I bought this on a recent BF sale from Zavvi, was convinced it wasn't going to get a North American release for a while......and reading posts like these, I'm having a serious buyer's remorse. I didn't receive the disc yet, it's still in transit, but can anyone explain what is so bad about the UK release?

I checked the caps before purchasing, I didn't look bad to me, i saw added detail compared to the blu ray version. My only concern was that the brightness seemed a little tuned up, but can anyone chime in with a little more detail....is it bad HDR, compression, color timing?

so it is not a bad transfer? Do you own it? If so, how would you grade it, and do you anticipate that Sony is going to best it?

ok, thanks. I thought the image looked a little too bright when i looked at the caps.

for instance in this shot, Bruce Willis almost looks like an albino

in this shot it looks like there's some Minority Report type bleaching going on

https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&...172958&i=8&l=1

I'm guessing it's a little better in motion, and the HDR conversion is a little off in these caps

Fook me, you can even see Bruce’s nose hair in the first one! He needs a trim. Pesky 4K! Lol.
