2023's best Blu-ray and 4K UHD box sets: John Wick, Star Trek: Picard, Jurassic World, and more
Also collector's editions of Titanic and JFK, plus genre collections from Warner Bros. and Paramount
Physical media may be devalued by some in our streaming-dominated world, but you’d be surprised how many great titles are only available on disc. Also, some titles can be so much more rewarding on DVD, Blu-ray, or 4K UHD, especially when they’re loaded with special packaging and bonus features. 2023 saw the release of some impressive box sets, from genre collections by Warner Bros. and Paramount to complete sets of movie franchises such as John Wick, Jurassic World, Fast & Furious, and David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy. There were also complete TV collections of fan favorites such as Westworld, The Walking Dead, and Star Trek: Picard. Plus, special collector’s and anniversary editions of Titanic and JFK remind us that packaged media offers something extra—something tangible—that streaming never will.
