I wish that all studios, who are going to put a movie onto the 4K market & have a poor original source. Make the hard decision and not release the film. I was looking forward to Planes & Platoon this year but after reviews decided not to invest in these classics. Great video Adam. New collectors into the 4K format should always do there research

The delay/glitch in the Blu-Ray from Disney/Apple for the Peter Jackson “Get Back” was handled very poorly! Also where is the 4K version of this???? Also A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation 4K pictures are great,, but what does it take to finally get an audio upgrade for both???!

Heat was a controversial release on 4k this year, I didn't think it was too bad persinally, but I can get some comments saying its overly dark, dosent really pop and the HDR makes day time scenes look dusk, I personally felt a little underwhelmed with it despite the overall extra resolution and clarity, I felt this should of been a winner to compliment the 1080p definitive edition disc, the HDR didn't really improve things vastly from the blu ray that I could see, it appeared more grey and a little flat in alot of scenes, the same sound mix was imported over too but no issue there really as its a solid audio but could of benefited more from Dolby Vision and an Atmos track!

A pretty good selection. I've seen a lot of the ones you mentioned and agree that they are problematic or downright poor. I'd add anything colour graded by VDM Labs in France, particularly StudioCanal titles. I'm particularly talking about Red Sonja and Raw Deal. The scans are fine but the colour gradings are totally sh1thouse. Silver Salt Restoration in the UK also do work for StudioCanal and do amazing work and don't screw up the colour grading. For example their work on Don't Look Now, The Servant and The Ladykillers was exceptional. So maybe StudioCanal need to send some UK colour graders over to France to show them how to do it properly and to respect the original intent of the cinematographer. Red Sonja and Raw Deal on 4k now look like digitally rendered video game cut scenes. Just totally awful and very disappointing. I don't know why they even bothered, they may as well have just stuck to blu ray because those older scans in 2k look far superior to these new 4k efforts (or lack thereof).

Poltergeist should not be on this list. It was a fabulous 4K. I disagree with you whole heartedly on upgrading audio. With films that are 30+ years old, they need to stay 2.0 or even mono tracks, because those are the authentic ways in which those films were heard. When you make new mixes of mono tracks or even 2.0 stereo tracks, you always lose something.

If you have a shitty, grainy dvd pixel, its not going to make it better. But if you have a film like the revenant, in 4k its cystal clear, the stream looks like your actually walking in it in the opening scene. And the fires and embers, are so realistic its like theres a fireplace in your tv. Iove my C9 but at 2099$ it wasnt cheap. I paired mine with a nakamichi shockwafe sb. Sony ES 1100 4k player.

My 65" OLED TV's image just hovers in the room once i turn off the lights. I have black curtains around my room to add to the effect. OLED has true blacks, can't see any bars before or above image when there is letterbox. OLED will give better performance for dark scenes and black levels but it's extremely expensive the larger you go. 65" is the limit of affordability for me. Would love a 83" OLED or larger but too expensive. If you have the room for large projector/screen then may be worth going that route. In my normal sized room (18ft x 10ft x 9 ft), 65 inch OLED properly positioned is spectacular in a darkened room.

I pre-ordered it, but since I didn't trust Disney, I kept it sealed. Sure enough, when the screenshots and reviews came out, I saw that the 4K was so badly handled that it actually looks significantly WORSE than the Blu Ray! I was heartbroken and incredibly disappointed and returned the 4K :(

A bad Blu ray or 4K transfer is companies shooting themselves in the foot. The whole idea of a higher res format means superior to DVD. And 4K is supposed to be superior to blu ray. No exceptions. Selling me anything less than that is consumer fraud and a rip off. Imagine getting repeatedly burned on "wax fests" when you are promised ultra high def. "We know the specs say that your pickup truck has a 335 horsepower v8 for towing 7000lbs, but it's actually a 2.6 liter 4 cylinder with 160 hp for towing 3,000lbs" Wait...what?

DNR can serve a purpose if used sparingly or responsibly. But it seems many of these big studios and some boutiques overly rely on it to clean up entire movie prints and scrub their grain when they shouldn't. This can often enhance certain transfers with sharpness and contrast but remove any fine details at the same time. You'll likely lose more than minor imperfections and blemishes.

The only film I can think of that I've got in my collection that I feel is a real letdown, is Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country. Next time I watch it, I'll watch the blu ray version instead. It was like watching a bad dvd

How do you check the bitrate on a 4k? When I hit display on my remote, it shows input and output, so to speak. I see around 4 Mbps in the input but nothing showing in the output end. I'm wondering is there something wrong?
@alexfernandez8083
@alexfernandez8083 Жыл бұрын
Not all players will show the video bitrate. 4 Mbps is your audio output. A 4k disc shouldn't go under 65 Mbps but it all depends on how good the compression was optimized you can have lower bitrates but still have less compression artifacts than a higher bitrate encode.

Did Disney fix the Pirates 4k? I saw now where they are releasing the whole series on 4k and remembered how Curse was rated, soo wondering if they fixed it or just made more of the same crap?

Agree with your selections. Paramount in particular are hopeless. Some of their 4k masters may be OK for streaming - but they aren't acceptable for physical media. We pay the premium for 4k disc quality. Paramount aren't delivering. They need to sort themselves out or get out of the 4k physical media business and license out.

Odd that Fatal Attraction looked egregiously DNR'd, when the PP blu ray that derived from the 4k mastered OCN is nice and grainy. And Disney has become a physical media bulldozer... they just destroy every movie they put out. With weak audio, and questionable video mastering. Sad that they used to be a physical media dynamo back in the DVD and blu ray days.
