This one is another in a growing trend of non-standard resolution DI's. It has a 2.4k DI. From the November '17 American Cinematographer:

“The final grade was performed by EFilm’s DI colorist Natasha Leonnet on an Autodesk Flame Premium Lustre at our EFilm theater located on the Fox studio lot. The working resolution was 2460x1040, and the final deliverables are a 2K DCP, an HD Rec 709 and an HD HDR.”

And half it was captured on Alexa 65 at 6.5k, the other half on regular Alexas at 2.8k

Why are these TROLLS keep putting 4k movies in DTS MA 7.1 when suppose the have either Atmos or X. But then again I just went through the list of Blu movies that have the new AQ format. And WOW I have like 50 Blu's new sound.

Most of them I won't get in 4k cause the PQ is a tad worst or even better then 4k so, what's the point. So, by them putting DTS MA 7.1 on 4k I might as well just get the Blu version and save a couple bucks

Sure you would.

[gnj1958]

I was planning on getting this but after reading some reviews it doesn't sound like the kind of movie I was hoping for. Too bad. I might just rent it instead.

Damn this 4K thing is turning out to be cheaper than I thought. Only Blade Runner 2049 on my to buy list now.

I have noticed a trend of Fox not seeming to put much effort into the HDR grade on any release that isn't action or sci-fi (Keeping Up with the Joneses, Hidden Figures, Why Him?), resulting in a dim, muted image that I often have to use a little Dynamic Contrast to push into acceptable vibrancy. As I have mentioned before, I HATE doing this, so I'm always annoyed by it. This is one of those titles.

That said, this is a good-looking disc. Though indoor scenes tend to look rather flat and thin, thankfully there is a heaping helping of handsome outdoor photography propelling this movie, and it looks wonderful. I was impressed by how much this transfer excelled in fine detail levels, and they are most apparent when you can see all the nooks and crannies popping out of a cliff-side on a snow-covered mountain.

Neither the movie nor the PQ is anything to write home about, I would say, but the transfer definitely looks very good for those interested. Personally, I can't get enough snowy exteriors in UHD, so I was pleased.

You seem to have it all figured out.

Jonses and Hidden Figures are also shot on film, which certainly can benefit from HDR, but I believe requires more careful grading as a lot of systems are set up for digitally shot movies now. So probably with more mid level titles, they don't bother to put in the extra effort in to make them look their best. The film shot Jackie and Battle of the Sexes even seem to be 4K without HDR on ITunes.

As for this movie, was pretty unimpressed by the visuals theatrically, but suspect that was the projector I saw it on (AMC in general seems to be using older equipment than Regal and some of the smaller chains) as it seemed softer looking than in the trailers.
