Best upgrade ever from BD to 4K - Page 26 - Blu-ray Forum

gigan72 · 08-04-2025, 04:37 PM

From the ones I can immediately remember (and all are primarily due to the Blus being massively processed)

Tremors
Big Lebowski
Scream
Predator
Jurassic Park
Back to the Future
Dark City
Hellraiser
The Mummy

Def I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 1-3.

Dunkirk (I thought this was unbelievable on 4K)
The Shining
The Thing
Suspiria (Synapse- Mind Blowing)

Predator went from an unwatchable overly DNRed Blu to an excellent 4K.

The old Blu of Oldboy is okay, but the Arrow 4K of Oldboy is unbelievable. The colours really pop - the grass in the scene where Oh Dae-su emerges from the suitcase goes from drab grass to vibrant dreamlike greens. The red on the coat at the end also feels unreal in HDR.

High Society since there was no BD!

Dark Knight has the processing removed but adds strong teal. So two steps forward but one step back.

Dog Soldiers is a case where the negatives were found and it's a great improvement over the grindhouse presentation that was on the Blu-ray.

National Lampoon's Van Wilder.

I'm settling on Family Plot (no pun intended lol). As soon as I remembered that one...that has to be the biggest upgrade..

eXistenZ
Suspiria (although the bluray was nice, it's outstanding in 4k)
Pacific Rim
The Thing (except for the soundtrack issues introduced with the 4k)

Basic Instinct and Sleepy Hollow.

National Lampoon's Vacation.

The BD had zero film grain and weak on detail thanks to the DNR but the UHD has a healthy amount of film grain and lots of detail including ultra fine.
