Mutant X: The Complete Seasons 1-3 Blu-ray

Hoping this won't be an upscale

Elaniel · 02-02-2016, 03:17 PM

Too rich for my blood at the moment. Would pay £50 max.

CouncilSpectre · 02-02-2016, 03:37 PM

Proof positive that if we wait long enough, ANYTHING can come to BD eventually?!

Not for me, but I do applaud moves to bring catalogue TV titles to BD. Although, as per above, I suspect that this will be upscaled.

dvdmike · 02-02-2016, 08:37 PM

How bloody much!!!

Lol

Was shot 35mm but doubt they will go back to source on it

ToASTER · 02-17-2016, 11:29 PM

We can only hope this is not just another poor telecined upscale.
I'd even settle for a proper 24p upscale like Farscape, if they're too lazy to rescan the film and slap sd effects on it...

CelestialAgent · 02-17-2016, 11:31 PM

I don't understand why anyone would want to reissue this. Doubt it will sell many copies.

CouncilSpectre · 02-17-2016, 11:42 PM

Probably hoping to trade off the MCU cache.

I'd rather have the other Tribune series myself, Earth: Final Conflict. Bat-sh1t crazy the last couple of seasons but the first two were decent enough, and three was ok.

UniSol GR77 · 02-18-2016, 01:51 PM

Great!!!! I loved this series.

ToASTER · 02-29-2016, 09:10 PM

Seeing this release gives me hope that gems like Xena, Hercules, Relic Hunter, Beastmaster, The Lost World, Adventure Inc., or Queen of Swords may get a BD release someday, either upscaled or real HD.

I still can't find more info about this release...does anyone know more yet?

roguejp · 09-26-2016, 03:07 PM

The amount of information you can find on this release is really underwhelming.....I've contacted Revelation Films and Koch Media to see if they can tell me more.

roguejp · 10-09-2016, 04:48 PM

This is now down to £59,99 on amazon, that's almost the price I would be willing to pay.
But tweets to Koch Media and Revelation Films for more information are unanswered, so I have no choice to wait for the release

.

roguejp · 11-09-2016, 06:38 PM

Anybody bought this yet and care to comment on the PQ?
I can't find a single review.

Andrew354 · 11-09-2016, 10:32 PM

Maybe there are no reviews because no-one has actually bought it yet

This is Revelation though, so you can be assured that it will be another upscale like Andromeda.

I might pick it up next year when it's cheap.

evoll · 11-09-2016, 11:50 PM

I was going to buy this but was waiting to hear back about PQ since I have the dvds. Maybe I will order and post back once I watch them.

That's always a possibility...I see that no one here has it in their collection, only on a wishlist. Even a upscale could prove to be a lot better than the DVD's.

The upscaled Andromeda BD's (also from Revelation) were quite poorly done.
They basically just boosted the contrast, colour and brightness on them.
I would say they weren't any better than upscaled DVD's.

It wasn't an example of a skilled upscale job like Farscape for example (one of the best examples of the improved picture quality that can be coaxed out of a SD source in the right hands).

I don't hold out much hope that Mutant X will be any better than the Andromeda upscales.

I'll probably still pick it up but not until it is dirt cheap.
I wouldn't be surprised if this set is going for around £30 by next spring.

Andromeda - Seasons 3-5 can already be had for £24.99 each.
Back in September they were going for £49.99 each.

CouncilSpectre · 11-11-2016, 07:42 AM

The Andromeda BDs were pretty poor yes. Well the first two were, I didn't bother with the rest.

There's compression benefits but that's about it. Luckily I got the first two seasons for about a tenner apiece ages ago, so - better compression, taking up less shelf space, and cheap - I replaced my DVDs but unless any of those three things matter to you then I probably wouldn't bother.

Mutant X, I would wager, will be more akin to Andromeda than Farscape.

Ed Straker · 12-11-2016, 08:37 AM

So, have anybody actually seen this? Is it an upscale? Thanks!
