$9.99 on Amazon. Grabbed it up.

Wasn't going to upgrade, but nice price.

Ditto. And it's a fun movie to boot. So $10 well spent

You still won't be upgrading. The BD looks better than the 4K. Go figure

The BD was cool to begin with so I already know what to expect. I've debated on getting the UHD for a while because it's a film I really like. I just kept holding off. It's a decent enough price and I'm okay with that. Plus, I'll sell off the BD.

Oh, and HDR is enough of a reason, too.

I prefer the UHD for it’s warmer color temperature and the HDR is excellent.

So, here is where we get to the color temperature discussion. Which one is right? I prefer warmer coloring to begin with, but I'm not sure if that's what was intended for this film.

There are times when an antiseptic look is preferable and that's what I get out of the BD. IMO, it looks damn good anyway, but I'm in this for the HDR.

I also prefer warmer colours too but some claim the BD is closer to the theatrical look. I didn’t see it in theatres so I have no idea. I found the BD looked a little washed out but I viewed it on my old projector setup. HDR looks very nice on this. I need to re-watch on my OLED.

The last time I watched it was on our non-HDR Vizio we used to have. I'm looking forward to seeing this on the OLED. I have a feeling we'll be very pleased with the outcome nonetheless.

I’m sure you will, and if you don’t it didn’t cost you much.

I preferred the SDR version over the HDR10 version on my E6 OLED. HDR10 seemed a tad soft. Maybe I will see how it looks with my Oppo 203 forcing to DV on my E6, now that the DV issue is fixed.

GenPion · 07-10-2018, 03:38 AM

Bought this during the lightning deal but then canceled after looking at this thread. Still kinda curious to compare it to the Blu-ray but with so many mixed reviews it really is a lower priority. Shame they didn’t completely knock it out of the park. This is a fantastic film.

cynatnite · 07-10-2018, 03:43 AM

It still comes with a BD. I'm going to sell the one on my shelf for probably $5. Think I'll keep the slip, though.

Definitely worth it.

and the Dolby Vision Vudu encode trumps the the 4K disc too - go figure (shrugs)

GenPion · 07-10-2018, 03:46 AM

Well I already own a Blu-ray steelbook though with the exclusive bonus disc.

Kedrix · 07-10-2018, 12:13 PM

Even though I have read this thread several times, I was still too weak not to go ahead and buy it last night since I do enjoy the movie quite a bit. Also, an upgrade to the 4k version of the digital code doesn't hurt either.

Mobe1969 · 07-10-2018, 07:19 PM

I was watching it last night, and thought it was pretty good. Sound, definitely. Image was very good in live shots I thought, and heavy cg not so much. I didn't have any issues with levels, blacks, color.

punisher · 07-10-2018, 09:32 PM

I have one of the hard to get steelbooks from a while ago so it's going in there. I have the soundtrack also on a hard to get clear vinyl 2 lp set...

I didn't care too much for it in the theater but the bd won me over big time for whatever reason.Hoping the 4k takes it up a notch. At 9.99 it was hard to pass up.

zarquon · 07-12-2018, 12:55 AM

I've been tempted to pick this up despite the many negative comments about the UHD, just to compare for myself; at $9.99, I couldn't pass it up. Arrived today, and I was surprised to see it still came with a slip, and a pristine one at that.

punisher · 07-12-2018, 02:45 AM

same here, slip bubble wrap,

StingingVelvet · 08-23-2018, 10:46 PM

If you still want to own this I saw it was $10 at Target today, still with slip.
