okay” movie. I said how it had its good moments but it didn’t stand out to me. My 2021 viewing was my first time watching it. I don’t know what came over me, but I felt like watching it again in 4k when it finally came out in 2023. My 4k copy from bestbuy got damaged so I sent it back and rewatched my 2013 blu ray one more time. I’m so glad I got the urge to rewatch Flashdance because it absolutely blew me away on my second viewing. I regret calling it “just okay” because it’s truly the embodiment of a classic feel good movie. It has an innocence and purity that a lot of modern movies just can’t replicate. The opening scene alone with “what a feeling” playing as the main character Alex (played by Jennifer Beals) rides her bike around the city is now one of my favorites in cinema. It perfectly sets the tone for the movie. This movie was one of my mother’s favorites and while I didn’t get to see it with her unfortunately.. I do understand why she loved it so much. The tone, characters, acting, and especially the music, just works so perfectly together. I’m sure the music choice had more of an impact if you saw it back in the 80s, but it still holds up at showing you what song was popular back when this movie first released. I didn’t grow up in the 80s, but I easily recognized all the songs and it was great to feel how it can branch out to an extended audience this way. I would also like to add a warning that there’s a dance scene with strobing and flashing lights that lasts for a few minutes just incase anyone is epileptic or sensitive to that. I’m personally not epileptic or sensitive to scenes like that but I felt like that scene went way too heavy on those effects. It’s the scene where Alex (Jennifer Beals) dances to the song “Imagination” by Laura Brannigan. She has a painted face and is wearing a large red coat.Video quality is phenomenal for an 80’s movie with many scenes being vibrant and full of color with natural film grain. Sharpness isn’t the best but its not bad either as many scenes allow you to see a lot of details on both the actors and their clothes or even the locations themselves. I did feel like skin tones were probably the only main issue as some scenes had slightly oversaturated skin colors. There’s also 2 blu ray versions of this film. The one released in 2013 which is this one, and the one released in 2020 under the name “Paramount Presents: Flashdance”. I haven’t seen the 2020 version but the 2013 one is honestly still really good. The 2020 version is also included in the 4k combo pack that comes with the 4k and blu ray. Sound quality for this blu ray is really good. It has a surround soundtrack that plays everything crystal clear, especially the music scenes. I did feel like some scenes had minor inaudible lines/low tone of voice but these issues were fixed in the 4k version and I assume the 2020 blu ray as well.The 2013 blu ray is a very solid transfer, especially compared to other blu ray releases of older films at the time. I didn’t notice a huge leap in quality for the 4k which I think speaks for how good the blu ray has held up. I’d definitely recommend buying both if possible to see which one you prefer. Both have their pros and cons, but you honestly can’t go wrong with either.
