I have a feeling that those 'Mastered in 4K' BD movies are not going to last very long. If people realize that they are really only 1080P BD movies(which i hope they realize that), then we can expect them to be gone sometime real soon. I honestly don't think that there is a bright future for "Master in 4K" BD movies at all. What is going to be a much better BD format are the future 2160P(4K) BD movies, that will be coming out sometime within the next 1 to 2 years from now.
