After Brian De Palma successfully delivered on the cult series ""Kobra, take over!"" in the movie houses world over four years earlier, in 2000 they switched to the Chinese action master John Woo (A Better Tomorrow, Bullet in the Head, Hard Boiled). Whereas Robert Towne had to write the script based on the action sequences already planned in detail by the director. These scenes were also the reason for some disagreement between Tom Cruise and John Woo as they wanted to realize their ideas about the action in the film.

When the film begins, IMF super-agent Ethan Hunt's (Tom Cruise) new mission leads him to Sidney after a flying visit to Seville. There he is said to be chasing away the ex IMF employee Ambrose (Dougray Scott) a deadly virus that he stole during a spectacular airplane robbery. Ambrose's crafty thief and ex-girlfriend Nyah (Thandie Newton), and Hunt's old pal Luther (Ving Rhames) are said to help Hunt before the virus breaks free ...

More fun? 4K Blu-ray and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (48kHz, 24-bit) ensure that!

A lizard absurdly enlarged by atomic radiation attacks a fishing boat off the coast of Japan, only one crew member survives, but stubbornly stammered only one word: Godzilla. The military and the secret service immediately go in search of the being, not realizing that the monster is closer to them than they might be aware of...

Here's stab in the dark: Biologist Niko Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick), who deals with the radioactive radiation, is targeted at the dangerous mutants, with the support of the French secret agent Philippe Roache (Jean Reno). Together, the two men make an appalling discovery: Godzilla's unruly anger is no accident. To ensure the survival of mankind, action must be taken quickly and radically.

Roland Emmerich's Godzilla is an action film from 1998. This is a free remake of the Japanese classic of the same name from 1954, which is now available on 4K Blu-ray and Dolby Atmos. Still, what seems like a clever marketing plan at first can turn into rust quickly, not gold...

While Roland Emmerich let the President himself climb into the cockpit in his Independence Day as an experienced fighter pilot putting up a show against the aliens, Wolfgang Petersen did it in Air Force One, a thriller from 1997 starring Harrison Ford (US President), Gary Oldman (the villain), and Glenn Close as United States Vice.

An instant box office hit, Air Force One depicts the jet fortress being kidnapped by terrorists on its way to the Russian capital where James Marshall (Harrison Ford) is going to to pronounce his zero-tolerance on terrorism. The irony of it is that a group of terrorists led by Ivan Korshunov (Gary Oldman) kidnap his plane and took his family hostage threatening to kill hostages at will. Seemingly, a no-way-to-run kind of situation. Not this time. The action is not something Air Force One can brag about. Everything is utilitarian to a point where it hurts. Once you find yourself in a middle of this movie, things just can not go wrong. The president can hide at the last second and is now planning a counterattack. So the standoff begins...

The film is now available in 4K Ultra HD / Dolby Atmos, which makes the whole story even more exciting – to cut to the chase, its the entirety of the designs!

In the epic sequel to the franchise, “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” the two titans unite once again to confront a new threat that could destroy the Earth. Godzilla and Kong, having overcome their differences, are now forced to fight side by side against a powerful enemy whose appearance threatens the existence of all life. The movie combines impressive special effects and a gripping story that promises an exciting cinematic experience for fans of both classic and modern monster movies.

In the 1992 film Bad Lieutenant, Harvey Keitel plays an unprincipled and morally decayed New York City cop immersed in a world of drugs, alcohol and corruption. Investigating the brutal rape of a nun, he faces internal struggles and questions of faith, redemption and forgiveness. This powerful dramatic thriller by Abel Ferrara explores the darker sides of human nature and questions the notion of justice.

Directed by Luc Besson, "Nikita" is a gripping thriller that follows the transformation of a young, drug-addicted criminal into a highly trained government assassin. After being sentenced to death for her crimes, Nikita (played by Anne Parillaud) is given a second chance by a covert government agency. Under the strict guidance of her mentor, Bob (Tchéky Karyo), she undergoes intense training to become a lethal operative. As she navigates her new life, Nikita struggles with her violent past and the desire for a normal existence. This film is a compelling blend of action, drama, and suspense, showcasing Besson's distinctive style and Parillaud's powerful performance.

In the sci-fi thriller Species II (1998), humanity faces a new threat from outer space. Astronaut Patrick Ross (Justin Lazar) returns to Earth from a mission to Mars, unaware that he has been infected with alien DNA. Now he is transformed into a deadly hybrid that seeks to reproduce and destroy. Agent Preston Lennox (Michael Madsen) and scientist Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger) team up to stop him before he sows chaos and death on the planet.

Like Roland Emmerich and Wolfgang Petersen, the Dutchman Paul Verhoeven is made for Hollywood. He knows no fear of contact with complex production methods and garish comic book entertainment. Robocop (1987), Total Recall (1990) and Starship Troopers (1997) are among the best that science fiction cinema produced during this phase. Fanboy dreams, great special effects, innovative stories and brilliantly staged action mixed with dark visions of the future that denounce the mercilessness of capitalist principles with barely concealed sarcasm and, in beautiful chronology, outline a social development, at the end of which the loss of Democracy stands. Here we go...

The 25th century. Democracy has been abolished and people live in an authoritarian world federation in which only those civil rights who commit to military service are granted. This is not the only reason why Rico (Casper van Dien), Diz (Dina Meyer), Carmen (Denise Richards) and Carl (Neil Patrick Harris) are drawn to the armed forces. She also lures adventure or simply the desire to stay close to her sweethearts.

In Paul Verhoeven's action-packed war satire Starship Troopers, four teenagers are drawn to the war against beetle aliens. But the supposed adventure becomes a bloody nightmare – now enjoy on 4k Blu-ray and Dolby Atmos!

It's hard to believe that Starship Troopers with its criticism of propaganda and totalitarianism was misunderstood by the US reviewers at the time. They let themselves be lured into the trap by the show values of the Riefenstahl look – basically like the young soldiers who storm their own doom with a great hurray.

In a fight with a student, teacher Garfield from Brooklyn is injured by several knife sticks. A similar picture emerges when he resumes work in Los Angeles a year later: Violence has long been a reality in the classroom. But this time he is determined to face aggressive students with harshness.

From the criminal who has already been convicted to the schoolyard prostitute, everything is available that has little to do with learning. When one of the students murdered his colleague's dog, Trevor strikes back – and with it the brutal kids with their weapons...

One Eight Seven is something like the evil variant of Dangerous Minds and describes the classrooms of American high schools as theaters of war, like melting pots of different cultures that are already not friendly to each other and even less respectful of the teachers.

One Eight Seven is a 1997 drama by Kevin Reynolds starring Samuel L. Jackson, John Heard and Kelly Rowan. At the box office, Kevin Reynolds (Waterworld, Robin Hood) film was not exceptionally successful but was able to reach its audience on video. Extensively restored thriller from 1997 is now available on 4k Blu-ray & DTS 5.1.

In Mission: Impossible, the secret organization IMF finds that it has a mole in its ranks. Only Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) can unmask a traitor.

Jim Phelbs, head of the CIA's IMF (Impossible Missions Force), is commissioned to be there with his team when a traitor from the agency's ranks steals the so-called NOC list. This contains the aliases of all CIA agents working undercover in Eastern Europe. As the traitor wants to hand over the list to his buyer, both are arrested. But the elaborate plan to monitor and secure the list goes wrong ...

However, what the first part has in advance of the successors is the inimitable structure of suspense and tension. The logistical planning and (failed) implementation in Prague is already captivating but is even surpassed by the break-in into the Langley vault. The scene that has become a legend by now, in which Cruise penetrates from above into the room monitored by lasers, can hardly be missed in nail-biting fever.

Mission: Impossible is an agent film from 1996 by Brian De Palma with Tom Cruise, Jon Voight, and Emmanuelle Béart now on 4k Blu-ray and Dolby Atmos!
