In all of my collection the ones that really stands out if we are only talking about picture quality then its definatly Planet Earth 2, Transformers the last knight and Billy Lynns halftime wall

AML · 11-16-2017, 02:12 PM

Billy Lynn (native 4k 60fps makes this really stand out)
The Martian (also native 4k) opening scene on mars really stood out.
Planet earth II

Some more options:
Fifth element
Sicario
Power rangers
Spider man (Toby Maguire one)
Pacific Rim

Do you have Dolby Atmos/DTS:X? If so, then many of these new titles do not utilize immersive audio anywhere near its full capability. I find it interesting that some of the older titles have better immersive sound tracks than many of the newer titles (Blade Runner and Fifth Element come to mind).

FWIW, Widescreen Review is including a immersive audio rating in their BD/UHD BD reviews.

If it's Gary R still doing all the disc reviews, I would not put much stock in those ratings.

Planet Earth 2: even though it's about 15% upscaled, the other 85% is so amazing it has to be seen.

The Revenant: Still makes my jaw drop when watching.

Pacific Rim: a prime example of how much benefit HDR makes to upscaling 2K images.

There's many other fine examples like Blade Runner and John Wick 1 and 2 that are worth your time as well.

FilmFreakosaurus · 11-16-2017, 02:30 PM

To clarify... The Martian: Extended Cut is what you want. It has both cuts in 4k. The only version with Atmos too.

Another thumbs up for Planet Earth 2.

Despicable Me 1 & 2

Sully

E.T.

Blade Runner

Cars 3

The Fifth Element

A Few Good Men

peep6543 · 11-16-2017, 02:40 PM

PE 2
Revenant
Lego Batman
Mad Max Fury Road

Top ones that I own and use as 4k demo material

I also thought Starship troopers looked great for it's age but new 4k viewers might not be as astonished looking at it first.

Lamniformes · 11-16-2017, 02:41 PM

The Shallows
John Wick 1 and 2

Brahby · 11-16-2017, 02:43 PM

Surprised I havent seen anyone mention Lucy in here. I thought that was the go to movie for the longest time being one of the original few that was "real 4k". Aside from that I would agree with Revenant. For a third, I would probably use Alien Covenant to show off what HDR can do.

i_max2k2 · 11-16-2017, 03:10 PM

Planet Earth 2
Pacific Rim
Blade Runner

animefan77 · 11-16-2017, 03:31 PM

From the reviews that I have read these seems to be really worth the upgrade, and I will definitely buy them eventually.

Planet Earth II
Revenant
Sicario
Shallows

Also, I'm definitely going to buy these from Black Friday

Ex Machina
John Wick 1 & 2

I have not been impressed by

Legend of Tarzan
Pan
Warcraft

bought both 3D and 4k for these and ended up selling 4k. 3D was just much better experience.

Pretty glad I got

Logan
Fate of Furious

For me, 4k have not been that drastic of improvement I was hoping for. Maybe it's because I own OLED TV that already achieves "true black" even with regular blu-ray. Now when I got my 4k OLED TV, that was a WOW moment even with blu-ray upscaling. So if one goes from regular 1080p TV to any 4k TV with HDR that achieves deep black with more range of colors, I think all would agree that 4k is a huge improvement from blu-ray and it's really worth it.
But comparing what OLED already does with 4k upscaling of blu-ray, most 4k disc have not been impressing me (granted, I only own 10 so far). There is a difference, but sometimes it's so minor that I wouldn't have notice if I didn't switch up the disc and compare.

But especially the first 4 titles that I have mentioned, I only see absolute positive reviews about them and seem like a true upgrade.

Laserdisk · 11-16-2017, 03:34 PM

Pacific Rim
The Town

I do not put much stock in anyone's ratings, that is why I have used Netflix by mail for all these years. I rent then decide if a title is worth a purchase. Unfortunately, many BD titles do not have the immersive sound track

while the UHD BD does.

I will say that so far Gary's immersive sound rating and my immersive sound rating have been in agreement. His movie rating and my movie rating disagree quite often

Dirk504 · 11-16-2017, 07:15 PM

1. John Wick 2
2. Logan
3. X-Men Apocalypse

Not sure if you have Atmos, but the John Wick track for that is really good too.

Actually drop Sully for it's changed audio and ratio.
Let's go for Starship Troopers in its place.

1. Planet Earth II

2. All the Nolan films coming out in December: Batman trilogy, Dunkirk, Interstellar, and Inception. I know you said for BF and only 3

but all his films were shot in extremely high quality. (Think of those IMAX shots in the Batman films or Interstellar) Nolan himself has also supervised the transfers over to the 4K Blu Ray format and it will most likely be jaw dropping in terms of PQ

3. The Revenant

Adding another recommondation here in case you're looking to only get 3 for JUST BF:

4. John Wick 2 has amazing usage of HDR and is impacted more by it than the 4K imo the PQ will show how good the format is. The sound is also incredible on this film. I'd pick up the first one if you haven't seen it
