i, Robot and The Day After Tomorrow would be ideal in 4K Blu-ray

[HDTV1080P]

I, Robot and The Day After Tomorrow are a couple of my favorite movies. They would be idea for a 8K or 4K scan of the 35mm film negative and released on the 4K Blu-ray format.

Back on 10-2-2007 20th Century Fox used state of the art MPEG-4/AVC with 5.1 DTS-HD Master audio on a 50GB disc for The Day After Tomorrow. 20th Century Fox was releasing Blu-ray’s like Behind Enemy Lines back in the year 2006 that used MPEG-4/AVC and 5.1 DTS-HD Master audio. 20th Century Fox was a few years ahead of some studios in terms of using the best quality on the early 2006 Blu-ray releases. Some studios in 2006 and 2007 were still using MPEG-2 video codec with lossy audio.

DAT would be cool.

Both films were finished out to 2K. 8K scan of the camera negative? Keep dreaming

[BenjaminG]

I am reasonably sure that Day After Tomorrow is on Disney+/ Star in 4K in Australia.

[Socko]

Yep, just found out now. Picture looks good so far

How much "state of the art" we talking here?

[EvilMoose]

I wouldn't mind a UHD release of I, Robot. Preferably a UHD/Blu-ray combo set to compare the results, as I know a 4K upscale would probably be less than ideal and it would be interesting to compare the two.


I was contemplating upgrading my old DVD to the Blu-ray that's out currently, but there's this feeling in my bones that a new release of I, Robot is just about ready to go. Maybe they're waiting for the whole Oscar-slap controversy to roll on down the memory hole?

And anyway, there's a tendency for new releases of a movie to be announced a month or two after I cave and pick up an old blu.

There is a 4K digital HDR for Day After Tomorrow. So it's on the table. Perhaps they are waiting for 20th anniversary (2024) to release?

As to I, Robot. Well, idk about that. It should also end up on the format. I seent a 4K master custom HDR upscale. Based on that whatever 2K DI they have to source from should produce a striking 4K UHD disc

Oh, ffs. I had a brain fade and forgot these are in Disney's grip now... Well they have shot out some live action from 20th century library. And they will be doing Avatar UHD into next year on home video. Here's hoping that sees some movement with stuff like this.

Things that seemed like they wouldn't have been happening, just slowly (90's horror for example). Slowly chipping away at the mainstream catalog many of us dreams to purchase. This reminds me I need to update and tend to my now yearly revised wishlist masterlist.

Day After Tomorrow is now available to purchase on streaming platforms in the US.

I really like both movies. Some of the cgi in Day after tomorrow doesn't really hold up with today's standards though.
But I don't care. I want them both

I'd be keen to get The Day After Tomorrow on 4K BD, but not if it's just an upscale of a 2K master. Does anyone know if the 4K streaming version is actually a new 4K remaster or just upscaled?

Looked upscaled to me.
