Also, the blu ray for the “Sky Net” edition of T2 is just terrible. The 4K isn’t anything to write home about either but the blu ray is awful. It’s a compression nightmare, with 3 cuts of the same movie on a single disc. Honestly for me T2 has yet to get a good release on high def or 4K. The Last Jedi was filmed with both digital and, well, “film”. It looks great on 4K.

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.

Totally disagree with a couple on here! Gremlins was a great upgrade visually. You can see the pores on faces in some scenes, not that you want to, but definitely better clarity and the HDR makes quite a substantial difference. It’s night and day, I’m sure someone even with a budget set up could see that there is an improvement. So anyone out there wondering if it’s worth the upgrade... yes it’s definitely an upgrade visually! You won’t be using the mediocre Blu-ray transfer again! Disagree with Aladdin too, the corrected ratio means we finally get the full picture as intended and the HDR doesn’t make much of a difference from the regular Blu-ray, which is no bad thing, but eliminates banding altogether and other picture issues etc, it’s definitely more of a solid picture. The one major downside is the horrendous Atmos track, which is flat and non existent! The original 5.1 track beats it hands down!

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.
@timramich3 жыл бұрын
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.

@@BCS1105 it’s a bad thing. One brand sends a measured signal. The other brands require a different input signal number. They measure voltage and current. Each brand chooses a unique numerical value. But now in 2020 the equipment is smart and there’s hidden codes communicated between programs. If the codes don’t match you won’t get subwoofer sounds and people’s voices will get lost in sound tracks. Your Sony will send a signal that the tv will cause it to blast some colours and sounds and other colours and sounds will be under amplified.

Got a disagree about Gremlins. I thought it was a modest upgrade. I think a lot of the transfers problems are inherent from the original photography and I doubt it can really look any better and Ive seen a 70mm blow up. The new dts-hd track on the uhd has better surround activity than my old TrueHd blu ray which is much closer to the fore mentioned 70mm screening I attended. Those Disney ones are pretty lackluster, I'm with you there.
