Would wait for reviews before jumping on this one. Hope it looks better than their Blu-ray.

I'm very excited of the potential Platoon has on 4K but yeah I've heard they're blu-ray release is pretty brutal

bergman864 · 07-03-2022, 01:51 PM

I hope it's a new transfer. The screencaps on the website here look rough.

Maximux · 07-03-2022, 02:53 PM

Awesome, that's a day one for me!

Darthbooth1978 · 07-03-2022, 02:54 PM

My favourite year so far for 4K releases

JonZ · 07-03-2022, 03:00 PM

I really prefer the Image color timed version.
Would love to have it on 4k.

Blu Cider · 07-03-2022, 03:11 PM

The new blu-ray and the 4k streams suffer from heavy DNR. Beware.

Jorvic · 07-03-2022, 03:21 PM

I was only thinking the other day about why there seems to be relatively few Oliver Stone films on 4K UHD.

Platoon is one of my top ten most wanted on the format.

This is my favorite Vietnam War film but I'll wait for reviews before I get this one.

+1. The DNR kicks in hard around the 40 minutes mark and lasts for about 15-20 minutes and sadly these are the important moments in the movie.

Really hoping they are using a different remaster for the 4K UHD release.

geomon · 07-03-2022, 03:42 PM

Yeah this is wait and see. If it was from someone other than Shout, might be day one.

Just a little reminder about Shouts previous release for all the day oners out there.

I mean, the product description does specify that it's a 'brand new restoration.' Shout wouldn't be so stupid as to wrongfully promote it as such knowing they need to placate everyone unhappy with the existing 4K remaster... or would they?

EDIT: Alright, I checked the description of the 2018 Blu-ray and it's exactly the same. Maybe we're in trouble.

EDIT II: I can't read.

Where are the other upcoming SF titles?

EDIT: Found Old Henry (2021) which is no big shock since they handled theatrical and digital distribution for it. Any others, MifuneFan? Thanks!

Sorry! I didn't like how bare the post was so I added poster art, and figured i'd add info from Shout's BD release since most/all of that will likely carry over.

Yeah, nothing super exciting. As you found, Old Henry 4K is another, Kamen Rider Kuuga Complete series (which Shout added to their site already for September), and a 2020 Hungarian horror film called Post Mortem.
