Die Hard (1988) 4K UHD Blu-ray Review!

[@Babylon5Lurker5]

Love the movie. Top ten favorites. Disappointing to hear about the sound (I haven't actually opened my 4k yet). And yes it is definitely a Christmas movie. All you have to do is look at the setup and the dynamic of what is happening in their personal lives. Christmas is all part of it.

I enjoy your content. I would like it though if in your reviews you would advise if a film is worth the cost of the upgrade. So for instance I already have this on blu ray but the question is, is it worth an upgrade?

[@waynerobinson2524]

Hi Adam thanks for the review of Die Hard on 4K. When they first announced that Die Hard was coming to 4K I got excited, when they released it without bumping up the audio I was disappointed and therefore I avoided it. To me the upgrade is only half done if you do the video then you must do the audio making either Atmos or DTS:X and as you said that Die Hard is certainly worthy of an audio upgrade. I already own the complete series of Die Hard on Blu-ray anyway but it would be nice to have all of them come to 4K but now that is up to Disney and who knows what will happen.

[@peachiekeen1565]

I have the 4K. The picture looks better than the regular Blu ray. I would like DH 3 and 4 on 4k.

[@MovieGuy365]

I’d be happy with 2 & 3 on physical 4K.

[@LILGHETTI]

I'm still hoping they will release all the die hard movies on 4k!! Oh wait Disney...

[@jackdennis3511]

They probably will do 4K HDR for the rest of the Die shards , but likely only available as a streaming option. I do think the fans of physical media need to step up and loudly tell Disney to cut the shit and keep producing 4K Physical media. Of all the studios I think they can afford it.

[@jackdennis3511]

In fact they do have all 5 Die Hard’s on 4K digital. I’m n the 4th one now and the first one is the weakest as far as the picture quality and HDR. 2 and 3 look great .

[@noahmeme2]

I think the sound is fine. I just bought the 4k and watched it for the first time. Amazing film

[@tdrabik77]

LOVE your reviews! I completely agree with everything you said about this movie. Thanks and Merry Christmas :)

[@joebuttigieg5393]

Will the rest of the die hard moves be release in 4K in the future.

[@ethanberry9846]

Its the best its looked. I wouldnt use this disc as a showcase but what 4k film would you use to showcase your home theatre?

[@mrmotown1004]

Yes. It’s decent but Kinda a bummer and no Atmos either 😩

[@georgeharris9873]

It's too bad that this does not contain the ''EXTENDED BRANCHING'' feature that restores the slightly longer version of the ''POWER SHUT-OFF' scene. For that, keep your ''5 STAR COLLECTION'' 2 disc d.v.d.

[@danrolinson1213]

Love the fact that Die Hard 2 is on the Apple store in 4K, but not out on physical media.

[@jimcameron1234]

All are 4K on iTunes

[@plasticspoon0101]

Are you gonna get the Midsommar DC Special edition? It has Dolvy vision.

[@MovieGuy365]

I missed the initial pre order window so I’m on the list when it restocks.

[@Dom74-y9z]

Can you review the other films in this series to please

[@joebuttigieg5393]

Is the move Cutthroat Island with Geena Davis and Matthew Modine in 4 k or not.

[@MovieGuy365]

Not yet.

[@theStranger666]

Alan Rickman was a charismatic villain in films like Quigley Down Under and Robin Hood, but do you agree that Die Hard is his best film? I almost felt sorry when he fell in slo-mo with that anguished look on his face! 🙁

[@MovieGuy365]

I would tie his performance between Die Hard and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

[@radfordrams4909]

Wow, 😲”A-“4k picture quality for “Die Hard” & did we watch the same movie?🤔lol!

[@MovieGuy365]

I’ve seen Die Hard on every format and this is the best it has looked.

[@citizen3000]

Handsome guy

[@JASONXMARIELA]

Atmos would just add height channel.... Don't know what you're talking about atmos would make it "stronger" atmos wouldn't add any LFE either. Saying things like this really disqualifies you.

[@MovieGuy365]

You do realize that dts and Dolby Atmos would have different encoded audio? Saying Atmos just adds “height channel” disqualifies your comment. Have a good day.

[@JASONXMARIELA]

@@MovieGuy365 You do realize that dts has a higher bit rate? And yes Atmos in itself just adds height channels. The sound track format doesn't dictate the how "powerful" it will be. They can choose to cut and boost frequency and gain as they please to make it more or less "powerful". The could redo the whole sound track from the ground up in dts or true hd and could make it better or worst. Saying atmos would make it more "powerful" or better is just completely wrong.

[@MovieGuy365]

No, Atmos does not equal “more powerful” automatically. Look at the Disney 4K atmos offerings, they are mixed very low compared to the DTS 7.1 tracks. It’s all who produces the tracks for that particular movie. Die Hard, in my opinion, has a dated audio track that should be upgraded. Whether it’s an Atmos, DTS X, an upgrade would have made it arguably better.

[@JASONXMARIELA]

@@MovieGuy365 exactly! But you don't say that in the video. You said atmos would make it more "powerful"
