I held off on the UK UHD in hopes this would happen.

+1, and so glad I did
Can't wait to check out the Dolby Vision (my OLED doesn't do HDR10+)

[Maximux]

great news, was holding on the blu since a while, now will get this 4k day one

[RevolverOcelScott]

Hahah. I bought 3 copies during the Zavvi sale because it was only 5 dollars more than just buying one. Was planning on selling the other two. Of course this happens right after it ships.

I'll have to get just to compare it for myself with the UK one.

The iTunes version doesn't have Dolby Vision yet. So a fresh grade.

I can't remember the name of that streaming service that offers 60Gb+ files size Keinscape or something (?), but that version looks like the eOne version though, with its shaprness.

Also nice to see Sony finally embraced Dolby Vision.

That's right. An international thread for an international release that was released by someone other then Sony.

I will totally admit that I was wrong if this turns out to be the same light cannon as the UK release. (even if above is just marketing blech)

Doesn't mean that they didn't just run the current HDR grade through the Dobly-O-Matic though, there's a profile that's literally designed to take an HDR10 version and Dobly-fy it. And the bit about it being "reviewed" by the filmmakers is an interesting choice of words, which would seemingly point to them looking at a pre-existing version.

Can't wait for you to get it though and get those caps up. It's gonna be a laugh if it's basically the same as the Universal/eOne version.

100% thats how it had to go down History suggests if you got Rian and Yedlin in a room supervising a grade of Looper you wouldn't end up with this...

MaxCLL: 1692 cd/m2
MaxFALL: 732 cd/m2

Personally I'm peachy if they merely approved a finished master. And if it's Sony's across the board.

p.s I think way more "DV" movies get that automatic treatment than some on here get. I'm thinking Paramount for one. Disney for whenever they actually put DV out. And on their streams, whatnot.

[BaerGriggs]

Damnit, of course this is Dolby Vision and Atmos, the UK 4K version released back in July that I bought was HDR10+ and the old DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track. Still looks and sounds great, but may have to double-dip on this.

Well then that doesn't amount to much either way, does it! Goes without saying than an HDR version would be a different grade compared to that. It's whether it's any different from the actual HDR grade available on disc, that is the question.

Oh, I know that Messrs Yedlin and Johnson absolutely despise HDR. And yet which of the studios is the most eager to blast their HDR grades with thousands of nits? Sony. BTW I'm not hinting that Y & J's "mere approval" is a bad thing, it's always great to get confirmation that the filmmakers have actually signed off on this stuff, I just find it interestingly worded when you take into account the fact that there's a pre-existing HDR grade.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Sony is the same underlying "transfer" as the eOne BUT with the HDR turned all the way down. [edit] Or not, looking at the above quotes!

I won't laugh exactly, but I will survive. I see a 50:50 chance of something more subtle and want the slip, so won't wait. I'll laugh, if it's the same, but no slip.

Haven't seen this one yet and remember being annoyed when one of the Hot Tub Time Machine movies revealed a spoiler at one point as a random line in the movie.
