Still haven't watched this in full yet on 4k, but had a quick look, is it just me or was there a noticeable difference in quality between the standard shots on the farm, and the imax shots? The IMAX shots were stunning though. easily the best of the best. Not surprising given Nolan pioneered IMAX in Hollywood with The Dark Knight - which also looks absolutely stunning even on bluray.

[@stansb37]

@@mattr8750 yeah, significant quality drop in some of the non-imax scenes. I remember seeing it on IMAX when it was shown in theaters and I think the film was really shot that way.

Gonna have to agree with a lot of others here, Interstellar is very worthy of being on the list. Not to mention, Elysium.

[@jeanp.5929]

"Gemini Man", "Lucy", "Tenet (at least I think so)", "Godzilla vs. Kong" are some honorable mentions I can think of? Also, can you do a video with top "Fantasy" movies? Some movies I can think of are "The Wizard of Oz" and "300." I know that fantasy and sci-fi are almost the same thing but i'd like to see some kind of list regardless. A list of top animated movies like "Soul", "Toy Story 1-4", "The Lion King" and so on. Possibly separate cartoon animation and life-like animation. I like these videos. Keep em coming.

Lucy looks excellent.

[@pete49327]

Excellent list. We can only pray that one day Forbidden Planet will have a 4k release.

[@TPF1138]

Solid list. Like seeing "Passengers" on here. A movie for which the "hot take" became the overriding reaction. Yes, it's ending is too neat for the complex moral questions thrown up by its story (though not nearly as egregiously as you might have heard, folks), but it's a handsomely mounted sci-fi drama, with two engaging leads, and a reasonably original concept. One that works pretty well in general. I only saw it in theatres, but I think I'll seek out the 4K disc on this recommendation.

[@Akhenatonio]

It looks incredible on 4KBR; reference quality, demo disc. I also enjoy the film, having watched it several times already The ending was done in such a way that said "they had to end it somehow, and that's how they chose to do it".

Absolutely a MUST MUST have! Dont even think about it.. get it. And dang you, I have seen you wave that "Final Count Down" disc around enough times I am going to just get it.

Passengers is nothing special in my humble opinion, though the original script sounded far more interesting than the actual film they made.

Blade runner 2049 is a great 4K Blu-ray, but for me the original one ranks first on 4K for many reasons. The quality of the 4k transfer ( this is a somewhat old movie), it looks like being shot yesterday with an outstanding level of quality in term of details and colors. Same for the Dolby Atmos soundtrack. What a sound firework at any level. And what to say about the scenario, the filming and this huge Vangelis musical score.

I don't feel they're necessary better it's just some films already looked great on blu ray, a film like Predator gets more of a mention because of the restoration effort that went into the 4k was huge over previous format releases which generally ranged from looking average to really really bad, so sometimes it can be down to circumstances.

Omitting the sci-fi 4K disc of all sci-fi 4K discs, the original Blade Runner, is straight up outrageous. That and 2001 are pretty much universally regarded as the two best science fiction 4Ks on the market. You could have put both Blade Runners. It is one of the top 10 4Ks of any genre, period. It's certainly much better than Lynch's Dune, and you had that on here twice. If you look at other reviews for it, everyone says the same that it is just astonishing and one of the best 4Ks available. It is one of the best looking movies ever shot, and it is one of the best restorations ever done. It also includes every single cut of the movie. I don't know if there is any other 4K collectors that would recommend Dune over Blade Runner on 4K, that is just plain silly.

There's something heartwarming about a studio lavishing so much care and attention on a cult B-movie like The Final Countdown. I loved it as a kid -- and still love me some cheesy cinema goodness a la Flash Gordon -- so maybe it's time for a rewatch. I like to throw in discs that have tons of color, detail, and varied brightness. Pacific Rim, Thor: Ragnarok, Aquaman, Alita, that sort of thing. And I've seen 2001 via 70mm print at a film festival on a ginormous screen in a restored vintage theater that seats 1600. That's the proper way to see it if you ever get the chance.

Gattaca - extremely surprising restoration and beautiful on HDR Total Recall (the most surprising one, I assumed the quality of film stock in that era would be sub-par but the grain field of Total Recall is mesmerizing) Honorable mention: Interstellar, only because I find the changing aspect ratios not very appealing, but still, the film is gorgeous

When you mentioned Flash Gordon, I knew you could be trusted. It would have been nice if you had mentioned how they were finally able to capture the wild palette, but “like Pitch Black” sort of captures that sentiment. You could probably say similar about The Matrix, as the palette was severely hampered until HDR became a reality. It was interesting to find that the movie wasn’t painted green, but that it was loaded with green sets, which were clearly visible in HDR.

Luv it can u do top comic book/super hero movies ?

[@Coneman3]

It must be a great feeling when studios finish the work on transferring a film onto 4K.

[@whogg0521]

Really cool list. Stay safe after that storm.

[@patrickshields1887]

Hey, Films At Home, can review the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" 4k disc, if you have it, please? I've been wanting to buy it, but I've read that it looks unusually grainy for 4k (even for transfers from film). I am curious to hear your opinion on the image quality since you're a god at this stuff.

I think there is a predator 4k collection with the rest of the sequels on 4k.

[@jeffreygouse802]

There is. I have the 3-movie version on my shelf (they did a 4-movie collection that includes Shane Black's "The Predator" as well). I'm thinking what he *might* have meant is INDIVIDUAL RELEASES of the sequels because, at present, only the original is available separately, but then again he did say "see the sequels on 4K" so I don't know what he's thinking.

Great list, also a sad reminder to myself of how many of these I own but have yet to watch!!

Off topic, but have you heard of any delays in Best Buy shipping out the New Ghostbusters Ultimate Edition 4k? I pre-ordered mine on January 8th and it seems to just be in limbo either at Best Buy or USP....Thanks!

Now you just made me want to go buy The Final Countdown. It’s one of my childhood movies, I saw it on the movie theater several times back in the late 70s when I was a kid but I never bought it because most copies out there were not good, so I’m really surprised there’s such a good 4K out there. Actually the only thing I don’t agree on your list is Blade Runner 2049. It was such a disappointment in 4K for me that even stopped me from buying more 4K for several months. I had bought the original blade runner in 4K at the same time and I think when it comes to 4K there’s no comparison between the original and the modern sequel. The original restored in 4K totally blew me away in the same way 2001 did. But Blade Runner 2049 in 4K was a real disappointment because I have it in 1080p Blu-ray and honestly I don’t see much difference between them. I was really disappointed by that one. Any of the Dune movies are incredible in 4K. The original Lynch film is one of the movies of my life and one of those made for giant screen movies that it’s too bad new generations never got to experience in cinema. Lynch’s Dune is not the same on a tv no matter how big your tv is. That movie is one of the reasons I became an illustrator, and I love that the new 4k restoration is so incredible too. Up there with 2001 and blade runner in my view. I’m glad Passengers has a great 4K version because now I’m going to buy it. It’s one of my favorite modern sci-fi movies and I don’t get the hate about it. For those classic sci-fi readers , that movie is like a great Robert Heinlein novel on the screen. The book Heinlein never wrote but could have written. I found it so refreshing to suddenly watch a classic sci-fi story on modern times that I couldn’t believe the hate this movie got. I have Flash Gordon on Blu-ray but I may be getting it on 4K as it’s one of those cult movies from when I was a kid and I love the 1030s crazy serial vibe. You missed EVENT HORIZON which is another incredible 4K restoration too. Check that out. And by the way, although it’s Fantasy but you should check out the 4K original German cut of THE NEVERENDING STORY. Not the international cut we know in the west. The original German cut. The one without the famous intro classic song, which has 6 more minutes and a whole different vibe. It’s only available in Germany but the new 4K restoration is awesome , particularly in the way it recovers the original sepia color mood of the film. If you only know the regular American cut we all know and think the movie to be ultra colorful and cute, you need to see the original. The intro music alone makes it feel we are going to watch a sequel to the exorcist. The whole áudio differences in the original cut are fascinating. The American cut replaced dubbing, dialogues, cut stuff out, etc. if you think you know The Neverending Story movie get the 4K German restoration of the original cut.

Blade Runner 2049 is the reason I still hold hope 🙏 for a good Terminator 2 sequel. That director (DV) + the future war setting of 2029
