Great review, John! I’m currently working on my review for this and both yours and John’s reviews about Apocalypse Now are incredible! I think I’ll mention some of my top 4Ks in my video too, some excellent picks, mate!

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Hi Leon, yeah really interested to see that 6 disc version you have as I'm going to get it now after really enjoying The Final Cut 🤩🤩👌👌 sounds great mate 😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@blu-raybenn4854]

Hi John, I think a lot of people don´t enjoy Apocalypse Now the first time round as much as they thought they would, but, like me, after a second viewing, and with a bit of investigation into the film, you really appreciate it. I would love to see it in 4K, especially as you say the picture quality is amazing, and the soundtrack is stunning. Def one of those films I will be picking up when I upgrade my TV to 4K. Great review and video mate, hope you are having a nice Sunday.

[@halcyondaystunes]

Great video mate..Arrived here via Movie Collector and Leon...Great Channel and I'm looking forward to going through the rest of your videos.😃

Great review John. I hope you start putting amazon affiliate links in the description section to the audio visual equipment you use and the blu rays themselves! Keep up the good works.

Hi, thanks for the great comment, actually never thought of that mate!! So could I literally link these in? Be great to be able to give heads up and short cuts! 🤔😊😊👍👍👍

[@carlinio9]

Great video John. This is such a classic movie. I always remember the droning noise of those cealing fans. Good to see it so high up. I’ve still got Jaws to watch. Speak soon.😀👍

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Cheers Carl, yeah the ceiling fans were quite a feature in it! It's one of the best I've seen mate 🤩 cheers mate 🤩🤩👌👌

Hey John..... just a heads up....The Thing 4k will be released on the 22nd of September in Germany....😉

Cheers John, the bloke from Mondo Chelloveck appreciates that 🤩 👌👌 it's been great to look at this movie after you talking about it, I might have never gone back to it if I hadn't been pointed in its direction, but I'm really glad I did 🤩 cheers again 😊😊😊👍👍👍

Hi John, Good hearing your fav 4K titles currently, "Apocalypse now" is one of the greatest war movies ever made & visually stunning to view, the helicopter scenes are breathtaking, when watching this movie as a teen on the BBC i knew i watching something that any movie fan must watch, in my opinion the full cut was a little too long & i usually prefer the cut as it was fully filmed, the theatrical cut is preferred for me. I totally agree that the movie really took off from the boat journey, a amazing cast of actors that makes it a even bigger masterpiece of a movie. I truly believe that a lot of war movies that came after tried to emulate the style of the helicopter scenes, for example "Rambo- First Blood Part 2" for an example, excellent review Sir.

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Many thanks for watching Carlos, I agree totally!! I'm so glad I went back to this again because I finally "got" the movie!! I think I saw it way too young and like yourself I knew it was a special movie but it kind of went over my head!! The spectacle of the 4K presentation made me realise how absolutely amazing this movie was!! Yeah totally one of a kind and I'm interested in getting the other cuts and checking them out as I think a shorter version might be better! Cheers again Carlos 🤩🤩👍👍

Jaws is fantastic. Great video as usual.

Cheers Steve, appreciate you watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍

[@MattVs_Movies]

Jaws is fantastic on 4k 👍 I do think Blade runner 2049 is brilliant on 4k and the Godzilla v Kong is a stunning 4k release this year one of the best so far for me 👍 Great video 👍 😎

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Hi Matt, yeah I agree with Bladerunner 2049!! Its incredible, I'm going to update my list of 4Ks and where I put them all, I'm sure Bladerunner 2049 and the awesome Godzilla vs Kong will be one of the contenders for top 5 placing!! Cheers mate 🤩🤩👍👍

[@phil4kbaker720]

Jaws wins hands down great video John apocalypse now is a great transfer and I like your other picks too 👍

[@southendonseaarts]

Totally agree Apocalypse now deserves the praise the Dolby atmos mix is outstanding I have a 7.14 setup.

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Yeah it's unreal how good it is!! That sounds an amazing set up, I'm thinking of upgrading mine next year hopefully 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍

[@bigpete8567]

I’ve got a 5.2.2, that 2nd bass really deals with those low node spikes when setting up room. I now have a flat line from 120hz down to 16hz before roll off, sounds wonderful.

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

I'm not going to pretend I understand all that Big Guy 😲😊 but I didn't realise a set up like that was possible, I always thought that the subwoofer bass was 1 on its own......I have a lot to learn mate!! 🤔🥴🤩🤩👍👍

[@bigpete8567]

@@MondoChelloveckMovies the 5 is the centre, front left and right, and the side rears. I have 2 12” subs front centre and rear centre and 2 Atmos on the ceiling in the middle, and a 130” screen, it’s pretty sweet!

[@southendonseaarts]

@@MondoChelloveckMovies I think I will do a video on it as I think it might prove useful to some film enthusiasts there's a lot of emphasis on the 4K TV but the external sound it where a lot of the real magic can be found.

[@IaintheSlyFox]

Some great titles you've put in your list. However, you did NOT put Grease in that list. I'll repeat, you did NOT put Grease in that list. You and every viewer just think you did. That transfer doesn't come close to even being decent, let alone good or fantastic. The sound is a different story and is very good. Would love to see Suspiria on UHD though. Sounds like that one is actually fantastic. Keep up the great work as always, mate 👍🤗😊!

[@nathanvickery2170]

Hi John enjoyed the video, what is your display are you watching on led or oled cheers again

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Hi Nathan, thanks for watching 😊 I have a Sony Bravia 4K it's a few years old so I'll be upgrading it next year , at this point I'm hoping to go 8K 🤞🤞 cheers again 🤩🤩👍👍

[@halcyondaystunes]

@@MondoChelloveckMovies Really try for an OLED mate...I got my first 2 years ago and I don't think I could ever go back to normal LED after seeing how amazing the Black's and contrast is. Until mini led comes down in price nothing touched OLED.. They don't go as bright but as many reviews state, movies average nits are not going to be a constant 2000nits.

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Cheers Halcyon, yeah I think OLED is probably top of our list now.... if we look now we will end up buying one like you do haha 🤣 definitely going for a complete refurb to the TV etc next year 👌 cheers for the info 🤩🤩👍👍
