Gremlins 4K UHD (1984) (35th Anniversary Edition)

[WBMakeVMarsMovieNOW]

man, going by caps, it absolutely devastates the blu-ray

[traths]

I bought the FYE Steelbook about a month ago, I'm so pissed that I didn't wait to get the Best Buy Exclusive Steelbook that's coming out this Tuesday. It has much better cover art.

Same here, my preorder is showing Thursday (10/3) delivery. Sometimes they don't update these things until right before they're shipped though, I'll keep my fingers crossed it delivers with The Shining 4K tomorrow.

saw it in HMV at lunchtime. Really loathe the cover art. It's worse in person. I'll be picking this up at some point this week though if the transfer is as lovely as those caps looked

[TAON]

So they decided not to put the new 4k transfer on the included blu-ray disc?
My god after all this time still no upgraded blu-ray looks like ill have wait to until i have a 4k set up to buy this.

Isn't that yellow water drop background one of the old Windows 95 wallpapers?

The finger crossing worked, just received a shipment notification with a delivery ETA for tomorrow.

Watching it now. I think it looks pretty good

Got my UK copy today.





The blu-ray does appear to be the old disc, as it looks very rough and it's missing some additional features from the Diamond Luxe version too. The only extras on the disc are:

2 Commentaries.
Gremlins Behind The Scenes Featurette.
Additional Footage with optional commentary.
Photo Gallery.
3 Trailers.

Missing from the Luxe version:

Cute, Clever, Mischievous, Intelligent and Dangerous: Making Gremlins.
From Gizmo to Gremlins: Creating the Creatures.
2 Motion Comics.

Thankfully I still got my Diamond Luxe uk edition
This will be my 4rd copy of the film. DVD,2 BDs and 4k

[Matt89]

Aren't the Diamond Luxe special features on digital now?

Anyway wow the 4K absolutely destroys the Blu-ray, which really, always looked like crap so I'm not surprised that the uptick in quality is so massive this time around.

Literally running to the store after work tomorrow to pick up my copy.

I've heard a few people say this but can't confirm because the UK version doesn't come with a digital copy, so anyone in the UK wanting those extra's will have to import the US version or buy the old Luxe version as well.

The extras are on iTunes.

I thought WB would remaster all their blurays going forward since they've been pretty consistent lately. Guess not.

Those UHD caps look filmicly stunning.

[Brian81]

The caps are an impressive. I've always defended the Blu-ray disc and it's filmlike appearance, but this is to another level. It supports my thoughts that we are in an age where home video presentations surpass what one would have seen in a film's theatrical run.

Damn! I will have to get the Digital version as well then.

3) How blindingly obvious it is their film watching history consists of only the latest blockbusters, and a handful of 80s cult classics. That's not a slur aganist those who's film watching conforms to that. But at least they know who Tarkovsky is, and that's just not their cup of tea.

You'd be surprised how many people like watching that type of content, just because people's taste in film doesn't match your dossnt mean they donf know movies or film from various era's. I mostly love thriller action and horror but that mean I dont know anything about any other genre. Oh and yes I do vlog my trips to pickup new releases on youtube,, I dont buy every title nor is a race to have the biggest collection I just love making content for a hobby that I love.

Pretty sure the point he was making was more in relation to the credibility of said reviewers, as they are used on this forum as a yardstick for the quality of a new releases by some, when most discs actually turn out to be great. YouTube reviewers aren’t comprehensive, nor should their word be taken as gospel. It was also just observational humour, not to be taken as serious or a dig.
