It just goes to show you how f'd up the old Blu-ray's were. Ugh!

Not the absolutely best Uni has done, but nothing close to Bourne Identity or Hot Fuzz, or some of the few other DNR'd to death stinkers.

Gross. Best Buy shipped mine using usps. This will take forever.

I used to be able to ship something within Colorado in one day with USPS. Now, with the purposeful shenanigans it takes two weeks!

Do the new releases look better than pretty poor 2010 Blu-rays? Mostly yes, although growth of detail in certain parts is highly debatable. Do the new releases look good enough to profit from 4K resolution? Absolutely and totally not.

Looking at part 3, about every screen cap makes the blu-ray looks like a DVD.

Truly a monumental jump in quality.

nickosbad · 10-16-2020, 06:25 PM

I was going to check out the iTunes 4K version before deciding whether to go for the disc set but the UK versions are still showing as HD on iTunes instead of 4K like in the US

hitchcockblonde · 10-16-2020, 06:28 PM

Watched parts 1 and 2 back to back last night and thought they looked wonderful! There’s absolutely no point invoking the likes of BourneID here - it’s leagues ahead.

They’re on the ‘managed’ side of ‘filmic’ and really very pleasing. Tonnes more finely resolved detail and natural dynamic range. The car park scene in the first had so much presence to it - the sense was not only of watching a very fine grained print, but one of depth and immersion. The second movie has a flatter look to the cinematography (a surprisingly middling effort from Cundey), but grain is present and there are many moments that have never been rendered as well as they are here - the neon reds on the casino rooftop for example and the rain downpour at the end. Caps simply aren’t doing these justice - the grain is there and looks natural for the most part.

A couple of times the HDR grade has pushed a couple off coral reds too hot and I noticed rather angry grain in one particular primary blue - but these were passing exceptions in a very competently handled image.

Anyone considering cancelling orders is overreacting imo. It’s head and shoulders above the job done on Star Wars and still has that 80s look and feel.

For the Canadians reading this thread, set is 52.97 at Sunrise Records:

Got my UK set from Zoom also.

Also discs are very easy to take out and put back in, swapped mine around so the 4K discs are first to take out, with normal Blu-Ray's behind them.

Sky_Captain · 10-16-2020, 06:34 PM

How many UK cases wide, is the spine of the UK set?

4cm or almost 3 blu-ray cases.

I woke up in order to remind you that these UHD releases have image detail worth of 1080p, maybe less. You are praising Universal, but we could get these ten years ago, if Universal did their job right, instead of making BTTF a cash cow.

As far as I'm concerned, this is very poor job for what 4K could offer. Four times sharper than Full HD? That is a bad joke.

This whole thread is confusing in terms of the US Blu-rays included in the set. The UK ones had issues, but are the US Blu-rays remastered and have the DNR removed?

I'd really like to know too, in order to cancel or maintain my order for the French set.
