I tried contacting the DP, but I am not getting an answer.

Don't blame him. People are a handful now a days. People are busy and don't have time to answer everyone's nitpicking etc. It's only a movie.

How often does a superhero movie have over a 90% score on RT? I think it's rare.

Warner's needed a good movie, so they went and stole one from Marvel...

... Yet Wonder Woman has better reviews than any of the Captain American movies . Nice try though.

Last one was seven months ago (Doctor Strange; 90%)

This is perfectly normal in the comic books. Nearly everything Marvel and DC does has mirrored each other since the beginning. (I believe Wonder Woman was DCs answer to Captain America, so yeah.)

Also I didn't particularly love The First Avenger so if Wonder Woman does it better than I'll be glad.

I want both to succeed. It's just that DC (movies) currently suck!

... And yet, finally a DC film arrives that purportedly does NOT suck, and you feel a need to bad mouth it. A DC film that currently has better reviews than any Marvel film ever released not called Iron Man.

Will have to rent it. Currently, my standard for comic book movies that did things "mostly" right are Superman: The Movie and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2.

Most of them are just noise and lights without character development or craftsmanship.

Dude, your icon is a Power Ranger...a universe which has spawned nothing creatively even close to the quality of any of the currently "sucky" DC movies.

As someone who thought Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad were messes (but watchable), Wonder Woman was amazing. It's easily the best film in the DCEU by far. It looked gorgeous as well. This is going to be one beautiful UHD.

I think we know the answer, Pieter.

It gets plenty of flack -- and rightly so -- for any movie where there's a 3D Blu-ray version available.

Since it's a 2K DI the definitive version of Wonder Woman will thusly be the 3D Blu-ray version.

Thusly my ass, they're both post-converted versions of 2K material. One adds another eye, the other adds HDR. I know which one I prefer.

I thought Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 had very nice character development and was well crafted.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

The 4K UHD will have HDR/Dolby Vision which is how it is going to be shown in Dolby Cinemas (and maybe IMAX?) and the higher bitrate will likely make the UHD version closer to the 2K DCP than the 1080p BD. 2K is technically higher res than 1920, so UHD can resolve all the detail. The definitive version will be the HDR version, which is the 4K version.

I'm speaking as a 3D fan, but I usually only buy 3D if the director considered it an important part of the film. With most of the DC movies, they're shot with no real consideration for 3D.

Surely you jest.

The DC movies have always been improved considerably in 3D. Meanwhile every DC movie I've sampled the 4K Blu-ray version of was a mediocre pile of garbage that didn't look any sharper than the standard Blu-ray version. Suicide Squad's 3D implementation was excellent. Some of the best 3D releases had it added in post-conversion. Whether 3D is shot natively or added in post-conversion is irrelevant because it can be done great either way and I have seen superb examples of both.

Stereoscopic 3D wins out over the "let's make everything bright and throw your television into store demo torch mode!!!11" gimmick that is HDR any day. I have seen at least 100 titles in 3D now and seldom have I ever thought to myself while watching it that I'd rather be watching this material in 2D with the store demo mode gimmick over watching it how I am now. The only thing that will potentially draw me away from the 3D version of something is if it also is a native 4K presentation. HDR by itself has not impressed me in the least and isn't a draw. I can have HDR on anything I want just by cranking up my display's brightness and contrast settings to its maximum values because so far with all the HDR material I've seen that seems to be what it's doing. It just makes everything super bright.

HDR is a piss-poor replacement technology for stereoscopic 3D and I don't appreciate the industry's attempt to try to get rid of something that brought real additional depth to the picture with this stupid "let's make everything flat again but let's just make it super bright now!!!" gimmick. If I wanted all my content to look like I was viewing it on a store demonstration display I wouldn't have calibrated my display and I would've just left it with the very bright, oversaturated picture settings it shipped with.

Uh-huh.

3D can add better depth than select 4K titles can add HDR, but what if the director's intention was that of the HDR look of a 4KUHD? I've watched a few interviews where director Patty Jenkins hyped the visuals of higher resolution, while mentioning that she had no input on the 3D transfer and says the 2D version is her preferred version.

Lol this.
MoS&BVS >>> anything power rangers.

The HDR/Dolby Vision version of the film is the version of the film Patty Jenkins would prefer us to watch. As she has previously said she didn't work on the 3D, but we know she worked on the movie's HDR/Dolby Vision grade then it stands to reason that would be her preferred version of the film especially as she's been hyping up watching the film at higher resolutions.

3D can certainly enhance a film, but Wonder Woman was not filmed or planned with 3D in mind, with the studio applying it during post production. BUT the film was filmed and planned with HDR/Dolby Vision in mind. Having seen the film in IMAX 3D, I can say the 3D doesn't enhance the film in any way. It's just... there. And I'm a big 3D fan.

To put it simply;

Patty Jenkins's (the director) preferred version of the film is the 2D HDR/Dolby Vision version. The UHD Blu-Ray will be the best representation of this version of the film (if the UHD Blu-Ray has Dolby Vision, it will be an even better representation).
