Back to the Future Trilogy 4K UHD (1985-1990) - Page 270 - Blu-ray Forum

The 4K discs are finicky. I was able to rip Parts II and III from my first set of Best Buy steelbooks, but it took three sets before I finally got the first movie to play/rip.

No problem with the BR discs.

I don’t want to get involved in timeline talk but what I love about these movies is that someone creates the greatest invention of all time but no one ever finds out about it because these two doofs spend a couple of days going back and forth in time and boning things up in the least interesting town on earth.

Watching this set, which was my first time watching them back-to-back in a long while, I find it really hard to overlook where 2 and 3 feel cheap/phoned-in compared to the original. Part 1 is just a significantly better movie in all aspects, in this viewing. There was a good amount of time where 2 was my favorite, and then a long time where I was aware 1 was better but still thought 2 was pretty great. I've always disliked 3.

Now I actually like 3 somewhat more than 2.

I'm happy the digibook itself has the art from the poster for pt 1 on the front. That was nice to see.

Is $39.51 as low as this is going to go for a long while, you think?

Eschenpod · 10-28-2020, 05:31 AM

My gruv copy ordered from eBay for $9.99 is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.

Is the complete animated series included? All 26 episodes?

Nope. Just the first episode of each season.

Pre-order that I placed on Aug. 13th for trilogy steelbook from Best Buy just CANCELLED!

Gatsou7 · 10-28-2020, 02:06 PM

Watched part one and two the last two nights, UK version from Zoom. Very pleased with the overall presentation. Obviously the best the movies have ever looked and sounded. No issues of stuttering or anything disgraceful on a Panasonic UB820, the discs were spotless.

moreorless · 10-28-2020, 02:15 PM

Not issues with the UB-450 on the first film for me either.

It is probably up their with Don't Look Now and Flash Gordon in terms of a UHD release really changing how I view the film. Honestly dispite Cundy being involved I confess I never viewed it as an especially strong film visually beyond iconic scenes like the flaming tracks. There is definitely a lot more to it than that though, scenes like Docs mansion in the 50's for example look superb.

Gatsou7 · 10-28-2020, 02:34 PM

Yes, it isn't heavily stylised or anything, I think it was simply meant to look "clean". It's still a good cut above typical action comedies of the 80's, it has that "Amblin" feel to it which I enjoy, probably a nostalgia thing!

More than likely.

Meanwhile, from my Amazon sleeve set.... those discs seem to play back much better. I still thinks it is fingerprints and pressing errors that cause most problems and not so much sleeves.

THANK YOU!!!

anyone here knows how accurate caps-a-holic is? I'm comparing BttF UHD to the Bluray and I swear the blu ray looks better to me...more detail... Not saying the uhd looks bad, but at least on the first movie, there are comparions where I basically see no difference between blu ray and uhd and other cases the uhd looks a bit blurry in comparison?

like here...the bricks look more defined I guess? same with the columns unless I'm mistaken

Swissangel4616 · 10-28-2020, 04:39 PM

in switzerland not anymore available on 4K.

I asked in some shops. Some never had/got the 4K. I could buy the bluray they told me. Why should I buy the bluray when I want have the 4K and already have an earlier bluray release?

Im so tired with Universal. Have not gotten the Spartacus 4K. And now this... I mean.. it's Back to the Future. It looks like 4K is death

What happens to Marty 2? Why doesn't he come back to the 1985 that our Marty is in? Simple, something went different during his time in 1955 that prevents him from coming back to his original world.

There is no "Marty 2" and no Martys vanish.

What he is seeing is himself going back in time. There is no alternate timeline. Yes, Marty is overlapping a bit because he went back a little early, and there are already changes evident from what happened back in 1955 (i.e. Lone Pine Mall) but that's it.

You have to accept what is presented in the film at face value because those are the established rules of time travel in this film's universe.

but what about part 3 then? It looks incredibly more detailed and part 1 looks pretty much the same (except for the edge enhancement as you said, and probably darker than the blu ray)

You're gonna need to give me an example, because the only way to think the blu-ray is more detailed than the UHD here is to have the screenshots mixed up (the UHD is mouse OFF the image): https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=1&x...5&l=0&i=1&go=1

Again, there is ZERO additional detail present in the blu-ray here. It's just EE and contrast-boosting, which is thankfully gone on the UHD.
