Interesting, I don't remember having any problems with Huntsman's black levels.

Really? There's not a single black pixel on the screen for the entire movie. I mean I know some people like to have that picture in a frame look but it's obvious black levels were set incorrectly when comparing with the blu-ray.

How do you know that's not how it's supposed to look?

p.s.- looked black and fine to me :whoknows:

I’m going to need confirmation of a remastered disc (for which I’m certainly not holding my breath) before I commit.

That's never going to happen.

I had already imported the previous European release, but that's a nice steelie.

Oh, I think that's quite a hyperbolic use of the word "never", but I agree it's very likely not going to happen with this particular release.

Son of a b!!!!!!tch! What a quandary! I’m a massive, die-hard fan of EverythingBlu’s work, but this will all be in service of a shit disc I don’t want.

I spent a solid day a couple years ago beginning to convert these two images into lenticular images that could be made into custom magnets for the original Steelbook but I abandoned that because reflections suck. They could make an interesting front/back to a slipcover though.

The new Steelbook is pretty good and unless the EB version is really really nice I have no trouble going for the Zavvi version.

The gang at EverythingBlu has “really, really nice” on point and twice on Sundays.

I was checking all day waiting for the red carpet window to lift but ended up missing out on the Zavvi version because I was absorbed in work, so let’s see what this EverythingBlu version offers.

punisher · 10-03-2020, 09:07 PM

the original blu ray SB is great..I placed my 4K UHD in that...

Filmmaker · 10-22-2020, 07:25 PM

First time ordering from EverythingBlu was a painful choice, because I really do hate what Universal did with this 4K disc and always favor the imperfect-but-overall-better BD instead, but they always suck me in with their hella beautiful packaging designs and tat. Pre-orders are now live: https://www.everythingblustore.com/p...gblu-exclusive

Eschenpod · 10-22-2020, 07:28 PM

EverythingBlu looks like a very nice package but I just want the Steelbook. Wish I hadn't missed out on the Zavvi release.

TAC · 10-22-2020, 07:31 PM

This movie was very average at best. Would love to see better choices getting 4k and steelbook treatment.

Scientololololology. Wow.

wesslan · 10-22-2020, 07:41 PM

Loved it, something just clicked. The blu-ray looked amazing and the 4K was soften than I expected/hoped but there are HDR benefits and the atmos is really nice so this is really hard not to buy. Maybe in the future we can get a new scan with the imax intact. Love the scaled off packaging even if I hate steelbooks...

Ditto, I'm so conflicted about this one. Thanks to you, I'm now a die-hard EB fan and completist. And yet... I really don't care for this film and the less-than-stellar reviews on the 4K concern me. Still, it is an incredibly beautiful film. And that packaging...

Time to flip a coin.
