From the shots MI1 spanks the tomb raider one from a great height.

Don't know why that application keeps referring to the backwards compatible hidden AC-3 track as a "core" to the TrueHD. They are entirely separate unlike DTS-MA and its actual lossy core.

Who wouldn't want to spank Tomb Raider from a great height?!

It's not often user selectable though, it's not a core but neither is it openly accessible for the most part. It's "embedded" into the transport stream and will only kick in if the EDID instructs the player that the DTHD can't be decoded (when set to bitstream). "Hidden" would be more apt but it is what it is.

For something that actually has the legacy track be user selectable it's not listed as a core or an embed at all, e.g. the Mi4K BD of Coppola's Dracula: http://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=6625&d2=6626&c=2704

I wonder why MI: 5 Rogue Nation is hard to find in stores? I've called BB, Target and FYE and all 3 stores don't have that in store.

They probably still have copies of the Blu-ray from 2015 in stock and did not order any new ones to put on shelves.

EDIT: Whoops, I see this was partially just answered. Bummer.

In my experience, the digital codes must be redeemed through iTunes in order for the title to be upgraded to 4K. Ultraviolet codes or codes redeemed through Movies Anywhere or VUDU, etc., will NOT get a free upgrade to 4K in iTunes.

I already had the digital copy code for Rogue Nation which I originally redeemed in iTunes. That title now plays in 4K Dolby Vision on my Apple TV 4K.

This morning, I discovered that Apple's iTunes is offering the digital copy codes only for ALL 5 films as a bundle for $29.99. That's for the 4K Dolby Vision versions. That's $6 per film. Even though I already owned one of them, I purchased the bundle. That's still only $7.50 each for the ones I didn't own in 4K.

M-I:3 is so good! Grain is of course the softer, larger 2K upscaled grain but every once in a while there's a shot that can completely fool you otherwise *without* any visible sharpening going on. Color and HDR are perfect, resolution can't be better, it's great.

The first three so far are fantastic! Very eager to check out 4 and 5.

Dagnabit I was going to wait until these get added to Amazon's 3 for $50 but these impressions are killing me.

[bookcase]

I'd bit on a box set, but releasing these individually allows me to spread out the purchases. First up will be the original.

[Vangeli]

Sadly, the bonus disc for III wasn't updated with the content from the BestBuy exclusive bonus DVD.

[TheSweetieMan]

I finished marathoning all of these.

They’re all fantastic discs. Every single one of them.

Paramount went the whole nine yards for these films in the same way that they did for the Transformers films. Which is rather impressive considering each film was helmed by a different filmmaker, with rather large gaps between each film, sans the previous two.

Also surprising since Paramount has been slipping as of late.

Why can’t all of their releases be this damn good.

[PowellPressburger]

All of those slips look to be in really good shape!

[TheSweetieMan]

All six of them are in pristine condition.

Very happy with the way amazon handled them.

My Rogue Nation Amazon order that was originally "usually ships in 1 to 2 months" is now set to be here on July 5. Awesome!

You have no idea how much I envy that you consider all six of those as "pristine." I would've stuck with PowellPressBurger's "Really good shape" (at least, for some of them). I'm aware I have a problem, though, and I think I blame this forum for it.

This makes me wonder if anyone has got into the slipcover grading game yet, like they have for comics/video games. I doubt it, but that would be pretty funny.

I know some hate this packaging talk, so... sorry, but to top off everything else Paramount did right with these releases (which I still am in shock turned out as well as they did), I LOVE the new cover art for these movies. It's the rare time where a studio put out new artwork that exceeds the theatrical posters (well, 5 is close to that one's poster, so that one may not "exceed").

The current 3 for $50 is labelled to "expire" on June 30th. As we know, they've had expiry dates many times now and keep getting extended. It's always possible on July 1st it's extended yet again with an updated list of movies?

I'm in no rush to buy these so I'll wait for a 3 for $50 or Black Friday.

Just watched the first film in 4K. Did anyone else feel like the Vault scene was darker then they remember on the UHD. I remember it being bright white like the room in 2001. Did anyone else feel like that? Maybe I need to recalibrate my system?
