Oblivion 4K UHD (2013)

[gooseygander2001]

So I watched the blu ray of this again last night and it was easily one of the best 1080p releases I've seen in a while.

Is the 4K as bad as I've read in this thread?

Nah, it’s less sharp but has pleasant HDR and a warmer grade (and an Atmos track if that matters to you). I prefer the UHD but opinions vary.

This release needs a good Steelbook edition…they did a beautiful Metal Pack but those things suck. Love this movie though

I know there’s nothing that triggers eyes to roll faster than the “this looks nothing like I remember it looking in theaters” argument, my own usually included, but I’ll swear before the foot of Jesus that, gross DNR aside, the 4K adds a warmer, more candied, appearance to the film than it had in theaters. The BD is not only sharper but, arguably more importantly, features the more accurate color balance for the intended aesthetic. The 4K is probably the disc I desire an overhaul for more than any other.

Well, we're talking about digitally shot, finished and projected modern production, not film-based one from decades ago, so of course the Blu-ray looks exactly like it did on the big screen.

I read that far too quick and thought it said "the candied feet of Jesus"

No no. For the UHD they actually went back to original camera negative on film, so that's why it's better.
