This should make an excellent UHD experience. So-so movie but I remember when I owned the blu-ray the picture & sound was terrific.

[Sky_Captain]

Sweet.

Totally random, lol. Odd choice considering it was a bomb.

2D movie, shot on film, gets a 2K DI? Fail.

I tried watching this movie once and fell asleep about 15 minutes into it. Might try again if it's on HBO or something.

Way to many crap movies coming to 4K out of everything Universal could of picked to release it is this really. How about Universal put some money into doing 4K treatment of Martin Scorsese - CASINO

[Rich1631]

Agree, Universal couldn't give us ET, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Mummy, Fast/Furious? But instead we get Lucy, Battleship, and Oblivion? Come on, man!!! Atleast we got the Bourne movies.

[Dubstar]

bleck --- no thanks.

[sapiendut]

I always welcome these types of movies (brainless, all action, great sound effect) but when everything was done in 2K and the original soundtrack is 5.1, I'm not buying it for fake 4K, fake HDR and remixed object audio.

Not entirely random. It ties into Peter Berg's other movie, Deepwater Horizon, which should be released around the same time. Plus he has another flick, Patriots Day, hitting theaters in December.

[RealorFake4K]

It's unlikely that this gets a new 4K master.

[Geoff D]

I loved this daft movie. And it literally made my subwoofer migrate across the floor.

[Sky_Captain]

Yeah, f*** Goodfellas.

P.S. I can hear levcore squee from here lol

[Rich1631]

Movie is kinda "ewwy" but it has bright vibrant colors already, so with the HDR this should look great if Universal doesn't screw it up like the Warcraft UHD. Those "shredder" scenes are pretty rad and the action is awesome in this, but it still is a pretty bad movie.

The special effects forced it to be a 2k DI.

Huh? The DI/Master/DCP is independent of everything else.

The studio would have to go back and re-comp every uprezzed-to-4k visual effects shot (there are a ton of them in Battleship) and insert them into re-scanned at 4k 35mm OCN footage.

The only movie on UHD Blu-ray so far where a studio has gone to that much effort to create a brand new true 4k resolution master is Ridley Scott's The Martian. And that was easier to do because the raw camera footage was digital and already at 6k and 4k. In non-linear editors and SFX suites you can swap the proxy files and then re-comp.

Not so easy to do in the case of Battleship and that movie was a flop.

[RealorFake4K]

Ohh, I must have misread. I thought you were speaking about the original DI from 2012. While extremely unlikely they would have made a 4K DI, they technically could have, they just chose to make it 2K.
