The Deer Hunter (1978) 4K UHD

[JohnCarpenterLives]

Jut waiting to see if I need to get a UHD, or the British collector's edition to replace my US edition. Amazon US listings go through changes like this often enough for upcoming releases, and I doubt this is any different.

I anticipate a UHD announcement soonish.

Is the British release the latest region free release that came out not too long ago? The review for the region free release stated that the video is a little problematic but better than the US release. I just watched the US release recently and honestly think it looks pretty solid.

I think overall it's better than the US release (which I also thought/think looks solid). See the explosions, and the uniforms:

Anyone know if the US release is over-saturated?

Yeah that's the one, thanks!

Its a tough call IMO especially with the apparent messed up 5.1 audio track. I'm thinking I'll just stick with the US for now.
