I've compared the UHD disc to the standard BD and the UHD digital copy for this title and haven't noticed any difference in color balance between them. And not that I would trust my memory without being able to A/B but, for what it's worth, the home grade looks exactly like I recall the color balance from the theatrical presentation, too.

I truly thought my sarcasm would be obvious... I apologize for not putting the obligatory tongue sticking out emoji...

I will edit my post...

In retrospect, it sure should've been.

Sorry it's just a quick and dirty comparison, but you can see similar differences in 80% of 4K movies

You can say that again.

Feel like it came out of nowhere... Add Shape of Water on that list too!

And hell, Pacific Rim 2 coming to theaters finally next month as well. Haven't been this hyped for a month in movies in a long time.

The special engagements of The Dark Crystal are 4k DCPs.

No, I can’t.

You can't see the difference in the linked pictures, or you can't see the difference in so many others that are similarly tellow/gray pushed?

There's another thread here that discusses it but I don't have time to find it.

The reason I brought it up here, is to add an indicator in one of the 4K lists to show which ones are VERY DIFFERENT from the ORIGINAL COLOUR PALETTE, to help buyers at least be pre-warned.

It appears to be some Studios doing this AND SOME NOT, but I have not surveyed myself, just heard that somewhere else.

I do however confirm that afte seeing about 20-30 4K UHD Blu-rays, I would say that 80% at least had VERY YELLOW shifted colour palettes, and very different from the original

[CYBORGX]

The UHD should enhance the transfer, giving MORE colours not restricting them as most of the ones I've seen do, and pushing so much into Yellow that it crushes the other colours

Restricting not the right word, more like they are not being used because of the Yellow push.

I can see the differences in the linked pictures, but I can't ascribe much to them, as they're converted from HDR (with an unknown provenance) and because none of them are of the same frame or, often, even the same scene.

What I was saying 'no' to is your assertion that I can see a yellow push in ~80% of UHD releases. I don't know where you're buying your discs, but mine don't have that issue.

Dear MGM

**** off with that streaming shit and give us some of your classics like The Terminator, RoboCop, Rocky, The Great Escape on 4K UHD Blu-ray. You could also revisit that quirky little franchise starring that British super-spy, you know the one we mean.

Signed

EVERYBODY

WHY can I only give this thanks ONCE?!
