Geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart) discovers that an unknown force has caused the earth's inner core to stop rotating. With the planet's magnetic field rapidly deteriorating, our atmosphere literally starts to come apart at the seams with catastrophic consequences. To resolve the crisis, Keyes, along with a team of the world's most gifted scientists, travel into the earth's core. Their mission: detonate a device that will reactivate the core.

Day 1 purchase for The Core on 4K UHD, even though I purchased Shout's blu-ray last year. Hoping Paramount will release Deep Impact on 4K UHD in 2023 for its 25th Anniversary.

Prayge they don't mess up encoding on this one. One of my absolute faves of the early 2000's and one I love to rewatch often.

If this is the same as the Digital that’s been available, folks may want to temper expectations.

Yeah Roy!!!

It was inevitable. I'm in.

Don't understand why Paramount let Shout release the 4K scan on BD nearly a year prior, should've just did it themselves and release the 4K along with it lol

Just bought the blu-ray a month ago. Ebay it goes!

More than likely Shout's bonus features won't be ported over. It might be worth keeping it if you care about special features/extra content.

I want this

It's rare that I watch the extras. If the 4K includes the blu-ray (the same disc that's released now) it will have the special features.

Jeez...glad I held off on the Shout release which came out less than a year ago. This is a fun flick and I've always enjoyed it so I'll probably get the 4K at some point.

Out of all movies why this one? Paramount seems to decide UHD releases by throwing darts at a wall

Glad we didn't grab the Shout BD yet. Though, this release might make Shout's price drop substantially, so we might still opt for it considering Paramount's frequent practice of not including a standard BD with their 4K releases. 4k offers a bit better experience when both 2k and 4k are from the same source (more dramatically better when comparing new vs old masters), but BD is still FAR more useful to us (playable in every room, not just the HT), not to mention being more reliable.

Paramount has become THE most egregious producer for double-dipping. The only difference here is that this time they settled for their licensing fee rather than releasing a standard BD themselves. Maybe it was the BD's sells data that prompted greenlighting a 4k edition, or maybe it was planned all along. Regardless, it's almost become SOP of late for newly remastered Paramount BDs to get a 4k announcement a year later.

It's the 20th anniversary, and a 4K scan already exists.

After Shout dropped the remastered blu earlier this year based on the new 4k scan, this was pretty much a foregone conclusion.

I love this movie but I don't need it on 4K. It took Paramount long enough to release the film on Blu-ray and when Shout got the license the bd release was plenty satisfying.

There's even still a chance that since it's Paramount, between the encode, the hdr pass, and the dnr button, they might actually generate a new 4k uhd master that is less appealing than the standard Shout blu ray. You never know with these folks. Their 4k product is pretty schizophrenic in terms of results, randomly ranging from really sketchy to actually pretty stellar. Friday the 13th 4k vs Running Man 4k, anyone? How can those even be from the same company? I want this on 4k, but I'll likely wait for the initial reviews and caps this time around. Given that, I still think the 4k will more than likely spank the Shout blu....
