7 new 4K Blu-rays from August 2026 to add to your collection
August 2026 has been another stacked month of 4K Blu-ray releases, and I've picked seven new titles to see if they're worth adding to your collection
In August 2026, seven new 4K Blu-ray releases are set to join collections. The discs include Project Hail Mary, based on the novel by Andy Weir, a schoolteacher awakening on a spaceship who must stop a harmful substance from destroying the Earth's Sun. Michael, the biopic of pop icon Michael Jackson, follows his life from the Jackson 5 to the 1980s Bad World Tour, starring Jaafar Jackson as his uncle.
Troy, an adaptation of Homer's Iliad focusing on the Trojan War, stars Orlando Bloom as Paris of Troy and is presented in a 4K restoration from Arrow Video. Each disc will be tested using an LG G6 OLED TV, Panasonic DP-UB820 player, and Samsung HW-Q990C soundbar. The discs will be evaluated for picture and audio quality, with no reviews of the films themselves.
