I imagine the fact that it (while still a box office bomb) made over four times what Suburbicon did is a major factor.

[Zimmy]

I’m watching the 4k iTunes version and it’s one of the worst 4K transfers of a current movie I have seen.
I notice some nice hdr but most of the time it seems like a 10 year old 1080p transfer.
I’m interested to hear what those with the 4K Blu-ray think.

It’s dark, grainy and almost zero detail which is odd since there are lots of daytime scenes.

Another Damon movie, Elysium looks amazing by comparison.

Dolby Vision is new news.

[Vangeli]

Has any Paramount release *not* had Dolby Vision since Transformers?

[cynatnite]

The movie was okay. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to see it, but it's not good enough for me to get this. Pass.

[EarlyGrace]

Thank you for the helpful reviews. The 4K appears to have one of the worst reviews in recent memory.
It definitely needs to hit the $10 price point to make it worth the purchase.

Yikes. Is 'Suburbicon' really that bad? Been meaning to check it out, but after 'Downsizing' I've had enough of Matt Damon for a while I think.

[robguz24]

Watched this last night and enjoyed it even more than in the theater. However, the colors are muted so much as to be annoying. It wasn't like this in the theater. It's hard to believe someone actually approved this transfer. It's about the worst UHD disc I have in terms of picture quality. Everything is also way too orange. Just started streaming the iTunes 1080p version and it does not have these same problems.

Glad it is not just me. I only watched the 4k iTunes version. I will have to try streaming the 1080p version to see if I notice a difference.
Like I said before, it was like watching a sub par 1080p stream of an old movie.
Non of the pop of a new transfer created from new tech.
I compared to a viewing of Daddy's Home 2 4k which gives you everything you expect from a new transfer.

It reminds me of Bourne Legacy where the 1080p stream looks markedly better.

I think some of the professionals are having trouble with 4k transfers and HDR. I would love to see the credits of people who actually do it.

[benhoppel]

Does the HDR10 layer without DV have also issues with black level etc.?

[anthonyls]

There is something wrong with the colors (regarding HDR10) and black levels in this 4K version. It is all way much darker than the regular blu ray version. Somebody screwed up here.

[Zimmy]

The HighDefDigest review actually mentions people's complaints but said they didn't see any issue and it is a great transfer.

Something isn't correct.

I watched the HDR10 version, I don't have DV.

[Rick Grimes]

Surprised to see a BD-100 being used. Australia has used the same disc and authoring as the US, even uses the same disc livery (US R-rating).

Great thing about UHD... No Region Coding. That decision will hopefully save the physical disc format.

That's one horribly blown out BD, right there.
