Some better gamma and contrast there

The Other Guys

That old disc was sharpened all to hell!

I think the digital films are a cheap no brainer for Sony but the pre-2008 35mm stuff is showing some real advantage

Wow- you're right on both counts here. Looks like more than just Glory/Ghostbusters/Spiderman were noticeable improvements.

dangit just bought the older Glory last week. Oh well still a great movie.

That's as close as I can get, so please accept room for error and wait for caps-a-holic to do their thing.

All the best.

Fair enough, but if the official caps even look marginally like your S.m.a.r.t.p.h.o.n.e.p.i.c.t.u.r.e.s. in regards to the coloring of the Mastered in 4K version looking blown out and magenta/pinkish then I wouldn't call that a upgrade at all.

Definitely worth the double dip at $10 just like Ghostbusters, Spider-man, and Glory.

Yeah, it's blatantly obvious that the original release used a dated master.

Since they're releasing all these movies, Dracula has gotta come at some point.

Agreed, just trying to figure what is still going on in this shot. Optical artifact? I cannot imagine they would add EE to the 4K master.

As I have said many times in here do not hold your breath, the master is controlled by Zoetrope

Can't remember what's an effects shot and what isn't, but MIB still looks somewhat electronic for my taste...

I always looked on that as a sky replacement/recolour I may be wrong tho

That is almost SD-HD levels of a jump http://www.caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergl...ss=1#vergleich

Detail on his tie!

HeavyHitter · 07-18-2013, 04:35 PM

Yeah, a really nice improvement.

You can really see a nice broader color spectrum too compared to the older disc (almost like HD vs SD again).

Sure they didn't use the DVD for comparison? Yikes!

I'm really disappointed on this new MIB disc. It's definitely the worst catalog title on the MI4K line so far.

It still looks too much like the old transfer with even more sharpening applied to it and some small color change.

Contrast still seems boosted. EE is even worse this time.
