Actually prefer the Blu-ray versus UHD going off these caps.

After comparing the caps, I would have to agree that I like the Blu-ray colors better. I'm not sure why VS decided to saturate the colors so much in the 4K version.

[OutOfBoose]

Yeah, definitely over-saturated.

I sampled a little of this disc tonight and I would say that, yeah, both this and Rad have some pretty aggressive HDR and color grading. Not that they're bad or anything, but I wouldn't mind if it were dialed back a little bit.

I don't think it's a blanket thing they do to all their UHDs, because Dial Code Santa Claus doesn't share this overcooked look (which makes sense since that's a very cold, blue, snowy movie, I suppose).

As unlikely as it may be, it would be great if millcreek put out the blu of this one too. Id be all over it if so.

^ Mill Creek???

There will be a cheaper edition from Vinegar Syndrome.

I would think so. This got one:

That movie just came with a 3d slipcover though right? Didn't know there was any actual price difference.

[DR Herbert West]

The standard edition (no book, slipcover/slipbox) will probably be like $10 dollars cheaper.

[broly965]

Will the standard version included all versions/discs though?

That's a good question.

Can't imagine why it wouldn't be the same discs minus the fancy packaging and booklet.

If you're judging the color by the screen caps, you're doing the UHD a disservice. The caps are converted from HDR to SDR, compressing brightness and saturation. Neither can be judged from the caps. madVR, the renderer of choice for tone-mapping on computers, just so happens to be going through a phase where they're trying to get saturation right when tone-mapping. Right now the result is too saturated in many scenarios, just like these caps. So particularly on caps right now, don't put any stock into saturation you see unless you've tuned/calibrated it yourself and know it doesn't oversaturate. I'm in that last group, and once mine gets here (tuesday probably) I'll post if the actual image is oversaturated.

It came.

And so did I.

True dat, yet, if the colours look as boosted/oversaturated with madVR, it's mostly because it's rather bright, which is still boosted/hot/aggressive/whatever you want to call it in its own way (only doesn't look as off).

Nope. I watched the disc last night. Colors are dialed up quite a bit. Wait until you see Tanya's eyes and you'll agree. They are on white walker level.

I cancelled my order.
No way I'm gonna buy this.

The lines were NOT on the Australian blu-ray, and they did ZERO EFFORT to DIGITALLY get rid of these (and you can do that).

Some reported that it runs throughout the movie, or most of it.

I'm sorry to say this, it's painful, but I'm gravely disappointed.

LMAO, talk about an overreaction. As I just said in the VS thread:
