Ok ill try this too.

So are the movies better than the documentaries like africa and nature films

I would say that nature and large format films like the upcoming Planet Earth 2, Samsara, and Baraka will be the go to demo discs.

If you don't want to waste your money on an IMHO sub par movie then skip Ghostbusters 2016. Get the original instead.

He wants a jaw dropping 4k blu ray. Sorry, but Ghostbusters 1984 aint dropping any jaws. The new one however, is seen as a top 5/top 10 reference PQ for the 4k hdr format. Advising he skip 2016 for 1984 because of personal bias is bad advice. And yes, I'm a huge Ghostbuster fan that originally said I would never watch the remake, but he's talking straight PQ. It looks great and I actually enjoyed the movie more than I thought I would.

It's up to the OP if they want to buy a movie purely based on picture quality or not, but if one of their criteria is a good movie as well, then I cannot recommend the new Ghostbusters reboot. Not at all. There are other, better titles to choose from that also look good.

Well if you read what he said, he specifically mentioned PQ. He specifically mentioned something vivid and colorful. Did you miss that part? Nothing about Ghostbusters 1 fits that criteria.

I created the master HDR list thread over on avs which has nearly 12,000 posts in just over a year, and I can tell you that probably 90 % of the posters actually enjoyed Ghostbusters 2016 and it was better than they expected it to be and it is usually a recommended movie for someone wanting to experience a terrific HDR picture. You know what movie NEVER gets recommended for PQ? Ghostbusters 1984.

I am curious if you've ever seen the 4k hdr version of 2016 or only going off a theater experience? If you have seen it, what tv was used?

What film or documentary would you recommend?

Personally if you’re talking feature length, I’d choose a motion picture with above average HDR and also subject matter that peaks their interests.

I remember when I was involved in underwater cinematography, I would display (16mm film projector) to my parents some of the most beautiful images of fish I'd filmed from dive spots from the Caribbean to the Red Sea they’d ever seen, but alas, if there was no plot or story line to hold their attention or my narration was boring, thee effect of thee *eye candy* wore off rather quickly.

Budgeted (by Studio 8…. http://www.fosun.com/language/en/p/9522.html) for nearly twice the number of shooting days as that for Billy Lynn (which had a 48 day schedule).

Yeah I've known about the project for a while, the question is: will they let him shoot it in the same format or not? And just a month ago, Lee said they still had to find the money for it.

You’re quite well informed if you know about the associated CGI ($$) R&D project for Thrilla in Manila, not normally reported in traditional press outlets.

Same cameras and source (3.4k) as Sicario. Should be reference quality.

Shucks, and even though it be Ridley himself here I thought you guys held absolutely no interest in the Blade Runner sequel.

Good to see interest perking or percolating.

Like with Sicario, looking forward to the eventual HDR version of Blade Runner 2049 as Arri made a rather bold claim recently this month….

often seen in Dolby demos or by bloggers using the frame grab. Googling will be of doubtful help.

For those SoCal locals into Rouge One concept art and possibly making such things a career choice, a heads-up for shortly after the new year's holiday as tickets scheduled to go on sale today….https://www.eventbrite.com/e/art-of-...350833?aff=es2
