Hi Martin,
There are a lot of issues with pixelation, freezing of playback on the new Daniel Craig 4k discs. The majority of the issues are coming from OPPO UHD players with DV playback. I’ve contacted both OPPO and Fox and each are pointing fingers at the other. I’ve personally been through 3 sets of the discS and can’t get them to playback on my OPPO, but my Sony X700 has no issue. Do you have any contacts at Fox/Sony that might be able to look further into this. Here’s the latest in the forum about playback issues starts at page 119 and goes till: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...postcount=2838
Thanks for any help!

Liked your review of Crawl. However, the movie (being from Paramount) is not a Movies Anywhere title.

Hi Martin, I strongly appreciate your diligence in all the reviews you do. With your Never Look Away review, I think it is worth updating all the screenshots and the video quality section because it turns out that there was a disc defect that only recently got corrected in early October following a direct intervention by the director Florian Donnersmarck. This defect led Amazon to withdraw all blu-ray copies from sale. The whole saga is documented on the forum page - the initial US printing featured a picture that was significantly lower contrast and with different gamma to what was properly intended. It would be really amazing and helpful if you could update it as it would alert people to possibly seeking replacements if they happen to have received a defective copy.

I liked your Finding Nemo 4K review, but the dek links back to the Ratatouille blu-ray and says 2007 instead of 2012, when the Nemo blu was released.

Hello Martin, thanks for the review on Aladdin. I would like if you would, or someone else on the team, investigate the lower volume audio instead of calling it a flaw like some forum members have pointed out and the review itself suggests.

A lot of the time lower volume means reference dynamic levels, where you are meant to turn up the audio on your receiver or amp. I think somebody should take some specs from the waveforms and see how dynamic the mix is compared to some other films.

There are many films notorious for having very low dynamic range. And that is not a good thing.

Martin - love your reviews man, just wanted to point out a quick typo on the delete scenes breakdown for Endgame 4K review should say Suckiest "Army" in the Galaxy, not "Arm" i think. Keep up the great work! - Deleted Scenes (1080p, 4:51 total runtime): Included are Goji Berries, Bombs on Board, Suckiest Arm in the Galaxy, You Used to Frickin' Live Here, Tony and Howard, and Avengers Take a Knee.

Hi, Martin. I appreciate your review of the St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup Championship BD. I wanted to point out a couple of miscues. First, early on in your review/recap you mentioned the Blues lost 1968, 1969, & 1970 Stanley Cup Finals “losing all four series by sweeps.” Thought you might want to change that to “losing all three series by sweeps.” And with regards to how the Bruins made it to the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals, you stated they “shocked the sports world by sweeping the 128-point juggernaut Tampa Bay” but that wasn’t them. Their first round was a seven game series victory against the 100-point Toronto Maple Leafs. Their second round series was against the team that “shocked the sports world by sweeping the 128-point juggernaut Tampa Bay.” Just thought you might want to correct that as well. Other than that, the facts were presented.

Martin, and then, Star Trek Into Darkness 4K overall rating is 4.5 with most categories rated 5.0. I don't understand your ratings on these two 4K movies. Can you please explain?

Martin, for Star Trek Beyond 4K, how can the overall rating be 5.0 when none of the individual categories ratings were 5.0?

Ok...

I'll try.
