The 2012 Blu-ray release had serious flaws and it seems this new 4K Ultra HD release may be worse. Arriving in a 1.85:1 HEVC 2160p (4K UHD) Dolby Vision encodement, the film suffers from serious softness and at times even looks out of focus. There are serious issues with grain suppression, which can be seen really early on, such as when Steve Martin misses the taxi and then is seen getting off the bus – his face looks like wax. This is an ongoing occurrence in the film. In the scene with Martin and Candy in the motel room as Martin begins to get annoyed with Candy, both of their faces started to look very smooth, losing all texture. The application of Dolby Vision brings very little to the image. Colors look about the same as on the Blu-ray and contrast is average at best, actually suffering a bit of crush on nighttime shots of the city and streets, which are the only ones that show a bit of specular highlight ‘pop.’ The Audio Planes, Trains & Automobiles sounds a whole lot better than a Chatty Cathy doll. For the most part, this is a dialogue film that has little need for Deleted and Extended Scenes – Recently discovered in the archives of writer, producer, and director John Hughes (1080p; 01:15:27):

I cannot really recommend this as an upgrade and was really wondering to myself if Paramount somehow issued the incorrect transfer of this release. If I could just use a “head scratching” emoji to sum up my thoughts, I would. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is out on 4K Ultra HD November 22, 2022, from Paramount

John Hughes: Life Move Pretty Fast (HD, 54 min): Broken into two sections, the makers offer a very entertaining and touching tribute to the filmmaker, who has become an iconic 80s figure for many people. The first part, called "The Voice of a Generation," brings together several of the actors and crew members who had the opportunity to work with him and get to know him. It also traces most of his career from writer at National Lampoon and film director to quite literally being the voice of a generation. The second segment, titled "Heartbreak and Triumph," is a continuation of the first that not only looks at Hughes's career and the many great films he left behind, but also discusses his writing and filmmaking style. Retrospective interviews, once again, give viewers some insight into the man he was as well as sharing experiences of working with him. This is a great piece altogether and one Hughes fans will thoroughly admire. The heart of the bonus features included in this release is the over-an-hour’s worth of deleted and extended scenes on a bonus Blu-ray that were recently discovered in John Hughes’ archive. Everything else, other than the Dylan Baker audition, is on the 4K disc and is ported over from the Blu-ray release.
