Yes my thoughts also, as if I thought otherwise I would have picked a copy up. It's just these glowing UK purchasers reviews have me intrigued.

I think one problem with this disc at least when watched on a 4K non-HDR set is whites/brightness is too high or crushed, and has a bit low level contrast.
Using the personalpicture setting on the Samsung UBD K-8500 decreasing brightness around 2 and 5 points (depending on the settings on your T.V.) and increasing contrast the same way helps Oblivion UHD Blu ray to look way better than without any tweaking. Give it a try.

^ And tha's exactly why I'm giving catalogue UHD's as wide a berth as possible with my SDR TV, as I'm not in this format to keep ****ing about with the settings all the time from movie to movie to movie.

Is there still problems trying to watch this on the xbox one S?

Curiosity got the better of me on my commute to work to this morning, and I ordered this. If it truly is rubbish, I at least feel safe in the knowledge that I can get my money back, by selling it on.

I wouldn't call it rubbish. The BD might be sharper, but I don't find the UHD to be a slouch either. The sound is amazing and the HDR and colors really are beautiful. If I had to chose between watching this version or the BD, I chose the UHD, softer or not.

The Japanese version is listed with English subs, but it doesn't clearly state if they're SDH or normal subtitles. If anybody could confirm these are non-SDH subtitles I would appreciate it

[Sky_Captain]

I'm sure the UK release is identical to the Japanese release, so if no one else gets a look, I can certainly do so when my copy arrives, (I'm guessing Friday or Saturday). For info purposes, Lucy has non-SDH subtitles, so could be a clue.

Thanks. Also, which version of Lucy has non-SDH English subs? I'd like to get that one too but they're all listed as SDH on this site.

I would like someone that has bought the UK version to confirm me if it has Greek subtitles.Because in Amazon UK website they say it has while the box says it doesn't.

Can someone check in the UHD menu if it indeed has or not?

Thanks

Any non-US version should be fine, as based on the amount of alternate languages, etc on the UK disc they're all the same.

I'll check this too, once I have it I hand.

Okay, so the UK release of Oblivion definitely has non-SDH English subs. With regards to Greek subtitles, it has what it calls 'Modern Greek'.

As for the actual film presentation, I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you one thing it's not... 'Filmic'. Whoever said that, is talking nonsense. It looks as smooth as a baby's posterior, but then so does the BD. Did the BD have a sharpening pass? Who knows.

Dat colour and lighting, though...

Thanks for the fast reply.

Well...it's the first time i see a blu ray disk or DVD to have "Modern" Greek.Probably it's just a typo because i don't think they would add ancient Greek for subs!

Am i right that the box is not mentioning Greek at all?

If it's not too much trouble would you be able to take a screenshot of the subtitles menu and from the movie with the subs to see if they are good?

[jjguardiola]

The germany version not includes Spanish language in the UHD disc, in the blu ray yes.

It's no trouble at all, my friend. I'll get back to you this evening.

Correct, no Spanish option.

[legends of beyond]

Is it wrong that even if it was in SDR and was still less sharp than the blu, I'd still buy a re-release if it included ancient greek?

I see there are other subs in the menu that are not written on the box like Turkish. It's strange that they left out these subs from the box.

[Sky_Captain]

Yes, those subs are from the UHD. The menu looks identical to the UK BD, complete with stupid symbols.
