I can't believe how many people out there today still have not seen this classic go watch it now.

2xBD100 please!

I can save this one for SUMMER 2020

I can't ever watch this film in the winter.

David Lean + 65mm negative + Sony = Heaven

Having this on Kaleidescape in SDR I can verify this. This title is, in fact, the reason I was not as impressed with 2001 ASA as many. Lawrence (with a few exceptions of a few places in the film where it looks like dupes were used) looks almost unbelievable. The fine detail, grain structure, etc just look jaw-dropping.

Nice. This fall is going to be epic.

Day one, an absolute must-have and potential new reference.

I didn’t know this was the 2001: A Space Odyssey thread.

I don't even think it's the best David Lean movie. That title goes to The Bridge on the River Kwai. But it's nice that my UHD is finally getting some company by Lawrence.

The trick is...not minding that it hurts (waiting!).

Must buy. And this was one of the Blu-ray demo discs so lets hope for a 4K demo disc!

[WestSideBomber]

Day one. So excited!

[bruceames]

Will be interesting to compare this to the 4K SDR download.

I once said I would go 4K once Lawrence of Arabia was released. I went 4K last year due to good Black Friday deals, but the point still stands- it wouldn’t feel like the format was “official” until Lawrence hit UHD.

I’m quite interested how they’re gonna fit the film on on disc, bd-100 is big, but the movie is 3h 45m long, Black Hawk Down takes up 70gb here-there, and that’s only 2h 25m long, they will have to compress the film a little more tightly if they are too fit the already existing sound mixes aswell.

Man, I hate to retire my jp Mastered in 4K copy already. But, yeah, it's LOA.

Two words:

DAY

ONE

[BerryTheMusicMan]

Another triple dip for me lol .

Can I expect it to be the best looking catalogue title on UHD?

I am anxious to see how it compares to The Bridge on the River Kwai since they're only 5 years apart.

[ROSS.T.G.]

I think I’m more excited about not having to read everyone comment in the Sony threads about this anymore.
