Great video man! I made a video saying exacting what you're preaching. Glad I'm not alone.
I pay little attention to the "critics". I love movies for the actual movie first. Picture quality and sound are simply icing on the cake.
Agreed , just enjoy your room
I only own Master & Commander on DVD. I haven’t watched it in several year now. But, I do remember being impressed by it. I hope Sony can twist the arm of Disney to get that out on 4K! Such an amazing movie! :)
The big problem is that you know that the film companies can make better transfers and because of laziness/financial reasons they are very careless with the 4k releases. When you see how amazing some older movies are in picture and sound but then the same studio releases other movies that are almost always the best version of the movie but still not made with love and care. Missed opportunity I would say.
Good video 👍🎥🎞💿
well said, you've got the right attitude about all of this. It's supposed to be fun!
I watch movies to be entertained, not to criticize.
Interesting to hear your thoughts on Master and Commander. Ive never seen a dvd best a bluray in my system, but i believe you! Sometimes theres some magic going on with our systems. I made a recording from FM radio of a Smashing Pumpkins concert from 2000. Burned it to cd, and to this day, i swear ive never heard a better sounding live concert. Sometimes is magic. Cheers broseph.
I still think the dts laser disc of Jurassic park is superior to anything we have today!!!!
@@myhometheater7029 right on!!!
I think projectors are more forgiving with 4k. Tvs can just give so much detail that it's easier to nit pick. For me I look more for sound quality and bonus material than video quality these days.
Me too brother. I’m more into the sound because the picture is gonna be better.
Thanks for the video Chris. I think we are all critics to an extent but the truth is if your interested in a movie your gonna watch it regardless of the quality most 4k movies are the best version so I say it is what it is. I am still using an Epson Home Cinema 2350 and I use a 4k player and can see a noticeable difference from bluray disc's. I am waiting for 4k projectors pricing to come down before I buy one.
Top Gun Maverick looks and sounds incredible on 4k
Its fine if you feel this way, but I disagree. If I'm going to spend upwards of $40 on a movie, i want jt to be an "archival" quality with the best picture and audio possible. There are some movies (like the Greatest Showman or Ready Player One) that I probably wouldn't have bought on 4k if they weren't top-quality transfers. There are others (Like Terminator 2 or Pirates of the Caribbean) where I love the movie and would love to buy a 4k copy, but don't want to spend my hard earned money on a disappointing disc. I vote with my wallet. You all can too.
Interesting topic. I do think people online can have a tendency to trash things just bc they like to complain and put people down. I see that all over the place. Reviewers on the other hand, it's kind of their job. If everything is just good then what's the point? Some things are subjective and some things are definitely objective, but even the objective stuff is subjective in that not everyone cares about or notices those issues. But I dont think it's a big deal for reviewers to be critical. A lot of people may find it helpful and useful info, and it's also good to hold the studios to a higher standard. On the flip side if you're someone who really doesnt care about color grading changes, DNR, and any other effects that change the overall look of the movie then you can just purchase knowing you'll be happy with what you bought. Also, some people love collecting and want to buy as much as they can and others try to pick and choose for one reason or another. Overall I think most of it comes from a good place besides the people who trash things just because they enjoy it.
Lets get ready….Terminator 4k was just announced. The scrutiny will be level 1,000.
Also boogie nights and purple rain 4k on the way.
Great video Chris. Completely agree with your points.
Thanks i don't do fakebook ,is not worth the mentality on there
You got that right!!! Bunch of keyboard astrophysicists on there!!!
I’m with you on the complaining from most of the review ch.s! Terminator 2 was one I avoided for years because most if not all reviews said people looked like candles (waxy). A lot of reviews knocked lord of the rings. For me they looked really good. I’m definitely into the sound. When that falls short I’m really bummed. Anyway it’s nice to hear someone break from the majority.
Lotr was one of the best 4k releases ever!!!! T2 isn’t that bad and pirates of Caribbean isn’t bad either!!! Don’t listen to the naysayers
t2 is my fav film and have not bought it on 4k and have it on blu ray but on your review of said t2 i will buy it
As far as I'm concerned, people don't take into account the cost, effort and time that goes into restoration. They expect ecery catalogue release to look natural, yet at the same time brand new.
Just to pick a few examples from my formative movie watching years, Predator, Die Hard, The Goonies, Ghostbusters. These films, no matter what happens, will never look sharp and clear and impressive. There are limitations we have to accept. Would i like a Carlito's Way that looks like it was shot in 2024? No! Because it wasn't!
Right on
I agree with you my self I don’t care what people say if I like it I like it .. I think u said before that it like a but hole every body has one .. lol…T2 and pirates of the Caribbean are amazing movies .. keep up the great content my friend…
You seem cool
@@PIPERBOYWILLIAMS thank you
I thought that pirates movie looked great on my TV too. No issues LCD Sony.
I got Footloose on 4K and enjoyed it. Fun 80s movie! Later I thought I'd watch some reviews on the transfer and it got bad reviews. Huh! I'm still keeping it. And it's technically the best transfer of it yet. I love the idea of 4K, cause it can nearly capture the picture that the filmmakers originally captured on 35mm film. But, unless you have a copy of an actual 35mm film reel, none of us can say if it's accurate. There are specific popular movies that get people complaining, saying the studio did this or that to it after scanning it. But all these people are going off of their memory or just regurgitating what others say online. The film reel is the source of truth and we don't have access to it. Then there's the folks going crazy about James Cameron's movies. I don't get it. They love his movies, but are trash talking him like he's an awful person who doesn't care. I can understand the passion, but if you're gonna spread ideas about someone and their product, at least have some sources to back up what you're saying. I can accept a negative review of a lousy or mediocre transfer. I'll decide from there if I want the 4K or keep my blu ray. But I can't stand people saying things that are not true or they just can't prove it... Well, that's all for now. Have a great weekend!
You nailed it!!!
For me, the best video reviewer is Shane Lee, he gives the video and audio of the movie, no more, no less!
Yes he does good even though I don’t agree with most of his reviews.
I think tvs, resolution, refresh rates, atmos-immersive type audio have come sooooo far since the early days of dvd. Ive had some releases ive been dissatisfied with in some way, but for the most part im usually blown away by these new transfers and especially the audio.
Ive never gotten over how neutered the lightsabers sound in Revenge of the Sith bluray and 4k disc. That is the worst sounding star wars movie for home theater. But its still good. Thats the point. Even a mediocre release is way better than the best vhs or dvd release. Dvd depending on the player was an upgrade from vhs, but still flawed. 4k is great, but if bluray was the final disc format, id still be happy. Cheers all.
Thanks for the video true
True lies is good. T2 also looks better than blu ray.
Some people are just never gonna be happy with what they have
Are we critical of something I pay money for? Let me see, my steak was overcooked, am I too critical or do I send it back? My brand new car has a weird wheel wobble, do I not take it back to the dealer? My brand new TV has a bunch of stuck pixels, do I not request a new TV?
I had a badass jvc projector that took a dump after a few years, and not even the manufacturer could fix it. Told me there was nothing wrong with the unit. Worst, most excessive purchase of my life, and never never again for me. Tvs are great nowadays
Hey Chris have you check out "Kingdom of Heaven" (2005) blu ray directed by ridley scott
Yes sir I accidentally ordered the dvd then I ordered the Blu-ray! So I have both!!!
Wouldn't it be a great 4k
