  • Avoid these 4K Blu-ray releases and save your money! These few discs are some of my least favorite from the new 4K UltraHD format, and are not worth an upgrade over their Blu-ray counterparts in my opinion.

    2001 and The Shining look so good because Kubrick's personal assistant Leon Vitali is involved. Mr.. Vitali worked with Kubrick for decades and knows better than anyone alive how the films are supposed to look. He also is nearly as exacting as Kubrick.

    What you were saying, about the whole porting bluray tranfers over to 4k, reminds me of the crap that happened when the remastering of music trend really started to kick in. And some record labels were caught just increasing the volume of old masters instead of really giving it the royal treatment to make it sound its best. Pure laziness and greed. 👍👍

      2 reasons. 1: 4k discs are typically region free and Criterion are snide af about their films being sold in other countries. 2: Their blu rays are already of the highest possible quality putting it on a larger disc isn't going to make a difference.

I love movies, i have a roughly 400 blu-ray collection and i've wanted to "step-up" to 4K, for most of my favorite movies. I don't have a 4K player yet but i'll be buying the next PS5 when it releases at the end of the year and since it includes a 4K player, i thought i should start collecting those 4Ks right now. I've watched a few of your videos and they're a great help to "get started"... So, thanks again ! ;-)

      @pungisotu 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@Gmen2010champs depends. Just make sure they don't send you the 2006, 2009 or 2017 discs by mistake. It tends to cost a few dollars more than the 2009 disc (most common one). It has the same transfer but no DNR, which is why it's superior.
      The 2015 disc is missing a commentary from the Skynet Edition, but according to the blu-ray.com forums it is on the Canadian steelbook edition from Mondo. In fact, it is on the regular Canadian edition as well. Its no big deal though, but if you have to have all the commentaries on BD then you'll want it. Here is a thread about it if you want to read: forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=262411
      Worth noting is the 3D Blu-ray of T2. I haven't seen it, since I don't have a 3D TV, but the reviews I've read say it's good inspite of its DNR use.

      @christopherbrown5023 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If 4K Blu-ray was all about "corporate greed", then 4K discs would no longer be available. 4K Blu-ray doesn't generate much revenue, for the studios. I'm very thankful physical media is still an option. Besides, the studios have already been paid for ALL their discs ordered by retailers (from their distributors). Even if a disc doesn't sell, the studio has already been paid. It's the retailer that takes the loss.

    Completely disagree with the Aladdin transfer. It definitely is an upgrade over the blu ray. T2 was also a decent upgrade over the bluray.

    James Cameron oversaw the 4K remaster and HDR grading himself. It was his choice to remove the film grain, so anyone saying that the grain missing is a bad thing is just wrong. James Cameron did not intend for the grain to be there but shooting digitally in 1990 wasn't a thing yet. I absolutely loved the 4K transfer of T2 and have zero regrets buying it. Watching it in 4K is how the director intended it to be. If you love grain then this disc isn't for you and if you are a grain hater like myself, then this is the version to own.

      Disney Plus HDR is not what the industry calls "HDR10." It's still bt.2020 and 10 bits, so that's why they're calling it HDR, and rightly so. 10 bits offers better dynamic range and the wider color space does too. "HDR10" adds metadata that tells the minimum darkness and maximum brightness of the picture. That's all it is.

    • @timramich
      @timramich 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      And when it comes to discs, you won't find bt.2020 without the HDR10 flags. It's either real HDR10 or SDR bt.709 (Bad Santa 2). I don't know why, as there is no spec saying they can't be bt.2020 without HDR10. That's what makes the Disney Plus content kind of bastardized.
