The Mummy Ultimate Trilogy 4K UHD (1999-2008)

Where can I find the individual releases?

This thread has made me anxious to receive my UK version of the set.

Especially regarding with supposedly how damn good the first film looks.

Australia. If you are just looking for all three films with individual cases in a box set, UK I believe is the answer there.

Don't be put off by the first few minutes with all the subtitled scenes and vast bluscreen vistas and whatnot, it looks soft because that's just the nature of the optical beast. But when you get anything that's first generation like the various close-ups of the gorgeous Rachel Weisz, oh mai.

I watched the first hour of the first film and noticed some macro blocks and stuttering at around 45 min. I didn't check the disc itself for scratches. Played with a Panasonic DMP-UB900.

Try cleaning the disc. I had a lot of problems an hour in and after that, no issues.

Anybody get the British version from Amazon UK yet? It looks thicker, so I am assuming it has normal disc cases? I contacted Universal about two weeks ago about all six of my disc's having scratches and was requesting replacements.

I have received no reply at all. Does anybody have a direct e-mail for someone at Universal that can help?

Thanks

Pretty sure some others confirmed the UK editions are normal cases. They have player-generated subtitles though, that's the trade-off.

Nothing for the rest of the movie. The packaging is really not well thought and not worth the trouble. Simple cases in a box would have been sufficient.

I do want to see the Mummy again, it's been years. I'll wait for it to go down in price tho.

Thanks, a website name would be even better.

just had a quick look at mummy 1 4k and WOW its impressive. sure its soft in places but the sheer resolution is great. also the HDR is bright, most catalogue movies the HDR is subtle, here its very impressive!

Yeah the PQ was surprisingly pleasing. The movie is nearly 20 years old. It was a pleasure to watch it again. I'm not expecting much of the third one though ;-)

Yeah, there's a little voice in the back of my head concerned about how aggressive the HDR is on all three of these. That can't be how they looked in theaters, film has more range than SDR Blu but not THAT much. When they look so f**king good though, that voice in my head is drowned out by the WOW WOW WOW of my eye signals.

Heh. I'm not kidding when I said it's probably the very best 35mm show I've seen in UHD thus far. Others like Argo or Pineapple Express had the benefit of a 4K DI so them looking luvverly in terms of film-like goodness doesn't come as a massive shock, but for a catalogue movie actually photochemically finished on film I've seen nothing like it thus far. ID4 and Crouching Tiger Hidden Bladder and Ghostbusters and Labyrinth are excellent examples in their own right but they're slightly hamstrung in purely objective terms by the heavy grain, whereas the Mummy is incredibly fine-grained. Oh, it's just lush beyond belief - and it came from Uni-frickin'-versal of all people! Hell, they even worked wonders on a very old transfer for Mummy Returns.

[Sky_Captain]

All three transfers are clear upgrades over their BD counterparts, but goddamn The Mummy looks fantastic.

i knew it was going to be good but it surpassed how i imagined it would look. this is how ALL catallogue titles should look and be treated. universal did good here and yes the fine grain is splendid. its a stunning picture all round. its given me alot of hope for catalogue titles for the future as quite a few have been lackluster so far!
