Will try some different scenes.

Still don't understand why they'd bother just releasing essentially upscaled films.

Surely if it's been 2k at any point, the 4K info is lost?
The studios are hoping you'll notice the improvements with 10 bit (or 12 bit Dolby Vision when that becomes a thing) bit depth, better color reproduction, and greater contrast.

Once you see films that had 4k workflows throughout, then you'll end up with noticeably more detail too.

BBC Nature is working on a new full 4k Planet Earth 2 and hopefully that will be released on UHD Blu-ray. That would be stunning.
Filmed-for-large-format-theaters Baraka and Samsara are also being prepped for UHD Blu-ray besides a few IMAX films.
