I think saying I won't purchase further non-theatrical versions of Star Wars is no different from someone not buying a particular Blu-ray release because the colors are terrible, for example. The motivation is to have a home video presentation which, as accurately as possible, represents the original theatrical presentation. Star Wars is simply the most extreme example of that not being the case. |

There are hundreds of threads on this site I ignore because it's about a movie or release I don't care about. Life is way to short for me to find the time to check the ones I do like. I'll never understand those that spend their time in threads for a release they have no interest in. |

I honestly do think Season One is one of Got's better seasons. Which is funny since it had by far the lowest budget and scope. I think a looooooot of seasons 2-5 were meandering time wasting, but then again I say that about most serialized shows. I'm not a big fan of the serialized format. Everyone keeps telling me The Expanse is the best sci-fi in years but halfway through season one I was bored stiff.
Anyway, I still like GoT a lot because when it's good it's amazing and it seems to be heading toward a great conclusion. Eager for the last season and maybe a 4k complete set someday, depending on reviews. I thought Westworld's 4k version was meh. |

Couldn’t be happier with the show as a huge fan of the books. I loved seeing a lot of my favorite moments adapted on screen and don’t think of them as “meandering time wasting”(aside from Dorne, which was thankfully a lot shorter on the show then the ongoing book plot).

I think this may look meh too. It was shot and post-produced with plain HD broadcasting/streaming quality in mind.
If T.V. series can be hit or miss on BD just imagine the results on a more demanding format like UHD BD. It may get improved color due to the cameras capturing picture at over 8 bit depth and UHD BD getting 10/12 bit depth,but HDR on Game Of Thrones which was shot to HD/2K video without HDR in mind I think it may be like listening to Brothers In Arms on SACD and thinking that DSD sound quality is great when all one is hearing is red book 44.1/16 resolution upsampled to DSD. Upconverting a DCP 2K cinema master is one thing, upconverting and HDR grading a broadcast HD master is a different stuff. |

DCPs are usually not used for making UHDs. DCPs are compressed masters for cinemas, not archival quality sources. DI data is used. Concerning GOT a HD master can still deliver a superior image compared to the Blu Ray version. And if they go back to the raw 10 bit footage the HDR can be pretty good as well.

Great to see some more TV shows making the move to 4K, TV box sets were a huge part of my previous Blu-Ray collection, I’ll be gobbling up these as they are released and I hope we get some more shows making the jump too. Westworld was nothing to show off to friends or anything, but I’m a big fan of having it in my 4K collection.

Westworld can feel a little disappointing in the first half but the second half got rewritten in the middle of filming and it picks up considerably.
Also, similar can be said for The Expanse. You stopped watching just as it was getting good, Velvet! ![]() |
