Better 4K image from streaming than my BD player -- is this possible?

Not everything is going to blow your tits off. When I saw the thread title I thought you were comparing the streaming versions of movies to their 4K BD counterparts but you're talking about comparing different content entirely, so it's kinda apples and oranges.

Most content created for the streaming services is shot and finished in 4K, whereas 3 out of 4 of the movies you mentioned were shot on film which isn't going to look as superficially crisp and clean as those streams. It then doesn't help that T2 has been smashed with noise reduction, and Inception to a lesser extent, and although Deadpool was shot digital it was finished in 4K from a 3.4K original.

That makes sense. I was expecting a more pronounced uptick in resolution, but it’s not always there on 4K Blu-rays.

The colors though, are amazing. HDR is great.
