Is it just what's on the discs or anything exclusive?

If you already have the Ultimate Trilogy boxset, you won't find anything new; they even divided up the fourth disc's content among the three movies.

Oddly, they didn't port over The Making of Back to the Future, Making the Trilogy Chapters 1-2, or the first episode of the animated series.

Think I just have the regular. I didn't get it from amazon apparently so not sure.

Dsneybuf · 10-06-2023, 02:57 AM

Confusingly, when it comes to 4K Back to the Future boxsets, the Ultimate Trilogy (the one I have) is the "regular" one, while the boxset with Steelbook packaging is labeled the 35th Anniversary Limited Edition Trilogy.
I've joked elsewhere that if Universal ever releases a set with all of Eric Stolz's scenes, they'd need an even fancier label than "Ultimate"...

I like all three a lot. The first one is clearly the best in my opinion, followed by Part II which is a lot of fun. Part III is also enjoyable but I love how wacky and creative the second film is.

Lowest ever would’ve been the two weeks preorder on gruv for 9.99

Besides the absolutely abysmal packaging this is a steal near $20, stick the discs in your old Blu ray set

InUCTiEn · 10-12-2023, 08:26 PM

What's the cheapest sensible packaging solution for the discs in the digibook for someone who doesn't have old copies to swap out?

starmike · 10-12-2023, 10:02 PM

I bought a black 6-disc case and put the discs in that.

I found it in my Best Buy order history. This is what I got.

It doesn't say ultimate trilogy but maybe that's it.

It does say steelbook though.

Dsneybuf · 10-13-2023, 02:04 AM

I think all of the 4K BttF boxsets have the same bonus features, anyway.

KevinPike87 · 10-21-2023, 08:15 AM

I think there's an issue with both discs on my 4k set for Part 3.

Firstly, the picture on the standard Blu Ray is way, way to overexposed; it looks very white. The colors look so bad compared to the 4k (even with HDR off) and even the (albiet blurrier) 2010 Blu Ray.

Secondly, the sound is just awful on both discs. Going off the opening scene with the clock tower, I can barely hear various SFX and voice clips over certain other SFX and especially the score that I could hear just fine on the 2010 Blu Ray. I thought maybe the Atmos track on the 4k disc was messed up, so I thought maybe the regular Blu Ray disc (which is in DTS HD 5.1, similar to the 2010 version) would be fine... But it's also messed up.

This sound thing is weird to me, because parts 1 and 2 have excellent Atmos sound. There were some instances in Part 2 where it was hard to hear certain dialouge, but that was rare. Were these ever addressed and I just bought a bad, early copy? I have the standard edition in the book style case with the sleeves.

Not 100% sure. Everyone thought it was a listing error but it stayed there for a while.

Dsneybuf · 10-21-2023, 05:42 PM

Would anyone know why Part I often looks more like videotape than film on the night of the dance?

Most likely it’s down to the film stock used, low light conditions can be a struggle but at no point does the film look anything like VHS lol

Uh….it kinda does. There’s a 10-minute segment of the dance which has this fugly colour bleed, almost like someone Friedkin’ed it. Nothing to do with stock, lenses, lighting or any kind of in-camera effect as it was never there before, it’s purely some brand new stupidity that Universal decided to inflict upon the movie for the 4K transfer.

Dsneybuf · 10-22-2023, 02:14 AM

The disc also skipped over a few seconds of Doc's cheer after sending Marty back to 1985, even though that chapter previously played fine when I watched it out of context.

Parts II and III didn't skip, so I wonder if I did so because of either Universal's screensaver, or because I stopped and played the movie during the dance (to see if turning off Dolby Vision would make the picture clearer, but I don't think it did).
