Back to the Future Trilogy 4K UHD (1985-1990)

Steelbook. All. The. Way. I’m so excited!

Also it’s hilarious how this preorder has gone live earlier than Universal’s Hitchcock release coming out a month sooner lol

I bet they were going to get limited theatrical runs before the pandemic and that's when Universal springs for Dolby Atmos remixes. When they are home video remixes, Universal goes with DTS: X.

Same here. I'm assuming that both editions will have digital codes with them as well? I'm going to cancel my Target order because that edition was only Blu-ray with the hoverboard not 4K.

Not yet but I'm thinking Zavvi will probably announce the 4K steelbook set very soon.

Steelbooks just to avoid the damn normal packaging

EDIT: Specifically the disc sliders

It might’ve been Amblin’s call over Universal considering Jaws is a recent Dolby Atmos + Vision release.

There was talk that Jaws, too, was getting a limited theatrical run. Again, the pandemic got in the way.



That way Universal could use the theatrical Atmos master Pro Tools session as the basis for the home video audio track rather than having to do two separate remixes.


That's their MO and it has been pretty consistent. If they had a Dolby Atmos theatrical track master to work with, that's what would normally be put on disc. If they didn't, it was a simpler DTS: X track for home video. Dolby Atmos requires more prep time since that immersive format can use audio objects, and then you have to cull the archival stems to figure out what goes in the bed channels and what individual dialog track or sound effects get encoded and placed as 3D objects (sometimes music too if the individual instrument mike stems are available). After that Atmos is actually easier to work with than DTS:X in Pro Tools or Fairlight or other DAW workstation that is Atmos compatible.

I'm going with the normal packaging too. The steelbooks look cool, but I hate how they scratch so easily and I always get scared that they'll dent. Also, I might be the only one, but I love digibooks.

They can be in a pile of shit if they look more like Waterworld and less like Casino!

[Jay Mammoth]

Went with the better looking steelbook set.

[Agent Kay]

No Struzan is a mistake, plus no mention of new masters, just what I assume is DTS-X
Hmmmm.

Understandable, i meant the disc sliders as I've had so much damage with those over the years

I hope this means that studios are going back to day-and-date physical media releases and dropping the exclusive two-week digital download windows.

What are you doing to your hubs? 😂😂 in all my years, even as a kid, I’ve never broken one.

Well we find out soon. See new thread

I’ll definitely get the regular packaging myself once it gets a uk preorder. Never been a fan of steelbooks myself.

Why would you bump a four year old thread just to say that?
