Atomic Blonde (2017) 4K Blu-ray

Focus Features is also part of the production. Hopefully we finally have a Dolby Atmos track.

I know this will be a excellent 4k title to watch! excited.

I was hoping this would get a 4k release. Visual potential.

[TheSweetieMan]

Nice.

I'm seeing it in Dolby Cinema next weekend, so I'm glad to see it's getting a 4K release.

Would it really matter that much if it's an excellent 2K upscale? With the way some of these upscales look, I'm not complaining at all.

anything with Charlize Theron in 4K UHD couldn't be easily ignored

Especially if that involves Sofia Boutella also.

My kind of movie...a female John Wick!

Yes. Because 4k finishes are better period. It is not even an argument. Can some 2k finishes be "good enough"? Yes. But ultimately we shouldn't be settling for "good enough". I'll still buy it. But i want my monies worth!

Well I think we're still getting our money's worth.

IMO a movie's visual style and intended look also play a major part in the end result we're seeing on UHD.

Hence why I pefer Pacific Rim, The Shallows and John Wick 2 over Jason Bourne, ID: Resurgence or Allegiant.

Looks like our first Focus Features title with 4K UHD. Nice.

[Lensman]

Pre-ordered, thanks for the heads-up.

2K DCP. Only hope is Dolby Cinema for now.

Totally agree. This whole notion of 4K DI and 2K DI has been overblown. Allied is another 4K DI and doesn't look as good as some 2K DI.

I agree with both of you guys. There are some great looking 2K finishes as well as 4k, but I'm happy we're getting more release every day. It looks like it's going to be a great second half of 2017, and a great 2018 as far as releases go. With all of the movies coming out in the fall, I might have to cancel Christmas in my house.

What you're doing here is cherry picking without realizing it. Youre comparing the best 2k upscales to the worst native 4k movies. But what your missing is what's in the middle.

Most moves with 4k DIs are impressive, except a few (that u mentioned).

Most movies with 2k DIs have not been very impressive (with the exception of a few that you mentioned).


Bottom line, quite a few 2k movies are held back by the 2k finish and would look better had the 4k workflow been consistent through out. Look at the native 4k movies that are considered reference, they have an "it" factor that the good 2k movies are still missing. Revenant, Sully, Sicario, Billy Lynn.

Wait til Dunkirk comes out. It's going to sh*t on every 2k movie out there and probably most 4k movies too.

Anyone that thinks the transfer for 'Jason Bourne' isn't impressive, needs to have their videophile card revoked.

Wasn't impressed. It's one of the most disappointing 4k finishes out there no doubt.. Even the review from avforums said it looked "suspiciously like a 2k di". That'd a 4k turd right there but it does not represent 4k finishes as a whole. It's merely an exception.
