The Shining 4K UHD (1980)

[Geoff D]

Just for reference I'm no' complaining as such, there's not much blue on the previous HD transfer either. This is going to be stunning regardless.

Probably be more blue in outdoor shots. Warmer on the inside, colder on the outside.

I saw the remaster on the big screen over the summer, and it is the most gorgeous I've ever seen the movie look. I understand the gripes about aspect ratio, Saul Bass' missing logo, and lack of the original mono, but hot damn the transfer is absolutely stunning. I don't think people will have much to complain about once they see it with their own eyes.

This is the one screen shot comparison they lost me on. I prefer the look of the painted trim on the BLU version. the 4K to me looks wrong. It just looks too much of a tint on the whole image.

the foliage shots look more on target since the leaves should be changing color and looks more fall like.

Will I be able to find this release in store at places like walmart, best buy etc? I am really interested in getting a worthy upgrade for this movie.

I'm so used to seeing the hedge maze looking solid green lol.

Forget your THX stamp lads. It's the Thunberg seal you need to look out for.

Kinda miss the greens in the hedge maze screencap. I do still think the old BD is solid for its vintage but yeah. Big improvements on the new caps, which should look even better on the actual UHD.

Toys, tennisball is yellow instead of pink, like user OgamiittoMcJ mentioned as well.

The warmth in the car had me a bit. But like I've said, warm on the inside, cold outside.

Yeah this is gonna be another Matrix situation. The wrong colors are so ingrained at this point that there's gonna be an adjustment period.

That's it! Back to Laserdisc.

The car interior shot makes sense though with the outside fall/winter light coming in.

DV will bring out a lot more nuances in the greens.
