OMG! The 4K actually blots out details and totally changes the color pallet of the planets! They shouldn't mess with art!!!
The 4k version is a restoration that brings the film's original colors back. it also removes wires from the ships.
Actually that's how it's supposed to look before the constant transfers and restorations washed out the lighting effects. It's why you can't see the wires holding up the machines in 4k.
@@CompactRisk So Mars is blue?
@@CompactRisk What the fuck are you talking about. The 4K restoration completely screwed the entire color grading for this movie
Beautiful! But, I won’t do streaming movies anymore, I want my physical media. I hope the studios realize that serious movie enthusiasts and aud/videophiles want discs or whatever physical form is available. It seems that when i decide to sit down and steam a movie, so is everyone else in my neighborhood, plus all the kids doing their thing. The bandwidth takes a hit and I get to watch a movie with shudders, shakes, and pauses ... hate it. Hoping they’ll release this on UHD!
Soon Jeff !
My moonization July 7, 2020, right?
Jeff Crenshaw I’m with you on the physical media, Jeff. My library is DVD/Blu Rays and I’m able to take it with me to my friends mountain cabin.
I will do another comparison with the physical version to see the difference between the streaming version !
Serious moviephiles or just old boomers?
There's far to much of a green/blue tint that has been added to the 4k captures on this video for some odd reason. I own War of the Worlds 4k on iTunes and it isn't like that at all.
The Criterion Collection announced that they will be releasing the film on Blu-ray on July 7th, 2020!
Want war of the worlds 2005 on 4k br.
The DVD is surprisingly qualitative and the gain in sharpness with 4K is marred by insufficient brightness and suffers from an incomprehensible blue / green dominant. For me, this 4K version is very disappointing.
Le DVD est étonnamment qualitatif et le gain de netteté avec la 4 K est gâché par une luminosité insuffisante et souffre d'une dominante bleu/vert incompréhensible. Pour moi, cette version 4K est très décevante.
You are so right!
I'm sorry, but could you go in more detail what you mean? I mean you do realize film degrade over time meaning color can degrade, and also how old are you?
@@mdo7 I say that the quality supplement of 4K blu ray is very low compared to DVD. It looks more like computer processing with sharpness and contrast filters. The sharpness gain is very low (compared 3:10 with 3:20, 7:30 with 7:40), sometimes worse (3:50 with 4:00). But above all, the colorimetry is no longer the same with too often a dominant blue (0:50 vs 1:00, the red planet has turned blue!) and the images are much darker on the blu-ray (7:30 vs 7:40 or 1:10 vs 1:20).
I am 59 years old.
Also what country are you living in? Maybe the blu-ray copy you got is a Australian copy which Mars is blue. In the USA/North American version of the blu-ray, additional color correction has been done. The US/NA version done by Criterion has the Mars color to red. I'll quote blu-ray's review here:
"Criterion's upcoming release is sourced from a new 4K restoration that was completed by Paramount Pictures. However, there is additional color-correction work done on it that is not present on other releases of the restoration. On this release, when the film opens up Mars looks red(ish) now. On other releases, Mars looks blue(ish). There is additional color-correction work done on this release that is not present on other releases of the 4K restoration. On this release, when the film opens up Mars looks red(ish) now. On other releases, Mars looks blue(ish)."
So maybe the blu-ray video you're seeing on this YT video is not from Criterion's NA/US release, but from a earlier Australian BD copy that came out a year earlier.
@@mdo7 Oh, I don't talk about a blu-ray I got but the "Comparison of The War of the Worlds 4K HDR10 vs The War of the Worlds DVD Edition" video published on youtube ! That's why I won't buy the 4K version. I'm living in France and don't know which version I'm likely to get.
You had me excited for a second because I thought War of the Worlds was out on 4K Blu-ray.:(
Not for now Bill !
Those caps look great. Hopefully Paramount will reconsider and make a bunch of fans of this movie happy.;)
It's finally coming to Blu Ray now!
Me too. It's wrong to make the 4k version of iTunes look like a 4k Blu-ray disc. At least the restored version is now available on BD from Criterion.
Is it me or does anyone else think the 4K versions looks a bit worse than the DVD version? It's too dark.
Well we’re not watching actual 4K either. The contrast you speak of will be much cleaner on an actual 4K system. This is an upgrade with the exception of those odd color pushes.
So apparently on other forums, people are arguing your references are incorrect for the 4k version and probably needs an update with the newer release. Mars being an odd color is correct though.
Incorrect if HDR is not enabled. In addition, it's imperative to set the color temperature to zero in your settings.
Some scenes in the 4k looks better. My complaint would be the darker tone. Granted I'm comparing them while watching on a 1080p monitor without any hdr. One more thing, are we really meant to watch these movies in hdr mode? HDR changes the color tone and lighting, does it not?
The constant use of info images on the bottom left corner are a distraction to the images from the film (great quality). The images going across the screen don't help either.
Love your channel. Been looking for a side by side comparison for movies but all anyone does is do the exact same review without showing visuals. Keep it up! You got a new subscriber!
Thank you Kev and merry christmas 👍👍👍 !
Having downloaded this I have to say it's a substantial improvement over the DVD. most Prints we see today, including the DVD, were sourced from non Technicolor transfers from the original print and were timed far too bright , especially for the battle scenes that were meant to be at night or just pre Dawn. also the very bright transfer and digitization of the print made the wires much more apparent then they were when screened on film theatrically. I saw a beautiful Technicolor print in the early 1980s , and the wires were much less visible and the timing was notably darker
When does this come out in America on 4K?
For now, only on iTunes !
Criterion Blu-ray
Some of those 4k shots don't look right
Dear Peter
you may not get the same results because each TV is different depending on the model.
The way Anne Robertson looks at the drone is hilarious
I'm no expert, and certainly can't vouch for the accuracy of the stills here, but the 4Ks mostly look too dark, even if you try to adjust to them. Lots to like about the 4Ks though.
It's coming out July us once again no sign of it coming over to uk ???!!!😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks for doing these vids.
They show me when and when NOT to get the 4K versions.
This one is when NOT to.
DVD hands down much better
Why is the HDR darker than the DVD? Making it darker to hide the flaws in the film kinda defeats the point...
The colour grading looks seriously off.
this isnt on 4k disc just bluray what in sam hill is going on here
Dear Robert
This film actually exists in 4K and comes from amazon video prime: www.amazon.com/War-Worlds-4K-UHD/dp/B07S2RF3TM However, I just wanted to create the cover for the UHD disc.
I’m glad I read this comment!! I was about to pull my hair out trying to find the physical disc to purchase haha.
@@jfralick83 ITS COMING OUT NEXT WEEK ON 4K.
@@Mymoonization THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER.
I have this on VUDU. It looks and sounds amazing in 4k. There are sound effects I've never heard in the movie before. An example would be in the sequence when the military starts attacking the war machines after Silvia's uncle is killed. Are there new sounds added to the mix to enhance the experience? Either way, it sounds better than ever.
The War of the Worlds was released theatrically in 3 channel stereophonic sound. The audio was on a separate roll of 35mm full-coat mag that was interlocked with the picture. It was heard that way in most major cities throughout the country.
More info here: www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/322187-shane-blu-ray-in-166/?p=3940794
Sadly Paramount lost the original stereo mix and that's why we only got the mono version on previous release. However with this new beautiful 4K restoration of the movie Paramount also decided to improve the sound and decided to create a new stereo track mix including new sound effects based on what could have been the original and lost 3 stereo channel mix. So with this new mix you're basically closer to what people originally experienced in theatrer when the movie came out.
@@GautierRoux Then what's the story on the 2-channel stereo track that was on the 2005 DVD? That was the best the film has ever sounded, and they didn't have to go in and add sound effects that were never there before!
Plus, I can't for the life of me figure out why they've changed the main title cue to the inferior version from the soundtrack release where the percussion is out of sync.
Ok, first I'm watching this on a non HDR 1440p screen so Idk how this actually looks like in HDR and 4K. And second this is my opinion but I think the dvd version looks better but some parts in the 4K edtion looks pretty good like Jupiter, the attack on the machine, and that army guy after they nuked the machines those parts looks good and the black is pretty good and what I can see is that there isn't a lot of noise or it that just me? But what I don't really like about the 4K edition are the colors the colors don't feel right especially in the intro it's so blue why is it so blue? And yes the colors are deeper then in the dvd version obviously but they don't look and feel right. Exept the black levels.
Overall you are pretty much right.
However, for someone who does not have 4K technology with the HDR mode it's very difficult to do an objective analysis. That's why you see this kind of defect. But personally, I think it's the best version I've seen!
@@Mymoonization Ok so this is common with these kinds of transfering low resolutions videos (movies) to 4K and HDR10 (or Dolby Vision)
I would not say current but it's already an example with that one.
@@Mymoonization Oh alright
Bought a load of movies to stream but when I moved country the won’t let me watch them.
My mooniz..... There is no online information about this any 4K UHD set at the moment only the streaming 4K version (no FULL HD remastering only 4K) so why the cover picture of the UHD set including HDR sticker in your video?????
Have you watched the link I put below the video ?
@@Mymoonization yes i did it one hour ago
So please, take a moment and read about this 4K Version.
Cheers !
@@Mymoonization but the cover issue i still don't get it
This is a temporary cover because the film has been restored in 4K and HDR but only on iTunes ...... for the moment :)
Oh no, the colours on the 4K version are all wrong!
Dear Richie
It’s correct, however be careful that everyone does not see in the same way especially on different televisions because if they are calibrated by a professional the results will necessarily be different. If all the televisions had the same rendering then why sell so many brand according to you 😉 ?!
@@Mymoonization I'm on a calibrated Rec 709/sRGB standard color space LG 27in. LED display and most of the Caucasian skin tones in the 4K version are too rosey and saturated. I've been researching for some time if we're all seeing the same color and tone comparing theater screening to DVD to Blu-ray on a lot of restored old movies including The Wizard Of Oz and by and large we're all seeing the same image with slight variances in white balance but the skin tones in this 4K looks like either a bad edit decision or a color matrix/Look Up Table (LUT) issue. If it really looks as you've presented here viewing on my calibrated display, I'll settle for the DVD.
4K just looks darker I actually prefer the DVD
That's what I'm thinking after just watching this. I'm trying to decide on Amazon which dvd to purchase. The 2005 looks great...like I remembered it watchin it on tv late night back in the early 70's and I think about 10 yrs ago. I have never seen any strings holding the ships or whatever these people are talking about. The only scene that was really kinda lame all these years was the 3 first victims trying to say hi. The superimposed over a screen effect. But the rest of the movie I felt has held up over the decades very well. I just feel the 4k darkens to much out of the background and a couple of the hues to people's faces and the pink sky in the last pics....hm no. I'll stick to the 2005 HD dvd for $14 bucks. Hell for that price I can take a risk and buy another version and just play the best over all one. My only other concern is the screen size format..I thought all theater movies were a wider screen then the old 4:3 tv....This demo looked like the classic tv format. Where's the original "cinemascope" or "panavision", movie theater width? Hm.....I might hold off and keep looking around.
You guys watching with 4K HDR screen?
Amazing how often the color timing on blu rays is off. They can find gorgeous 35mm prints with perfect color for the DVD release of this movie, plus others like Kill Baby Kill, Dracula Prince of Darkness, etc. But sometimes something goes wrong on the blu.
Criterion got it right.
2005 DVD color look more natural , more warm, more pleasant
Yuck! If you like oversaturation and crazy color shifting then the 4K is the way to go. If you want the best visual experience, restored to its original theatrical presentation, then get the Criterion Collection Blu-ray release.
How did they take a movie from the 50s and put it in 4k?
Color restoration and wire removal using computers!!
They scan the film print in 4K resolution and then digitally restore it frame-by-frame.
As they did with The Wizard Of Oz they scanned original pristine and well preserved film negatives at high resolution. I'm not going to stream either due to limited bandwidth, complicated pay system and upgrade pipeline pushing tons of data through my home computer which I'm not going to do.
Critireon has it out on Blu ray from a 4k intermediate, which I bought. Looks about what the 4k on this vid shows, only better
Looks like the same exact crap with Mars blue!
Why did they bring this out in 4k ? Anything should look better then SDR lol another good review lol
Mars turns into a green planet on the 4k!
Looks amazing will get this 👍👍😻😻
Thanks for posting, but I dont buy it. Sorry iTunes. I'll wait for the bluray or 4k. Come on Paramount what are you waiting for?
Who splashed tomato juice over 4K version? LOL 😂 just look at the scene 6min. Marker, DVD is much better
Bluray.
Wow, better hang on the DVD release. That 4k release looks terrible.
This is one of the worst 4K's ever and Paramount should reisue this with high urgent. The colours don't match the original print and they used a 5.1 remix, instead of the original mono. I might return this to the store.
The skin tones etc seem worse..............like everybody has sun burn..............And it very dark......don't think I'll buy this one
Dear Paul
This is from one of the first 4K streaming. I will make a new comparison directly from this new physical 4K version. Stay tuned.
OK will do
Who did this ? it's awfull !
