Tim Burton’s movies all have a sense of humor to them, but 1996’s Mars Attacks! is one of his more straightforward comedies. Having now reached its 30th anniversary, the movie is receiving a new 4K Ultra HD release, featuring a Dolby Vision/HDR transfer and a Dolby Atmos audio track.
Based on the Topps trading cards, Mars Attacks! reveals what happens when “Earth is invaded by Martians with unbeatable weapons and a cruel sense of humor” (per the official description). The all-star cast includes Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Michael J. Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker, Natalie Portman, Danny DeVito, Martin Short, Lukas Haas, Rod Steiger, Pam Grier, Tom Jones, and Jack Nicholson in a dual role.
